Testimonials

Exceptional Sale with Graeme at LJ Hooker!

Deanne

Exceptional Sale with Graeme at L J Hooker! I listed and sold my House with Graeme Downes. Graeme went way above my expectations in making sure what worked and was best for me. He made sure that I had a clear knowledge and understanding of what was happening and kept me constantly informed. I was very impressed and would highly recommend Graeme to any seller or purchaser.

We are very happy with the result.

Trish

Awesome service and communication! Listing our property with Graeme and achieving a sale in a set time frame was a simple and hassle free experience. Graeme communicated with us every step of the way and kept us fully informed and I have no hesitation in recommending him to other potential clients. We are very happy with the result. This is the second property Graeme has sold for us and both sales have achieved the desired outcome.

He kept us very well informed of feedback received

Graeme & Sue

Graeme did a great job selling our Mosgiel Property for us! Graeme knew and understood the Mosgiel market being a resident and having lived in the community for many years. He had a very good understanding of the value of the property and what we could expect as a price. He kept us very well informed of feedback received from potential purchasers. We would recommend Graeme as an Agent for anyone wanting to sell their property in the Mosgiel Taieri Area.

Outstanding local knowledge of the area.

Having just received an unconditional offer on our property, we wanted to express our thanks. Graeme was a delight to work with. Efficient, helpful and friendly, extremely professional but also made time to socialise. He understood the market and taking his advice we obtained several offers, exceeding our expectations. He kept us informed throughout the process. Even now he is offering us help and advice all though the sale has been received. We would recommend Graeme and the LJ Hooker team.

The Mearns Family

We were recently faced with the challenge of having to sell our mother's Mosgiel home following her recent move into a care facility. Not being from Mosgiel, we acted on the recommendation of friends and appointed Graeme Downes of L J Hooker to act on our behalf as the selling agent. We were so pleased we did. Graeme's approach was personal, friendly and very professional. He outlined the current market conditions and indicated to us the outcomes that he hoped to achieve. He proceeded to prepare a marketing plan for our approval, and set in place an expected timeframe for a sale. At all times Graeme kept us fully informed and updated with open home attendances and viewings by potential buyers. The end result, by far, exceeded our expectations. Not only in the short timeframe to achieve a sale, but also in the sale price achieved. We, the family, are all grateful for Graeme's expertise, his personal approach, and his professionalism. We would have no hesitation in recommending him to prospective property buyers or sellers.
