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.
We would have no qualms in recommending Shayne. He is both knowledgeable and professional in all aspects.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an absolutely outstanding experience working with Anja on the purchase of our home. From start to finish, she was professional, approachable, and incredibly supportive. Her communication was always clear and timely, and she went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly through every stage of the process. Anja’s knowledge and attention to detail gave us complete confidence, and her warm, friendly manner made what could have been a stressful experience truly enjoyable. We’re so grateful for her dedication and genuine care — she made us feel more like friends than clients. We couldn’t recommend Anja highly enough to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you, Anja, for helping us make this next chapter possible!

I’m so grateful for the outstanding service I received from Shey. From the very beginning, she was professional, kind, and genuinely listened to my needs. She went above and beyond to help me find the perfect home, making the entire process easy and enjoyable. Her communication was excellent – always clear, timely, and reassuring. She not only guided me through every step but also took care of organising the builder and the builder’s report, which made things so much simpler and stress-free. I truly appreciated her dedication, warmth, and professionalism throughout. Thanks to her, what could have been a daunting process turned into a really positive experience. I couldn’t recommend Shey highly enough!

The RateMyAgent Experience
Every verified review on RateMyAgent is linked to a specific property transaction, ensuring that the feedback comes from real buyers and sellers. This also allows you to view key property details - such as location and number of bedrooms - so you can find reviews relevant to your own real estate journey. With our verification process, you can trust that the experiences shared are real, reliable, and helpful.
Integrity is at the core of what we do. We conduct rigorous daily integrity checks on all reviews, using multi-stage verification to analyse submission data and behavioural patterns for potential anomalies. Suspicious reviews may be rejected outright or escalated for further scrutiny by our internal team.
Transparency and fairness are core to how RateMyAgent works. While it’s sometimes assumed that only positive reviews appear on our platform, that’s not the case.
Only clients involved in an actual transaction with an agent can leave a review. This helps ensure authenticity and prevents fake or anonymous feedback. Agent's have no control over what’s written - every review, whether positive or critical, is published and remains visible.
Through verified reviews and price satisfaction insights, we highlight top-performing agents who consistently exceed client expectations. All agents can request and collect reviews for free, and subscription status has no impact on rankings or award eligibility. Our Agent of the Year Awards and platform rankings are based solely on verified client feedback and performance. By celebrating excellence fairly and transparently, we help consumers find the best agents with confidence.
