Testimonials

I am so thankful for the time and effort put in by them

I used these guys while looking for a rental property to call home. I was in the position of needing a home that would allow pets, which left my options slim. Renee and the team took the time to show me potential properties and also gave me a call whenever there was an opportunity for a new rental that suited my needs. I am so thankful for the time and effort put in by them. A great team who cares.

hand over the keys and responsibility took a whole lot of stress away

Renee and the team at LJ Hooker Dunedin Property Management have been great to work with. We were moving in a hurry and they were able to come on board and help us sort a lot of things out including some final maintenance needed and getting things done for healthy homes. Being able to hand over the keys and responsibility took a whole lot of stress away when we had other things to think about.

An excellent Investment specialist and we put our full trust in her

Over the last two years, Renee has been a great and wonderful person to work with. She has been very helpful in her advice and she always does her best to look after our houses. She is an excellent Investment specialist and we put our full trust in her. Thanks
