Isle of Man agency Harmony Homes has merged with Island-based property group Partners Real Estate.

There will be no immediate changes at Harmony Homes, although there are plans to invest in and expand the business, which will now benefit from access to the resources and expertise of the Partners group.

The deal includes the Port Erin and Douglas offices of Harmony Homes, which became separate businesses in 2018. 

Port Erin managing director Helen Ainsworth, who founded Harmony Homes almost two decades ago, will continue to play a role as an advisor to the Partners board. 

Partners co-founder and chairman Brendan Beeken, an Isle of Man resident for almost 30 years, says: “I’m delighted we have concluded this deal to have both Harmony Homes businesses merge with us. A firmly established name within the Island property market, the team has an outstanding reputation for service and a commitment to delivering for buyers, sellers, landlords and tenants.

“I’m particularly pleased that Helen has agreed to join Partners as advisor to the board and as a member of the board locally, sharing her wealth of experience and renowned expertise in the Island property market. Since establishing Harmony Homes almost 20 years ago, Helen has built one of most well-known and highly respected real estate businesses in the Island.

“We look forward to her invaluable insights and advice as Harmony Homes begins a new chapter and we continue to develop the Partners group here and beyond the Island.”

Ainsworth herself says: “Partners Real Estate shares our values of delivering first-class services to all our clients, ensuring the process of buying, selling and renting a property is streamlined and as straightforward as possible.

“While it remains ‘business as usual’ for now, this is the beginning of an exciting new era for Harmony Homes. As part of the Partners Real Estate group, we will be able to further enhance our services across the Island. I’m delighted I will have a role in helping to shape that future.”

This is the latest Isle of Man deal by international Partners Real Estate, which is headquartered in Douglas, following the purchase of Property Wise. In November, Partners also concluded a merger with UK-based estate agent O’Connell Property Agents.

The deals are part of the expansion of the Partners network of estate and property agencies across the Isle of Man, UK and United Arab Emirates.
