About Michelle
Transitioning to the real estate industry felt like finding my tribe. I truly love the pace and dynamism. I thrive on the collective energy created in this ultra-enthusiastic, dedicated team of ours. Although my mantra is to not look back, I can't help but be proud of where I come from and what I've achieved. Its the reality check that energises me to keep active and in the race. There is always more to accomplish, more records to set, and more vendors to thrill. Hayeswinckle is the vehicle for us to take it up another gear, to channel our significant momentum into a Geelong-focused brand springboard from which we can expand regionally. To say it's exciting is an understatement. It's truly exhilarating. As long as I continue to experience that amazing buzz from sealing a great deal, from dropping the hammer on a record-breaking auction, I know I'm in the right place. Meanwhile, I'm proving to my five young children that hard work and passion have their own rewards and that nothing is as powerful as believing in yourself.

Rachael is authentic, reliable, knowledgeable and will always get the best results for her clients

This was the third property Rachael had sold for us, we were living in a rural area where the market was slow and very specific to buyers. Due to family ill health we needed to move back into town asap, she worked tirelessly to get our home sold for us, she constantly kept us updated, guided us on the market, potential buyers, and although it took a little longer than we’d hoped, she got it sold at a price we were happy with and a settlement that also suited our situation. We would not hesitate in recommending Rachael, like I said previously, she is authentic and she knows her stuff. She will work solely for you and achieve the outcome you want, relative to the current market. Rachael takes the time to know you, that’s why we have always gone back to her.

Exceptional Market Knowledge and Results in a Challenging Market

We couldn't be happier with the service and outcome provided by Rachael. From day one, her deep knowledge of the local market stood out, giving us complete confidence in our pricing and campaign strategy. What truly sets her apart is her genuine passion for what she does: she approached every open for inspection and buyer negotiation with energy and dedication. Selling in the current market comes with plenty of challenges, but Rachael stayed proactive, adaptable, and focused until she got the deal done. If you want an agent who knows the market inside out and works tirelessly to deliver a great result, we highly recommend Rachael.

Excellent experience. Family focused.

We had a fantastic experience selling our home with Michelle and team at Hayeswinkle. As a young family, the thought of selling our house felt overwhelming, but they made the entire process so easy and stress-free. Communication was excellent throughout, keeping us informed every step of the way and always making themselves available to answer our questions. We really appreciated their support and understanding of our family’s needs. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell their home!

A dedicated team that truly goes above and beyond

We recently sold our property through Hayswinkle Highton and were extremely impressed with the professionalism and dedication of the entire team. In particular I we would like to thank Michelle Winkle and Sophie Spowart. From the start, they demonstrated exceptional market knowledge and provided honest, realistic advice about current pricing, buyers expectations and the current market conditions. They were transparent throughout the process giving us confidence that we were receiving genuine guidance. In particular, we were impressed by the communication and follow up in what is a tough market. We were kept informed after the many inspections and associated buyer enquiries. Their responsiveness was outstanding. The team worked incredibly hard to maximise the exposure of our property and for that we were very grateful. Their persistence was amazing. I thank the team for everything they did. They definitely know the market, provide honest advice, excellent follow up and caring customer service. We highly recommend them.

Outstanding Service and Excellent Results in a Challenging Market

I had a fantastic experience working with Michelle Winckle to sell my investment property. From start to finish, Michelle was incredibly organised, professional, and proactive throughout the entire process. Communication was one of her greatest strengths. She was always contactable, responded promptly to any questions or concerns, and actioned anything I needed almost immediately. It gave me great confidence knowing I could rely on her every step of the way. The market was quite slow at the time, and despite having very little attendance at inspections, Michelle remained positive, determined, and focused on achieving the best possible outcome. Her persistence and expertise paid off, as she was still able to secure a great price for the property under challenging circumstances. The entire sale process was handled smoothly and efficiently, right through to settlement, which was completely hassle-free. Michelle's professionalism, dedication, and commitment to her clients really stood out. I would not hesitate to recommend Michelle to anyone looking to buy or sell property, and I would absolutely consider using her again in the future. Thank you, Michelle, for your outstanding work!
