Agents’ spat over letter

An online spat has erupted between two prominent Geelong real estate agents with Ray White Highton director Adam Natonewski taking aim at Hayeswinckle’s Stacey Hayes.

Mr Natonewski posted excerpts of a letter from Ms Hayes reportedly addressed to a home listed with Ray White, while making fun of its “poor” grammar and spelling.

“This stuff makes me laugh… with the technology we have in 2019 how does one make so many spelling mistakes,” the Ray White Highton director wrote in a post.

“Maybe focus on servicing your own clients and leave the homes with our signs out the front to us … and from a company director this is extremely poor form, but am I really surprised(?)”

Mr Natonewski took to the letter with a highlighter before posting images of it on Facebook.

“Congratulations hear (sic) at Hayeswinckle we see you have listed your property for sale,” the letter reads.

The letter proceeds to describe Hayeswinckle as the “Largest indipendant (sic) Real Esatae (sic) Agency selling appox 500 homes in all suburbs of Geelong and the surf coast (sic).”

Mr Natonewski also pointed out several errant capitalised words in the letter addressed from Ms Hayes, who is East Geelong director for Hayeswinckle.

Social media commenters savaged the letter, with one describing it as reading “like a Trump tweet” and another asking if a “five-year-old” typed it.

“It just frustrates me mate, been on the market one week and they do this!” Mr Natonewski responded to one commenter.

“If I found out any of my guys were doing this, particularly with the poor spelling and grammar, they would be dealt with harshly.”
