Stephen and his team were exceptional from the start of our first selling experience by being completely transparent, offering advice and suggestions to assist in the sale of the property and most importantly a wonderful approach and respect for us as sellers. The marketing was excellent and provided strong results. We found that Stephen really excelled on auction day pursuing the best price for his clients at all costs. We are forever grateful for the care and perseverance that was put into getting a good result for us on auction day. Thank you once again for making the selling process as stress free as possible.

Had a wonderful experience buying a property managed by stephen and Adanna. Both were extremely communicative and honest, leading to a smooth transaction. Looking forward to dealing with them again in the future.

Excellent professionalism, knowledge and advice given by a very dedicated team. As well, not being a Canberra resident I was given very helpful advice and assistance in preparing our property for sale. We were very pleased with the price Samuel negotiated for our property. I highly recommend this agent in all areas of real estate.

We engaged Stephen to sell our house in Deakin ACT in Apr 2023. This was despite a cooling house market and a desire to build on the south coast. Our house had been rented for the previous three and a half years, and our tenants had recently vacated. Stephen provided one of three proposals we obtained. He wasn’t the cheapest, and he had quoted for the highest amount of commission of the three. However, we selected Stephen and his team due to his quiet and understated confidence, a feeling of instinctive trust, his demonstrated professional knowledge and understanding of the housing in our area, and his personable and honest demeanour. The outcome for us was well above the market assessed price at the time, and significantly above our reserve price. We had also encountered a number of unexpected complications that required resolution to prepare for sale. These are the highlights of working with him for the sale: - His recommendation to sell by auction - His professional excellence and skill in personally conducting the auction - He listened to our preferred reserve price and then provided valued and clear advice on what to actually set for the reserve - Unfailingly sage advice, that was timely, and helped remove complexity (particularly for engineering approvals and house repairs) - Transparency and thoroughness throughout the process - He went above and beyond a normal agents role to assist us (we resided remotely on the south coast and Stephen and his team represented us and coordinated engagements on our behalf to prepare the property) - He clearly advised the highest priorities for our action to prepare the property - Always explained when he didn’t have an answer and then sought additional expert advice. We could not be happier with the result and thank Stephen and his team for the excellence they displayed in helping and enabling the sale of our house. We have no hesitation in personally recommending Stephen and the LJ Hooker team with the utmost confidence.

We can't rate Samuel highly enough. We had to sell our property quickly after upsizing to fit our family, amid sky rocketing interest rates. He worked with us to assess the market, put together the right advertising campaign combined with the right price. After two open houses and just over a week on the market, we had the offer we were looking for at the price we'd advertised for. Thanks Samuel!

I would thoroughly recommend Samuel Thompson of LJ Hooker Manuka if you are looking to sell. Throughout the process Samuel was honest and professional with impeccable communication skills, keeping me up to date along the way. Samuel was honest about the market and competition, and we achieved a great result in a very quick timeframe. The marketing of my property was fantastic. Open houses were a breeze with Samuel and his team being timely, organised and flexible to suit me. I have sold other properties in the past with different agents and Samuel is by far the best, and I would definitely use him again.

Stephen is a great real estate agent. His wealth of experience is reflected through his straightforward communication and deep knowledge of the market. He was professional throughout our engagement and helped both the seller and myself efficiently arrive at a great outcome.

Outstanding service from Steve and the team -again for me. Can’t fault their professionalism and genuine desire to do the best for you. I can’t recommend Steve enough. Do yourself a favour and at least chat with Steve first about your real estate needs. In a very difficult market smashed by excessive interest rates, Steve brokered a great sale. Sale price was below what I expected but above the market price at the time.

Stephen was really open, friendly, honest and easy to deal with from the onset. He was frank and communicated regularly to ensure we were kept up to date. He negotiated with buyers on our behalf to maximise our return and keep all parties happy. He took care of all the logistics and was quick to respond. Would highly recommend him as an agent to other sellers.

I had a great pleasure having Stephen as my agent on selling the properties. Stephen performed in an extremely professional way in my matter. He always communicated clearly and timely to keep me in the loop of progress. He provided effective solutions to any problems popped up during the sales process. I really appreciate that he kept what he promised even though the sale happened a while after our agreement. Stephen also guided me on how to be strategic in the sale. No matter what complexities involved in my case, Stephen was always patient in listening and helpful in solving the issues. From beginning to end, Stephen was always transparent, genuine, fair and responsible. Stephen is definitely someone you can trust and rely on for your properties.
