Laureen Hayes has a remarkable real estate story to date. Whilst her successful sales span high end, high profile properties, right through to modest Kiwiana baches, her work ethic centres on three d’s; determination, discretion and diligence. Does the spotlight ever sit on Laureen? No thank you – this consummate professional prefers to keep the focus firmly on her property owner and buyers, celebrating a real estate success only when the dots and crosses have aligned impeccably and everyone is happy.
A reputation for going the extra mile, often well beyond the sale, has meant Laureen secures much of her business through the positive feedback her clients have provided along the way. Laureen is grateful for her glowing testimonials and often compares real estate with family life; “real estate is like strong family values, if you focus on people’s needs, dreams and hopes, then back it up with open and honest communication, the process simply works”. Like real estate, Laureen takes great pride in her family life and when the odd window to relax presents itself, she is most often found hanging out with her beloved family.
A community spirited woman, Laureen’s feel-good barometer rises when she’s helping out or making a difference to the elderly in town and she is well known and cherished for this. As a long time resident of Mangawhai Heads, other avenues of support are extended to the local Fishing Club where Laureen has recently become a sponsor. Giving back to the community is extremely important to Laureen.
Laureen blends her individual work style exceptionally well with the Bayleys brand, she understands how important her own role is to nurture a great result, but also adds the marketing power and reach of the Bayleys brand – making use of all available sales tools to realise a sale.
