Seller review
The whole process from the initial meeting to actually selling my property was seamless

The whole process from the initial meeting to actually selling my property was seamless

Karan and her team showed that they had great market knowledge and the advice given to make the marketing short with an Auction after 3 weeks was brilliant. Thai’s allowed the property to show its own level of value as it was different to most other properties on the market previously and at the time. Communication was great with the available portal which I had access to at all times. This gave me feedback on prospective buyers and how the marketing process was progressing. All agents and the Auctioneer showed true professionalism at all times throughout the process. The end result was a happy purchaser and seller. I would recommend Karan and her team to anyone looking to sell their property in or around the Twizel district,

Libby is fantastic! Great communicator.

Libby has been fab to work with, in the process of buying our very first holiday home in Twizel. She’s extremely responsive and kept us up to date with progress during negotiations. She even provided a ladder for our builder’s report - now that’s going the extra mile!

Karan and her team  handled with hard work and dedication  the sale of our Twizel House.

Karan and her team handled with hard work and dedication the sale of our Twizel House.

Karan and her team at LJ Hooker Twizel recently handled the marketing and subsequent sale of our house in Twizel. Being an absentee owner, the whole process was extremely stress free for us, it was handled very efficiently and professionally. It has been an absolute pleasure working with Karan and her colleagues and have them achieve a fantastic result for us. We would highly recommend LJ Hooker Twizel.
