I really enjoyed working with Nic and would work with her again. My house took over a year to sell but she never gave up! I liked that the whole company got on board and I got to deal with many of the team and they were all lovely
After having our house on the market last year with a different agency and not getting the result we were hoping for, working with Nic was a completely different experience. We'd already moved away from Timaru and were renting the house out, so everything was done over the phone, text and Messenger. We never actually met in person, but that didn't matter. Nic kept us updated the whole way through and was always easy to get hold of. Part way through the process our tenants needed to move out urgently. It could have been a really stressful situation, but Nic worked closely with both them and us to make sure everything went as smoothly as possible. We really appreciated how she handled it and kept everyone informed. When we received multiple offers, I honestly went around in circles trying to decide what to do. Nic was amazing through it all. She never told me which offer to accept or tried to sway my decision. Instead, she listened while I talked it through (more than once!), answered all my questions, and helped me work through the pros and cons until I felt comfortable making the decision myself. I never felt pressured, which meant a lot. Nic is genuine, honest and incredibly easy to deal with. After our experience trying to sell the year before, she restored our confidence and made the whole process so much less stressful. We couldn't be happier with the result and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nic to anyone looking to sell their home. Thanks again, Nic, for all your hard work – we really appreciate everything you did for us.
Honest agent. Gave advice willingly and wasn't pushy to get it listed before we were ready. Listens to clients, and explains how she would market the property for best result. Knows her stuff. She was bang on her appraisal.
Jeremy was highly knowledgeable about any questions I had about the house and buying process
Great communication, always available, performance is above and beyond, one step ahead.
Always available, always knowledgeable, always reassuring. We were referred by a dear friend. Many local resources...the sale went through so quickly it even surprise Leanne! No problems, no glitches.

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!

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.
