About The Team
In 2012, Urszula left the corporate world and account management to start a career that would work around her young family and in an area close to her heart and home, Lincoln.
​
As the business grew from almost entirely word of mouth and referral, Haley Smith joined Urszula as a Part Time PA in 2017. With Haley at the helm of administration and customer service, Urszula was able to dedicate even more time to her vendors and the reach increased with sales further into Selwyn.
​
In 2019 Urszula was given an unmissable opportunity to go back to visit her roots in Poland. During this time Haley was very close to finishing her real estate qualification which she gained shortly afterwards. Haley was now able to help with buyer enquiries and viewings and soon started selling and building her own portfolio of clients. The business continued to grow – based on a network of ‘friend-ors’ (vendors who have become friends with Haley by Urszula’s side.)
​
We are proud of our team and the successful results we have created for over 100 vendors, and our Top 20 ranking within Bayleys Canterbury every year, from 2017-2024. Through hard work and unwavering dedication to our vendors our sub-brand under Bayleys umbrella is looking forward to creating many more successful real estate for many years to come.

Her experience managing complex builds with care and clarity now translates into a real estate service where nothing is left to chance. Her systems are sharp, her attention to detail is next level, and her commitment to getting it right for her clients is unwavering.

Relationship management is at the heart of everything Haley does. Her motto, “care, not compromise,” is more than a tagline it defines the way she works. Clients value her authentic communication style, calm presence, and absolute dedication to achieving exceptional outcomes.

Outside of real estate, Haley is a proud and active member of the local community, including serving on the Board of Trustees at her children’s school.
