Michael Haggarty

Mick brings 35 years of experience and one of the most trusted real estate opinions in Maitland and the Hunter Valley to his role as Partner at Presence. His approach is simple: real estate is about people first, and the measure of his work is the difference it makes in his clients’ lives.

Property has been part of Mick’s life from the start. His family started their real estate business in 1980, and growing up around those conversations gave him an early feel for the industry. Helping out during school holidays turned into a lifelong passion, and he has never looked back. Clients know him for one thing above all: outstanding results.

He lives the Presence value of Makers Not Takers, driven by a deep passion for his community. Mick treats every client’s price as if it were his own, and defends it accordingly. That commitment showed recently when a set of clients achieved $160,000 above their expectations, a result they likened to winning the lottery. Seeing outcomes like that set people up for life is what keeps him in the game.

Maitland is his patch and his home, and his local knowledge runs deep. His property hot take, passed down from his mum: bricks and mortar is the greatest investment in life, and the best time to buy was yesterday. With the Maitland region forecast to grow beyond 130,000 residents over the next decade, he sees it as one of the most desirable markets in the region.

Off the clock, you’ll find Mick fishing, on the golf course, or spending time with his wife and kids.
