Bernard did a fantastic job selling our house. Throughout the process he demonstrated both his deep knowledge of the property market in our area and his consummate marketing and negotiating skills. He and his assistant Kieran kept us fully informed at all times about the level of interest in our house and the status of various potential buyers. He provided wise advice on a range of issues, including pricing discussions with interested parties and whether to sell prior to auction. At a personal level, he was always a pleasure to deal with and thoroughly professional. We will certainly use him again if the opportunity arises and we have already recommended him to other friends looking to downsize.

Bernard achieved a remarkable result for the sale of my Apartment. After only 2 public viewings he achieved a record price and deserves all the credit. His negotiations skills are exemplary. I also received the utmost courtesy from Bernard and his assistant, Kieran Axtens. It will be my extreme pleasure to recommend Bernard Ryan to any potential purchaser in future. I wish Bernard and his team great success in the future.

We decided to downsize from a much loved house with some degree of anxiety and reluctance. We interviewed a number of agents and selected Bernard. At all times he treated us and our home with respect and did not question our need for privacy even while the property was marketed. His attention to detail is exceptional as is his ability to anticipate and deal with the unexpected. We believe Bernard did his very best to make a challenging life event as hassle free as possible and we are grateful to him and his associate ,Kieran, for that.

Bernard achieved a great result for us and was the total professional from start to finish. We would not hesitate to recommend Bernard and are very happy to discuss further if you have any queries. Regards John and Mary-Jane

Bernard's market knowledge of the Neutral Bay area is outstanding. He impressed us as an agent who genuinely acts in the best interests of his vendors, showing great care and respect for their home. Bernard demonstrated a thorough understanding of the details and history of the property. As purchasers, we found Bernard's communication to be timely, complete and reliable. We would recommend Bernard for consideration by future vendors.

Bernard made the potentially daunting process of selling a property very easy. The calm, measured approach was much appreciated. I wouldn't hesitate to call Bernard next time I need the services or advice of a real estate agent.

When choosing among the agents I wanted to represent this property Bernard and his team stood out from the crowd for professionalism, knowledge and focus. The choice of Bernard was totally vindicated as the sale was extremely well managed, his advice was always spot on and he achieved a sale price that was more than our expectation. I would recommend Bernard and his team without reservation.

We found Bernard and Cameron prepared, professional and knowledgable in their original pitch and subsequent management of our sale campaign. Importantly we felt they acted in our best interest as vendors which made it easy to consider their advice when it was required.

Bernard was very professional, responsive and competent throughout the process of selling. Clearly Hookers are a well oiled machine but the people make it work and Bernard, Geoff and Kieran were very good to work with.

Through members of the local community, I have been aware of Bernard's reputation as a trustworthy real estate agent for a number of years. During the last year I have been a prospective buyer for properties where Bernard was the Selling Agent. His personable approach and credibility, along with excellent communication and negotiating skills stood out from other agents I encountered. When the time came for me to list my property, I did not hesitate in selecting Bernard as my agent. His professional advice and encouragement leading up to the marketing campaign helped me through a stressful period. During the marketing campaign, he kept me fully up to date and his calm and professional manner gave me confidence that I would get the best price possible for my much loved home. His team from L J Hooker were also extremely professional and supportive. I do not hesitate in giving Bernard and his team my highest recommendation. M. Gibson, Cremorne

Bernard and Lesley were really great throughout. They kept us up to date on what was happening and were knowledgeable about the property and the local area. I would certainly recommend them both if I were either buying or selling a property in the lower north shore.

Having been through this process on many occasions, it was nice to see the market work with us for a change and to work with people you know and trust to achieve the outcome you wanted. Thanks Bernard and Leslie.
