I‘m passionate about getting great results for my clients and I’m mindful that buying and renting can be very stressful so I do my best to make it as straightforward as possible for everyone. In 2014 I resigned as a Director at Sherry FitzGerald Lettings, and I decided to establish Haines, borrowing my wife’s maiden name, and in 2015, Haines acquired Home Managers. I love living and working in Dun Laoghaire. The town has so much potential and after so many years it‘s finally getting it’s act together. Julie & I would find it difficult to live anywhere else! My twin girls love the People’s Park, especially on a Sunday afternoon, and of course the newest addition loves a Teddys 99! (who doesn’t). If you‘re thinking about selling or letting your property in Dublin, I promise you that you’ll be well looked after at Haines. I’ve some great restaurant recommendations too… You can reach me on my mobile most of the time at 087 2722222 or if it suits you better, email me. Thanks for visiting our website.

Hazell joined Haines in 2014 and quickly became an integral part of the team.

Barbara is the newest member to our team having joined in 2020, but it has felt like she has been here for years. A mother from South Dublin and Wicklow, she is always helping tenants and landlords any way she can.
Vikki joined us in 2015, landed in the deep end and hasn’t looked back since. Living in Monkstown, Vikki has lots of local knowledge to share with clients, tenants and potential clients or tenants.

A fantastic Karaoke singer (after midnight), Vikki has teenage boys who are her pride and joy.
Jane establised Home Managers in 1987 with Joan Pollard and was always the partner with the eye on the figures. Jane met Joan on a start your own business course and they both quickly realised they had shared the same job in Italy! After recognising the demand and need for a dedicated management company, they established Home Managers in Jane’s kitchen and the rest is history. Jane as a great eye for detail and we often get referrals from tenants who didn‘t love the thorough inspections but now that they’re landlords, want the same level of detail. Jane lives in Dalkey and is an active traveller.
Joan was the original Home Manager in 1987! After meeting Jane on an entrepeneur course, they established a great rapport over a love of all things Italian and established Home Managers soon afterwards. Clients say Joan’s quick wit and tenacity is one of her many endearing qualities and those clients remain with Haines to this day! Joan, together with her original partner, Jane, carry out all the routine property inspections every four months.
