Patrick was a professional and skilled agent that I had the fortune to buy from. He was very fast to respond and up front. All communication was straight forward and it made the complex process of buying a property that much easier.
From the outset, with a requested appraisal of a property it was clear Patrick was fully conversant with all values and properties across the region. Straight forward and with sound advice to support his appraisal I had no hesitation in selecting him as the selling agent. His advice during the whole process of selling has always been timely, balanced and well considered. His advice to auction, as opposed to selling for a set price, saw very considerable return well above that which would otherwise have been achieved. This reflected his astute read of the current market and the likelihood of an outstanding result. His communication with me and my solicitor have been outstanding and timely throughout the whole lead up to to the auction and following it. It was clear to me he had my best interests at all stages of the process. I would highly recommend him. He knows Real estate.
At inception of the engagement, Patrick took the time to prepare a fully customised proposal (based on phone conversations we had) rather than passing on a standard brochure. "He had me at Hello!!" Customer Service Patrick was patient while it took more than 3 months for the tenant of my investment property to vacate and for me to complete significant amount of remediation works. He went above and beyond in arranging & coordinating the trade-professionals while I remained stuck in Sydney lockdown! While I noted through the LJ Hooker newsletter Patrick taking to auction million dollar properties, at no point in time I felt I was de-prioritised as an owner of a small 2 bed apartment. Empathy is important. He showed this not only to me but also during selection of the buyer and towards the buyer. Results and Outcome Patrick sold my 2 bedroom apartment significantly above the valuation figure from 12 months ago. Way above our agreed target price. Well above last sale in the area. This was done over a span of 1 week from market launch while ACT went under lockdown and while everyone adapted to new ways of working. Patick is a trusted advisor, strong mediator and an excellent negotiator.
My purchase was done during a COVID lockdown but despite the challenging circumstances everything went really well and I was kept informed all the way. All of the details were handled well and the whole process was done well.
Pat managed our expectations from day one until settlement. He managed to achieve a higher price than we expected because we followed his advice on how and when to present our property. Pat's integrity in his dealings with us was appreciated and we happily refer him to any future clients.
Patrick was absolute helpful professional who gave us good advises while processing this long journey. I was so pleasure working with him, I definitely recommend him to other people.
Patrick has been right beside us from original purchase through to selling. He has always offered good advice on reaching optimal sale price of our home, and proven to be an asset during the unknown times of lockdown. Would thoroughly recommend Patrick to anyone that is thinking of selling
Patrick kept me informed on the expectations of the seller and clearly communicated the needs to get the sale completed. He also went the extra mile in coordinating the early occupation and dropping the keys to me.
This was the second time Patrick has been able to assist us with our property sale and it has been a seamless experience. Patrick is very knowledgeable in the Canberra market and has looked after our needs first and foremost. Thank you Patrick!
Very happy with the level of service from Patrick and the LJ Hooker team for my recent purchase. Patrick made the process of purchasing my first property a very positive and smooth experience.
From our first meeting, obtaining an appraisal from Patrick, the experience of selling my home was smooth and easy. Patrick was keen to assist me in selling my property and managed all aspects of the sales process. He kept me informed throughout, and was easily accessible - always making the time to speak with me. Patrick always treated me as a valued client, and was appreciative of the efforts I made to make my home appealing to potential buyers. I was very happy with the outcome of the auction/sale.
I selected Patrick to sell my unit as he had recently sold another unit in the complex. His knowledge of the complex and local area ensured buyers were well informed. Patrick marketed the property to attract potential buyers from both Canberra and interstate. He was fully committed to showing the property on demand, which ensured maximum exposure for buyers. Buyers were also well informed of the target price range, which resulted in a very successful auction day. If you want a no fuss, competent agent, Patrick is your guy.
