Buying a home can feel overwhelming - but not when you have the right person guiding you. I recently purchased my home through Ben Groundwater - LJH Timaru, and the experience was outstanding. From day one, Ben made the process smooth and stress-free. He was proactive, clear in his communication, and always available to answer questions - no matter how small. What really stood out was his ability to keep everything calm and on track, even when things got a little hectic. If you’re looking for a real estate agent who combines market knowledge with genuine care for his clients, I highly recommend Ben. Thanks again, Ben, for making this such a positive experience!

We found Ben to be incredibly passionate about real estate and genuinely committed to helping us through the whole process of selling our property. His knowledge of the market was spot on, and he guided us with honesty and care every step of the way. What could have been a stressful experience turned out to be smooth and comfortable thanks to his support. We’re very grateful for everything Ben and the LJ Hooker team did for us, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone wanting to buy or sell their home.

Ben was very friendly and made sure I was well informed. His team was very good at communicating with me throughout the sales process.

ben has been outstanding in our dealings with him in the sale of my fathers house and property. If I find myself wanting to buy or sell again we'll be going with Ben.

I found Ben and staff did an excellent job marketing and communicating all the time .not a easy house to sell but they well done team

Ben is a down to earth and easy to deal with agent. He accurately assessed the market value of our property, which the initial offer was. However with a multitude of offers we achieved more than expected.

Ben knew a lot about how everything works. Being a first home buyer that really made confident in the experience. He was very helpful through the whole thing and was happy to answer any and all of my questions . He made my experience enjoyable and as easy as possible guiding me through it.

We found Ben to be knowledgeable and pretty easy to communicate regarding our sale and purchase. Highly recommend him.

We had a fantastic experience working with Ben Groundwater and his team on the sale of our home. From the very beginning, Ben was hands-on, approachable, and fully engaged. He really took the time to understand our vision for the sale and offered valuable advice—especially during the early stages when we were feeling a bit uncertain. Selling a home is such a personal and emotional journey, and Ben truly supported us every step of the way. His regular updates after each open home helped us stay informed, focused, and aware of what the market was telling us. We always felt like we were in capable hands. We’re incredibly grateful for Ben’s expertise, warmth, and professionalism throughout the process, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to others.

Ben was great to deal with and the communucation was good he was always happy to help with any questions and concerns we had at the time cheers again ben for all your help 👊

communication skills are great! they kept me informed at every step of the process and were always available to answer my questions, no matter how small

It is with great pleasure that I write this review of Ben and his work, with regard the sale of our family home. From my first meeting with Ben, he showed himself to be genuine, professional and helpful in all respects. His presentation at our first meeting was informative, comprehensive and relaxed, and he was the shining light in the group of 5 agents we had asked for an appraisal. During the sale process, his manner and personality, and ability to, at times, work around us, validated our decision to work with him, and gave us a wonderful perspective, as to how any potential buyer may be feeling on their side of the process. And so Ben, my hat is off to you, you handled yourself in a way that any seller/buyer would find extremely pleasing, and we can't thank you enough....
