Helpful & Well Informed

I’ve called on Paul’s expertise twice over the last 18 months. In both instance's I’ve found him to be very professional & helpful in understanding & navigating the market. The first instance was a recent subdivision & after testing the market I decided to withdraw. The second property was my mother’s, as she had gone into care. Anyone that has gone through this process knows that it is a time of mixed emotions for all involved so diplomacy & communication is extremely important. This is where Paul’s experience & professionalism shone through. Despite a difficult market & the usual opportunist, he secured a buyer within expectations & the transaction progressed smoothly. I am more than happy to recommend Paul to anyone selling or even buying.

Paul is excellent. We had used Paul, three years ago, to sell our family home with outstanding results, so it was a no brainer to choose to entrust him again with our second. house. As previously, he read the market spot on, with a very satisfactory result. We enjoy Paul’s gentle working manner.

Experienced, knowledgeable and professional at all times. Outstanding!!!

Paul was highly recommended to us by a trusted agent from another town. His vast experience and knowledge, guided us through the whole process of planning the best method to sell our house. This was only the second house that we have ever sold in 44 years but Paul made us feel very confident, at all stages. Everything went to plan, achieving an excellent result for all involved. He went out of his way to keep us very well informed throughout the whole process. The whole L.J. Hooker Team were so professional and are at the "top of their game".

Excellent knowledge, service and communication

I contacted Paul to sell my property as he has recently sold a similar property in the same street which was on the market for a relatively short time. He also sold my property quickly using a deadline sale which resulted in multiple offers. His knowledge and communication exceeded my expectations. I have no hesitation in recommending Paul.

Experienced, straightforward and effective

Paul has a well deserved reputation as the experienced view of the housing market on the Otago Peninsula. His in-depth understanding and straightforward approach meant clarity of expectation from the outset. Paul's advice on preparation for sale was excellent. He laid out options for the sales process, advising and guiding but always respecting my view and preference. He kept me fully informed, with feedback from open homes days, and I felt confident in his approach. His follow-up of interested parties was meticulous and professional, and he worked hard to achieve a good outcome on my behalf. With his open, friendly approach, he is easy to do business with. Recommended.
