Why Proven Performance Matters When Selling Your Most Valuable Asset

Posted in Insights September 8th 2025

In real estate, everyone says they’re number one. But claims don’t sell homes – performance does. As Canberra’s only agency ranked in Australia’s Top 50 sales offices, I want to unpack what that recognition actually means for you as a seller.

Because when it comes to your most valuable asset, you don’t need marketing spin. You need a result.

Our Results, By the Numbers

In the past 12 months alone, Hayman Partners has sold 375 properties across Canberra, totalling over $323 million in settlements. That’s around 3.7% of all Canberra sales – a figure built on consistency, not market luck.

But the headline isn’t the number. It’s what sits behind it.

1. Market Insight That Can’t Be Googled

When you’re selling at scale, you don’t need to guess what motivates buyers – you know. We’ve seen how campaigns perform across suburbs, price brackets and property types, giving us unmatched clarity on how to price, position and negotiate your sale.

2. A Real Team, Not Just a Solo Act

Our 30+ strong team didn’t come together by accident. From marketing and negotiation to buyer follow-up and open home prep, each team member plays a defined role – so your campaign runs like clockwork. While some agents try to do it all, we prefer to do it properly.

3. Systems That Withstand Any Market

Our national Top 50 status wasn’t handed out for effort – it was earned through structure, process, and adaptability. When conditions shift, we don’t guess. We lean on what we know works.


What This Means for You

For Property Investors: Your priorities are clear – maximise the sale price, minimise holding costs. With hundreds of sales under our belt, we know how to benchmark your property correctly and position it for a clean, capital-focused result.

For Downsizers: We understand that this move is personal. You want the right price, but also a smooth experience. Our team approach means we handle the logistics, the marketing and the negotiation – so you can focus on your next chapter.

For Professionals & Business Owners: Time is tight, and results matter. Our structure means we’re fast, responsive and efficient – without cutting corners. You’ll have a dedicated team behind the scenes, so you can stay focused on your business.


The Reality: Not All Agents Are Equal

Here’s the truth most don’t say out loud – the difference between a good agent and a great one isn’t marginal. On a $1 million property, a strong negotiator and high-performing team could add $50,000–$100,000 to your sale price. That dwarfs any commission “saving”.

You’re not paying for time – you’re paying for outcome.


Why Our Team Outperforms

While I’m proud to be ranked among Australia’s top 100 agents for the eighth year running, I know this: real estate success isn’t a one-person job.

To get it right, you need:

One person can’t master all of that. But a team with clear roles, aligned goals and shared standards can – and does.


Looking Ahead

The market is shifting. Buyer behaviour is changing. And selling strategies must evolve. Because we operate at scale, we invest in the best technology, training and talent – and those investments benefit every client we work with.

That’s what our Top 50 national ranking represents: Canberra-focused service, backed by Australia-wide excellence.
