In a groundbreaking move, Stone Real Estate has officially expanded its operations beyond Australia, launching its first international office in Te Awamutu, New Zealand.

This milestone comes as the renowned brand celebrates its 10th anniversary, marking a significant achievement in its journey of innovation and growth.

Peter Mumford, CEO of Stone Real Estate, expressed his enthusiasm for the milestone:"I am incredibly proud to officially welcome the Stone Real Estate Te Awamutu office to the Stone network as our very first international location in New Zealand. This marks an incredible milestone for our brand as we expand beyond Australia, made even more special as we celebrate our 10th anniversary this year."

The Stone Real Estate Te Awamutu office is set to transform the local real estate landscape by combining the Hagan family's 30+ years of trusted community service with Stone’s innovative tools and expansive networks. This exciting evolution is a testament to the Hagan family’s unwavering dedication to the community and their commitment to shaping the future of real estate in the Waikato region.

Ken and Heather Hagan, alongside their son Todd Hagan, have been pillars of the Te Awamutu property market, offering expertise across residential, rural, lifestyle, and property management sectors.

As the franchise transitions to the Stone Real Estate brand, Todd Hagan takes on leadership responsibilities, supported by Braden Chick, who joins as a part-owner. Together, they are set to drive the business forward with a focus on innovation, talent, and local insight.

Todd Hagan shared his excitement about the transition:"We’re incredibly excited to take this next step in our careers and bring the Stone Real Estate brand to the Waikato region.

This is an opportunity to combine decades of local knowledge with the innovation and resources of a forward-thinking brand, delivering unparalleled service to our community."

I’m thrilled to be part of a team that prioritises integrity, relationships, and results, and I’m looking forward to helping shape the future of real estate in Te Awamutu and the wider Waikato area."

The experienced team includes Residential Team Lead Tanya Hollobon, who has successfully guided her team of agents and office support staff through this transition. Meanwhile, Rural Agent Mark Weal, with over $100 million in rural sales, is set to continue delivering exceptional results under the Stone Rural brand.
