Excellent service and support throughout the entire sale process

The sale of this unique property occurred within a tight time frame. Although the sale took place in a difficult market, Paul was able to achieve a very good result for us. Paul's extensive experience and knowledge of the local area were key factors that lead to a very successful outcome. We were kept well informed of all developments at all times. He gave very good advice and provided a sound rationale for his recommendations. His honest and realistic approach was greatly appreciated.

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.

Paul has high morals and principles and it is evident in the way he practices in real estate.

Paul has an up to date knowledge of the market and gives a realistic picture of what a property is worth in the current climate. He assists in getting the property ready for sale.. Paul communicates by phone after each open home and on many other occasions during the sale and into the moving time. He listens to the vendor. I have recommended Paul to many of my friends and contacts.

Paul is a trustworthy agent that will not mislead .

Paul has good market knowledge and experience. Friendly and polite with both vendor and seller. Paul never compromises the truth which is a refreshing change from sales people using beguilement and charm, which is so often found in sales people.

Fantastic result achieved by Paul

Paul brings a wealth of knowledge and experience with him as he has been in the industry a long time. He always conducts himself in a very professional manner and has exceptional people skills. He is honest and trustworthy. I took his advice and decided on an auction campaign and was very pleased it sold under the hammer on auction night. They have a great team there. Even under very sad circumstances of his dad passing away two days before the auction, his work colleagues gathered around him and Paul who had to fly up to Tauranga for the funeral still kept in touch with me. This showed a great deal of strength and dedication. I have no hesitation in recommending Paul to others. You won't find a nicer person to deal with.

We asked Paul to sell our deceased mothers home and it was such a pleasure dealing with Paul. He was spot on with estimating value, and excellent at guiding us through the whole process of auctioning with ease. From helpful advice on presentation to weekly reports and rest assurance between family members, keeping the process seamless. Paul and Jason, the auctioneer also lead us through the auction day plan with calm and clarity and I couldn’t speak more highly of them both. Thank you, Paul and LJ Hookers very satisfied customers.

Selling 4 Barling Street, Macandrew Bay

From the time we listed our home in Macandrew Bay with Paul, we were very impressed with his knowledge of the market at that time and keeping us fully informed of the process of marketing, selling our house in a very professional manner. Paul recognized that we were apprehensive and kept us fully informed during that time. It was a pleasure having Paul as our agent and we have no hesitation in recommending him to anybody.
