Always honest and upfront
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.
Prompt, clear and consistent communication
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.
Seamless process, final price was well beyond expectations
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
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.
Very professional, helpful and always there for me
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.
Knowledgeable, responsive and consistently reliable
We’ve been using LJ Hooker Wollongong for rental management and advice for many years and have always been impressed by their professionalism and the genuine care they show. The team is knowledgeable, responsive, and consistently reliable. Karl is the best! Highly recommend their services!
Highly professional, engaging and approachable
Aiden was highly professional, very engaging and approachable. He was attentive to all our needs as a seller and his communication was excellent. He always responded to us in a timely manner and was very helpful with anything that we needed. We would recommend him to our family and friends!
Extremely impressed by their professionalism
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. The property sold very quickly, and my sister and I were extremely impressed by their professionalism throughout the entire experience. I would definitely recommend LJ Hooker Corrimal.
Very competent and reliable
Chelsea is a very competent and reliable property manager. She communicates promptly and deals with complex issues in consultation with other relevant staff, strata managers and tradespeople. Thank you for all your hard work Chelsea.
Extremely helpful and polite
Great service from Rachael! Rachael was extremely helpful and polite! She was an absolute pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend from the leasing team.
Never made me wait for a response
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.
