So grateful for Chris & Sarah's work

Carol & John | Vendor - Wollongong

We are so grateful for Chris & Sarah's work regarding this settlement, especially for the "No Fuss" simple and straightforward forward honest approach to the selling of Mum's property to obtain a swift result.

Carol & John | Vendor - Wollongong

Good Communication and Prompt

Vinod | Tenant - Wollongong

Chelsea was very helpful through out my tenancy. Good Communication and Prompt response for any issues.

Vinod | Tenant - Wollongong

extremely good communication throughout

Buyer - Wollongong

Auction Bid was unsuccessful and new Open houses commenced for vendor. However, we felt Jake provided extremely good communication throughout and always followed through with honest & trusted information. We would recommend Jake and his auctioneer father and L J Hooker Wollongong including managing our access arrangements prior to settlement. So far a seamless transition to our new home. 

Buyer - Wollongong

R.Lawson | Vendor - Wollongong

Sarah is fantastic she was able to sell my unit so quickly and for a great price. Sarah answered all my questions and was professional throughout the whole process. I'm asking Sarah to sell my next property as well.

I highly recommended

Snezana | Buyer & Landlord - Wollongong

I have been with LJ Hooker Wollongong for over 5 years now. From purchasing my first investment property to trusting them with the property management, the service has been outstanding. Chelsea Hill as my Property Manager has always gone above-and-beyond. She takes care of everything and keeps me updated every step of the way without fail. She is professional, understands the market and works hard to get the best outcomes. Thank you for your efforts to date and I look forward to many more years of your service. I highly recommended 👌

Snezana | Buyer & Landlord - Wollongong

Professional, empathetic and patient

J A | Seller - Shellharbour

Martin Merritt and his wonderful team at L.J Hooker Shellharbour were professional, empathetic and patient with the sale of our home. We couldn't be happier with the result and cannot thank them enough for all of their help. Highly recommended and would, without reservation, work with Martin and the L.J Hooker Shellharbour team again.

J A | Seller - Shellharbour

People behind the brand that are truly amazing

Chris Lovatt | Seller - Shellharbour

We could not be any happier with the service, the staff and the price we got for our home. Martin is an exceptional agent. Nothing phases him and he remains positive and hard working until he attains the best result for his clients. Teamed with David, they worked tirelessly and conducted many open homes for us. We lost our first sale but that didn’t deter them. They pressed on and got an even better price. LJ Hooker is a true force in RealEstate but it’s the people behind the brand that are truly amazing. LJ Hooker you’re the best!

Chris Lovatt | Seller - Shellharbour

Extremely open about the whole process

Delina | Tenant - Corrimal

Michael was an absolute pleasure to deal with. As the tenant in the house being sold, he made sure I understood the process and was completely comfortable with whoever was going to be inside or around the home during the sale process. He was professional, understanding, caring, accommodating and extremely open about the whole process. I can not recommend Michael highly enough. Thank you Michael for making what can be a very stressful time easier.

Delina | Tenant - Corrimal
