Harding's International Real Estate

About Harding's International

The Founder & CEO

Fergus (Gus) Harding

As CEO of Harding’s International Realty, I lead a fantastic team and brand responsible for representing both buyers and sellers of distinguished properties in Barbados.

Not only was I voted “Young Entrepreneur of the Year” by The British Business Awards and “Young Real Estate Entrepreneur of the Year” by Southern Enterprise Awards, I have made several appearances on BBC Essex Radio and Southend TV.

My agency has won a string of industry awards such as “Best Estate Agent in Southend”, “Best Online Luxury Estate Agent” and “Luxury Real Estate Agency of the Year” as well as having had properties and articles featured in media outlets such as The Daily Mail, The Sun, Vogue, House Beautiful, and many, many more!

I grew up in Southend-On-Sea (UK) and that’s where my passion for property began. I founded the agency (at the time t/a Harding Estate Agents) when I was just 21. It started as a small independent agency selling residential and commercial property up to just shy of £1m. After a couple of years, obtaining more awards, staff and stock, it quickly grew in popularity and we started selling overseas in Barbados. This is what gave birth to Harding’s International Realty.

We have since proudly co-broked with agencies & affiliations of some very large brands such as; Sotheby’s, Christie’s, Chesterton’s, Knight Frank, Royal Westmoreland & Regus.

Following further successes we saw the expansion into Turkey with our affiliate brokerage Harding Turkey as well as our digital brokerage BarbadosFractionals.com which specialises in Fractional Ownership across Barbados.

As a brand, we have listed properties across the Caribbean, Europe, Middle East & North America and with prices as high as US$125 million!

What Our Clients Say

Don't just take our word for it, here's what some of our customers had to say about Harding's International when purchasing.

"Gus was absolutely fantastic in finding us our island paradise. He kept ontop of the whole process with us getting possession in just over 4 months. I cannot express enough how great he was throughout the whole process. When the lawyers were slow Gus stepped in & got everything moving smoothly."

Darline

Vuemont, Barbados

"I have now purchased two apartments in Barbados in the past 6 months. This has been made possible as a result of Gus knowing his client and knowing the developers needs. Gus managed to negotiate two fantastic deals which resulted in everyone concerned being happy. Thanks for the patience and hard work"

Martin

Mullins Grove, Barbados

Hayley

Essex, United Kingdom

From our initial contact with Harding’s and especially Ozan (Ozzy) who we spent most of the time with, they were professional, took the time to listen to what we wanted to buy, our budget and criteria. There was no pressure during this time and once we organised our visit everything was in place from airport pick up to collection for viewings. Both Ozzy and Bahadir (Bobby) are highly knowledgeable in the areas we chose and make you feel at ease. Delighted we found our new home with these guys who made the whole process to final purchase straight forward and stress free."

Craig & Lorna

Didim, Turkey

"I was really nervous when I purchased the property online, I was worrying I hadn't viewed it and would there actually be a property there when I went out. But when I got there Ozan From Harding was there with the keys to my new house and I was over the moon with the property. The company were really helpful told me every process I needed to do to purchase the property and even purchased it on my behalf. It was really easy not like buying in the UK."

Cheryl

Akbuk, Turkey

"My experience of using Harding's International to purchase my villa in Didim Turkey has been 100% positive. Having had no previous experience in buying property abroad, I was understandably very nervous about the situation. But the whole process has been smooth and problem free, I would say easier than buying in the UK. Harding's Turkish affiliates, in Didim, Ozan and Bahadir guided me through the whole process and made sure that everything taken care of."
