Deane Hughes

With more than 20 years of experience in real estate, Deane has built a reputation for a genuine approach, strong communication, and commitment to achieving great results for clients. Recently stepping into the role of Director at Barry Plant’s newest Geelong office, he’s proud to lead a dedicated team that shares his passion for helping people make confident property decisions.

Known for strong negotiation skills and genuine relationship building, he approaches every property and client with a tailored strategy. Clear advice, practical guidance, and a calm professionalism underpin his work, ensuring each stage of the process feels supported and straightforward.

Real estate, for him, has always been about people as much as property. The long-term relationships built over the years, along with returning clients and referrals from friends and family, reflect the trust, care, and results that define his approach.

Outside of work, he’s a proud family man who credits much of his success to the support of his wife, Simone, and their daughters, Georgia and Madison. His down-to-earth nature and local knowledge have earned him both respect and trust in the community he calls home.
