Testimonial Slider

People behind the brand 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. He worked tirelessly and conducted many open homes for us. We lost our first sale but that didn’t deter him. He pressed on and got an even better price. LJ Hooker is a true force in real estate 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 cannot recommend Michael highly enough. Thank you Michael for making what can be a very stressful time easier.

Delina | Tenant - Corrimal

Beverley Poulton | Seller - Wollongong

Jake was fantastic in the process of selling the home that I have lived in for over 25 years. He made an emotional time less stressful by being fully transparent and communicating with me often. I highly recommend Jake and the team at LJ Hooker Wollongong.

AMAZING!

Lianne | Landlord - Wollongong

Kelly is AMAZING! We have been landlords for over 25 years and cannot speak highly enough of this lovely lady who is professional, but also very friendly, and has constantly gone above and beyond as we are located remotely from the property. A real asset to this company.

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.

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.
