We worked with Ben on the purchase of our second home and he was lovely to work with. He was flexible with viewings, helped us get things done fast and was there for any questions etc we had.

Mostly good. Had good knowledge of what they were doing and gave good advice. Found good buyers.

Ben and the Team at LJ Hooker made the experience exceptional, from start to finish. Communication was clear and timely, everything was handled professionally, and the entire process felt smooth and stress-free. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to manage the sale of our property

We recently sold our house with the help of Ben and Joelle, and we couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From the very first meeting right through to settlement, Ben and Joelle were professional, transparent, and genuinely committed to achieving the best possible result. They provided clear communication at every step, kept us fully informed throughout the campaign, and made what could have been a stressful process feel straightforward and well-managed. Their market knowledge, attention to detail, and confident approach gave us real peace of mind. The result they achieved exceeded our expectations, and the service they delivered was exceptional. We highly recommend Ben and Joelle to anyone looking to buy or sell, they truly went above and beyond. Thanks again for the outstanding work!

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.
