Experience and Knowledge

Hayden started his career in the real estate industry in 2005, being trained under the careful guidance of James Twiss in Canterbury.

In 2007 Hayden was asked to join another real estate company and moved to Auckland as their Business Development Manager for Auckland and Northland. Following this he went on to open his own real estate business under that same brand in 2009. This was all achieved while undertaking a Graduate Diploma in Business Studies majoring in Real Estate and obtaining his Associate Member of the Real Estate Industry of New Zealand status (AREINZ).

In 2018 Hayden was presented with the opportunity to sell his business to a fellow franchisee and become that company’s General Manager. Three days into the job Hayden was offered the exciting opportunity of moving back to Christchurch to take up the role of Harcourts South Island Regional Manager.

15 months later, Hayden is delighted and honoured to be presented the opportunity to purchase a shareholding in the Holmwood Fendalton office and join Tony Jenkins’ leadership team.

He is looking forward to this exciting new chapter!

Join us at our Fendalton Office

As the Sales Manager of the Harcourts Holmwood St Albans office, I have the pleasure of working with a phenomenal team of hard-working and friendly professionals.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling, please contact me to discuss your needs. I’ll put you in touch with the right person for you.

If you’re thinking about a career in real estate, please call me for a confidential chat.

I started my career as a Buyers’ Agent for an award-winning agent and gained a strong understanding of what makes a successful real estate team ‘tick’. After several years in sales I made the move into auctioneering and in 2019 I was named the Harcourts National ‘Rising Star’.

I’ve since assisted thousands of people in buying and selling property, and my ethos is very simple: treat people like people. A great client experience is the key to success in real estate, and the team at St Albans are a testament to that.

Our office is a fun, diverse and happy environment – and there’s room for you too. So, call me today. I’d love to talk.
