About us

A house becomes a home when there’s family inside. You know that family member you turn to that is a lawyer, or is a doctor, or knows their tech to fix your computer?

We are the real estate family you can turn to when you need us most to go the extra mile. The JKL family is the real estate team that has been committed to our community for more than 25 years. So just like family, we’re here to build long-term relationships. John and Karen Hoswell founded JKL in 1996 as independent agents our customers got to know and left a great legacy for our JKL brand. Their daughter, Lauren and partner Daniel have since continued the JKL experience our community turns to. Leading our team to carry on thriving as specialist leaders of real estate sales and property management. Our team has grown into a family of its own. Setting the standard for an exceptional experience driven by market knowledge and attentive service that is delivering “wow’s” at every turn.

Professional responsive a good communicator

Jack was fantastic to deal with from start to finish. He was professional, responsive, and genuinely easy to talk to throughout the whole process — always available to answer questions and kept me well informed at every stage. His knowledge of the local market was clear, and he handled everything with honesty and care. I'd happily recommend Jack to anyone looking for a real estate agent who actually puts in the effort for their clients.

Excellent communication 24/7

Erin has been the best real estate agent that we have dealt with in this town. We tried a few others and most didn’t get back to us. Erin answered every call, made the whole process easy on our end and has a great knowledge of the local market. Very impressed and will definitely be using Erin again. 😁

Commitment, integrity and a great work ethic.

I highly recommend Jack to anyone looking for a local agent in Tuncurry. He kept in close contact with me throughout the marketing campaign and gave honest advice all along the way. He stayed committed to achieving the best result we could despite the changing circumstances of the market during the process. Jack managed to negotiate a good price for us and I was impressed with his integrity and professionalism throughout. Thanks again to Jack and the JKL team for making a stressful time a bit easier.

Professionalism with Excellent Communication

It has been an absolute pleasure to engage Alex & his team from JKL to sell our home Everything from the initial meeting, through to the sale closure, has been handled in a very professional manner - nothing ever phased Alex. Alex always maintained a cool, positive, honest attitude with a timely manner, always with a smile on his face, even though our sale took sometime to occur. We would thoroughly recommend Alex to any prospective vendors & purchasers. One again, a huge thankyou Alex
