“Hayeswinckle will have its foundation and culture firmly rooted in Geelong. We’re excited about the opportunity to use our success to inject some money back into this community where we all live and work,” said Michelle. “But we won’t stop there. We have an aggressive expansion plan in train. While others claim to be different Hayeswinckle will be proving it, continuing to walk the talk, selling properties at record prices, conducting fast, furious auctions and thinking outside the traditional constraints of the industry. “We’re at the pointy end of the business now,” explained Daniel. “Michelle and I have both triumphed over big challenges in our pasts and we never forget where we came from. We’re not afraid to take risks, but we take nothing for granted. We are living proof that if you’re true to yourself and have belief, you can achieve anything.”

That’s the thinking that makes hayeswinckle unique and powerful … and definitely one to watch

“We’re not hiding behind fancy offices and big claims,” explained Managing Director, Daniel Hayes. “We know what sells houses – persistence and more persistence. It’s about strategy, hard work, putting in the hours, being courageous, negotiating aggressively and working doggedly with one aim: to sell every property for the best possible price. Through and through, we are vendors’ agents.” And Daniel should know. His accomplishments include being the Number 1 agent for the Ray White network, regularly ranking amongst the Top 10 performers internationally and leading the Number 1 agency in Victoria/Tasmania in 2010 with sales totalling more than a quarter of a billion dollars.

Hayeswinckle AGENT Director, Michelle Winckle, was the franchise’s Number 1 female agent in 2010 and backs that up with an impressive list of international and national rankings. “Yes, the Ray White brand has been good to us,” said Michelle. “But it’s time for Daniel and I to take our specialist skills to a new level.” Daniel agreed. “We’re both leaders and felt some constraints within the franchise. Hayeswinckle AGENT puts into practice what we know, that getting the best price for a property is all about the calibre of the agent. That’s why we’re stoked that every one of our hand-picked, industry-leading sales team is joining us at Hayeswinckle AGENT. Together, we’re a formidable, high-intensity team.” In the last 90 days, that formidable team has sold an astounding 130 properties!
