How do you propose to a girl in real estate?
In a press release issued today, realestate.com.au helps hopeless romantic pop the BIG question online
realestate.com.au has helped one lucky beau pop the BIG question on RENT section of its site.
Some guys like the face to face approach but Frankston local Clinton Hosking wanted to propose in a memorable way – something his bride-to-be Hayley Smith would not forget in a hurry.
“As Hayley works as a Property Manager for Harcourts in Frankston, she is obsessed with real estate continually checking out the competition online,” said Clinton.
“I thought what is one thing Hayley really loves and one thing stuck out, she loves real estate so I thought why not stick an advertisement on realestate.com.au for her to find – l really wanted this to be a genuine surprise,” he said.
Joanne Whyte, General Manager Marketing Communications and Insights at realestate.com.au said the company was thrilled to help Clinton seal the deal in an unusual way.
“We wish Clinton and Hayley every happiness. Less than two hours of the marriage proposal going live in the RENT section of realestate.com.au, nearly 500 people viewed the property listing come marriage proposal,” she said.

That really is sweet. I still prefer the traditional way of asking in person but I guess you gotta move with the times.

I saw this earlier but not sure if i should ask this but. Did she say yes? It would be a bugger if she knocked him back.
If so, would she just email him through an enquiry via the REA site? lol

Seems a bit too cheesy for me, but I guess different strokes for different folks.

Bob, I’ve heard from someone at REA that the answer was ‘Yes’ and Hayley Smith accepted the proposal.
