Always honest and upfront

Michael Mallett - Wollongong Office

Highly recommend Jake. Sold me a property originally, and then sold it for me 4 years later. Was always honest and upfront on all our communication, walked me through all my questions patiently with no nonsense. Very happy with how the sale was conducted, did everything possible to save me money, and get me what I wanted with an amazing turnaround. Would be happy to use again.

Michael Mallett - Wollongong Office

Prompt, clear and consistent communication

Bec - Shellharbour Office

Kelly was amazing to work with. I needed to move into a rental very quickly and she worked with me to make it happen. Her communication was prompt, clear and consistent throughout the entire process. She was honest, professional, and genuinely invested in helping me get into my new home. Kelly has also checked in after our move to make sure we had settled in ok.

Bec - Shellharbour Office

Seamless process, final price was well beyond expectations

Seller of house in Corrimal - Corrimal Office

From the moment Martin first inspected our property, I knew he would be the best agent for the job. His enthusiasm, approachability and honesty had me sold! Within a week of listing and the first open house, we had a genuine buyer and signed contract. Sold! The whole process was seamless, ending with a final price well beyond expectations. Martin Merritt is the most genuine agent I have ever met, and we can’t thank him enough for the result he achieved.

Super friendly and so knowledgeable

Bree Denver - Wollongong Office

My partner and I recently went to an open home in Wollongong. I met Ebony who was super friendly and so knowledgeable. She answered all questions I had and provided me with everything I needed regarding the property. Would definitely rent through LJ Hooker based on my experience. Thanks Ebony.

Bree Denver - Wollongong Office

Very professional, helpful and always there for me

Janice Kershaw, seller of house in Bellambi - Corrimal Office

Alissa was very professional, helpful and always there for me. She provided invaluable advice on how to prepare my home for sale and supported me every way she could. It was a very stressful time for me as I was selling and buying, and my husband was overseas. Alissa was there when I needed her with empathy, positivity and support. Alissa was a great agent and I don’t know if I could have done it or achieved the outcome without her.

Michael Godfrey and the team at LJ Hooker Corrimal were an absolute dream to work with. They guided us through the process of selling my Mum’s house with genuine care and understanding our needs.

Never made me wait for a response

Seller of house in Albion Park Rail - Shellharbour Office

Bill was amazing. He couldn’t do enough to assist me with the sale of my house. From organising cleaners, yard maintenance and skip bins to get rid of things. Always responded to my calls or messages and never making me wait for a response. Would advise anyone selling to use him. Thank you Bill for everything.
