John and his team at LJ Hooker were outstanding. We would recommend John to any vendor without hesitation. He is truly the vendor's agent. His advice in how to run our campaign, his constant and thorough feedback and support were all exceptional. His recommended trades all did a remarkable job in very limited time. Thanks to John and his team we achieved an incredible result- way beyond anything we anticipated. We have used John previously and would never consider using anyone else. We have dealt with many agents over the years and none have come close to providing the service that John did.

John Hits a Home Run

John and his team preformed equal to and above my expectations. He kept me informed at every stage of the sales process which resulted in new records set for the Artarmon area. I would recommend John and his team to anyone considering selling in the Artarmon / Willoughby area.

When it was time to sell our home in Chatswood 3 years ago John was the first and only agent I called. His knowledge of the area is second to none and he knows what his buyers are looking for. Our property was on a busy road and that fact alone would put some people off however John brought the right people through and our property sold very quickly. When I found 21A onyx Rd, Artarmon I felt reassured that John was the selling agent. In a nutshell John does exactly what he says he's going to do. He and his wonderful team take much of the stress out of both buying and selling. We are really happy in our new home.

We would like to thank John, Carlos and the rest of the team at L J Hooker for everything they did to achieve the sale of our home at 17 Cooney Road, Artarmon in July 2016. Having lived in the property for twenty years, moving was a huge event for us and we were extremely happy with the service and support we received throughout the entire process, from preparing the house for sale through to achieving the sale price we wanted. LJH organised an excellent marketing campaign, including securing a two page feature as ‘House of the Week’ in the Sydney Morning Herald’s Domain and a ‘state of the art’ 3D walk through tour of the house for the web site. We were also very pleased that we engaged the Stylist recommended by John and have no doubt this led to a higher sale price than we would have otherwise achieved. John spoke with us almost every day through the sales campaign and was always open and honest about his expectations of prospective purchasers. There is no doubt that John is an exceptional negotiator and we always felt he was 100 % on our side in wanting to achieve the best result possible, encouraging us to stand firm on hold our nerve when necessary! I would have no hesitation in recommending John and his team to anyone selling a home in Artarmon. You will not find better!

Happy Ending to New beginnings

Due to circumstances regarding our mother, we had to sell her property. We had John in the past where he sold 2 of our properties in the Willoughby area at a great price. Without hesitation, we called John to share our emotional journey of selling mum's home. John was the best and also very understanding regarding our situation. He was very professional and always updating the progress of tracking potential buyers. I highly recommend John as his knowledge of the market is realistic without giving false hope to unachievable result. To our delight we were extremely happy with mum's outcome of her property sale price. She is now set and a big thank you John and to your team for inputing all your recommendations for best outcome.

From the first meeting, John was the definition of professional. He said "I get selling your biggest asset", and backed up the words by the care he showed. He didn't refer to "potential buyers", he called them by name. The weekly updates were fascinating; the updates after each open house, illuminating as to our actual progress. When it got to the pointy end of the sale campaign he gave sufficient information to enable us to make truly informed decisions. While I teust d his advice, he clearly let us know we were still in charge of what was happening. I have already and will continue to recommend John. One of the stoniest assist he has and uses, is his remarkable team. They were equally as professional. Nothing was too much trouble. Most importantly, my emails and phone calls were still returned after we Exchanged. It ended with me feeling everyone won, from us to the new owner, to John and his team as they had pride in a job well done. Elizabeth

I could not rate John McManus and team highly enough. We were treated with respect and thoughtfulness, together with a big dose of encouragement, to cope with a very "out of the ordinary" experience. At all times John explained the process, breaking it down into achievable steps, and was available for support when needed. The team at L J Hooker was also amazing. Thank you John and team.
