Harcourts Ulverstone & Penguin Expands to Devonport and Shearwater

Harcourts Ulverstone & Penguin, one of the North West Coast's leading real estate teams, has announced its expansion into the Devonport and Shearwater franchise areas — a move that extends its reach from Heybridge through to Hawley Beach and everywhere in between.

 

The business, proudly locally owned and operated by Brad Reeves and Wendy Squibb, has built a strong reputation across the North West Coast through its commitment to trust, outstanding results, and a genuinely people-first approach to real estate. This expansion represents a natural progression for the business, deepening its connection with communities it has long served.

 

The new Devonport office is located at 47 Oldaker Street — the former Michael Burr Real Estate building — a well-known and highly recognisable address for locals. Positioned directly opposite Hill Street Grocer, the office occupies one of Devonport's most visible and accessible locations.

 

"This expansion is not about changing who we are — it is about growing our reach," said Brad Reeves. "Our clients will still be dealing with the same wonderful staff they know and trust, just with the ability for us to service a larger area across the Coast."

 

For Wendy Squibb, the move to Devonport carries particular significance. A highly respected agent with years of experience in the area, Wendy returns to Devonport with deep local knowledge and an established network of relationships.

 

"Devonport feels very much like coming home," said Wendy Squibb. "It is a community I know incredibly well, and I am proud to continue serving it under the Harcourts Ulverstone & Penguin banner."

 

The expansion also includes the Shearwater and Port Sorell area — a coastal lifestyle destination that continues to attract strong interest from both locals and those looking to relocate.

 

The new Devonport office has been fitted out with the same intention that defines the Harcourts Ulverstone & Penguin brand: professional, welcoming, and reflective of a team that puts people first. Open, collaborative workspaces sit alongside comfortable client meeting areas, creating an environment that feels as approachable as it does capable.

 

Harcourts Tasmania Co-CEOs Kate Littlejohn and Tony Morrison were quick to praise the development.

 

"Brad and Wendy have built something truly special at Harcourts Ulverstone & Penguin," said Kate Littlejohn. "Their commitment to their people, their clients, and their community is exactly what Harcourts stands for. This expansion is a testament to their leadership, and we could not be more excited to see the business grow into Devonport and Shearwater."

 

Tony Morrison echoed that sentiment: "The North West Coast is an incredibly important market, and having a team of this calibre now servicing a wider area is fantastic news for the region. Brad and Wendy lead with integrity, and the results they consistently deliver speak for themselves. We are proud to have them as part of the Harcourts family."

 

Being part of the Harcourts network gives the business the best of both worlds — the backing of a respected national and international brand, combined with the local knowledge and genuine community connection that only a locally owned and operated office can provide.
