Local agency scoops coveted national award

GEELONG region real estate agency Hayeswinckle has earned recognition on the national stage for its outstanding performance across 2022.

The Geelong-founded agency was recognised as the best small network for last year by review platform RateMyAgent.

Business directors Daniel Hayes and Michelle Winckle accepted the gong at RateMyAgent’s gala dinner in Melbourne.

RateMyAgent evaluates more than 36,000 agents and agencies across Australia, with its annual awards determined by verified customer reviews posted to its website, rather than industry peers.

After 10 years in business, the Hayeswinckle has expanded its presence to cover Geelong top to bottom, with offices at Lara, Newton, East Geelong, Highton and Armstrong Creek, and with a foray into the Bellarine market at Drysdale.

Other agencies prominent in the Geelong-Surf Coast region also picked up awards on the night; Buxton was named the medium network of the year while Belle Property was crowned best large network.

A host of other local agents and agencies also picked up awards for suburb-specific awards for their performance in 2022.
