Ben has an excellent 'bed-side manner'. Knowledgeable but not over bearing.

Ben has an excellent 'bed-side manner'. Knowledgeable but not over bearing.

Has a broad knowledge of what the market is doing and was very accurate with where he predicted prices would be come offers/selling time. Easy going but professional. Clear with ideas on how to market the property but not pushy. Listens to other people and doesn't like the sound of his own voice like some we have come across. Down to earth and generally a nice guy who sells real estate as a vocation not a money earning job.

We were very fortunate to have had Ben and Harry to sell our house . Right from the start Ben gave us the confidence to sell with L.J Hooker . Through Bens knowledge and his marketing skills we were able to achieve a better result . Ben and Harry's communication skills kept us well informed through out the whole process. They accommodated our needs with open homes and viewings . Would be very happy to recommend. Thanks heaps

A process that started pre-Covid that stretched out several months due to Covid and dealing with tenancy challenges. We were kept informed throughout the process and Ben's persistence and professionalism through this challenging time got the deal over the line. Thanks Ben

Highly recommend Ben and Harry for their local knowledge of the market, and their quick and incredibly efficient work. Ben explained everything clearly and was excellent to deal with from beginning to beyond the signing on the dotted line.

I had a great experience as the buyer dealing with Ben who was acting for the vendor. He gave timely responses to queries and was both extremely professional and helpful during the negotiation period. He acted well above expectation and made the process much easier.

Ben has been our agent for both the sale and purchase of two properties in Timaru. His personalised service and ability to ease a sometimes stressful process is truly faultless. He is dedicated to great client outcomes and will go above and beyond your expectations.

Ben's market knowledge in both spoken & written form was excellent. Communication was also a pleasure. Harry was also a joy to work with. Professionalism was important and was attended to with excellent results. Many thanks Ben & Harry for your help. I wish you both all the best for the future.

Ben has been great to work with,

Throughout the process of selling he has always been approachable, easy to deal with and kept us well informed. During the appraisal process he was the only agent that took the time to sit down on the day of the appraisal and go over the information about our property with us. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ben as an agent and would definitely work with him in the future again.

Quicksale for the win

Thought my house was going to be on the market for awhile however Ben had it sold with some help from the team at lj hooker within a month. Ben has a very sound knowledge of the market and was very easy to deal with, also took most of the stress of selling away. Would use again and highly recommend to others.

sale of mums estate

Ben made the process of selling my late mothers house so easy. This was an emotional time for myself and my brother . Ben was extremely professional and empathetic to our situation. He not only fetched us an exceptional price for the property but he showed respect to my mothers memory throughout the process. I can not thank him enough for this, and would not hesitate to recommend Ben. He went above and beyond and always fitted meetings around us. The house house sold extremely quickly . Thank you.
