Christina was the perfect Agent for me. She did not come on too forward, yet was available at a moments notice. Though the sale came down to a photo finish, Christina got it over the line, to which I am most appreciative.

People in property market will appreciate great agent like Christina who tirelessly coordinate between vendor and offer maker to come to a balance and I am happy she is one of the agents who walks her talk and won my trust. Personally I will not look around for another agent if I am selling a property on the market. Great agent!

I'm very happy to provide a review for Ryan, and his team. I found Ryan to be absolutely professional in every way during the sales process for my house. His local market knowledge, attention to detail, and communication skills are oustanding. He takes time and trouble, puts in the extra effort, and walks the extra mile. He is creative, focused, and organised - and, he has terrific sales skills, too. I'd also like to make special mention re his broader team. His wife & business partner, Brigitte, is also a consummate professional. The organisation and follow-through on all matters, such as Administration, Marketing & Advertising was second to none. Very high quality - and, again, great attention to detail. Definitely one of the very best in the field, imo.

Marco sold our property for us in Mona Vale during what has proven to be a difficult time for selling. Marco and Olivera presented our home professionally and we were very confident having them show our home. The level of communication received from Marco was excellent. He always keep us up to date with thorough information and was always available to take our call. It was great working with Marco and I would not hesitate to use his services again.

In what turned out to be a difficult negotiation Marco was incredibly helpful and attentive to our needs. He word hard to secure the property for us and I’m very greatful. Thanks Marco 👍

My husband and I found Lachlan extremely helpful during our 12 month search for the right property. He was happy to accommodate our time restrictions regarding house inspections and kept us well informed of the market and then the sales process once our offer had been accepted. His knowledge of the Pittwater area, where we were looking, is excellent and from our experience Lachlan works very hard to satisfy both vendor and buyer. We also enjoyed his company as he has a great sense of humour!

Marco is highly knowledgeable, but down to earth and easy to work with. No BS or hassle. Would highly recommend. Thank you for your help with this transaction Marco!

There's saying in owner land. "Name your price and stick to it. No matter what". I have always been of that belief. Sometimes to my advantage...sometimes not. Ego or self belief? Vendors have this conviction that a high price, protects against buyers who invariably beat you down. Wait long enough and you will get your price. We ignore the reality that in the majority of cases the market determines price. Today's buyers are savvy. They know exactly where the market is. Armed with a smart phone you can tell the entire selling history of a property. Time to market. The latter is the key element. Hang around too long and buyers start asking, why has it taken so long to sell? Is there something wrong?.. The longer you remain unsold the greater the pressure to lower the price. Add on holding costs, mortgage etc and the damage can be significant. Most agents will not tell you this. They want listings and go along with the vendor. By the time they point out the market reality it's too late. Price falls, the vendor looses patience and money. Lachlan Elder, Principal LJ Hookers Monavale, was one of only two agents to outline the facts. Over a coffee he counselled us to meet the market, get on with life. Offers came in and we sold at our new asking price. No haggling. The other mistakes vendors make at their peril, is rapid fire change of agents. Or entering unrealistic, lengthy exclusive agreements with agents who refuse to cojunct. Remember agents are human and can hurt. They can also hit back. Market gossip is damaging to the property's saleability. In the end go with experience, local knowledge and results. High negotiating skills and ability to close the deal. And strong ethics. Ask around. You'll quickly sort out the best. Lachlan Elder never gives up. Ethical, hard working and professional. Ten out of ten.
