After attempting to sell our family home on a previous occasion with no success, we were thrilled to meet Shane Broekman from LJ Hooker Frenchs Forest. Shane was very good at defining the 'core value proposition' for our family home, highlighting all the great aspects of our property that we could not articulate. Shane has an in-depth local knowledge having lived in the area all his life. Shane's awareness of the property market is exceptional. Shane recommended for us to go to Auction with a reserve price that met our expectations. While preparing for our first showing, Shane organised his photographer to create the most beautiful photographs of the property. We also had some maintenance items that needed completing. Shane recommended some trades people to complete these items. Their speed, quality of work & value for money was very good, with no stress being placed on us. In my role co-ordinating the sale of our family home, I really liked Shane is reliable and follow through with what he says. I'd finish a phone call with Shane, and know everything we agreed on would get completed. This gave my great confidence in Shane's ability to sell our property. Shane and his team also coordinated with the tenant renting our family home, as we prepared for the first showing. By the way, Shane enjoys a 100% success rate in selling his properties. I asked if this is at any selling price, thinking I could sell any property if I dropped the price. Shane corrected my thinking, stating that his 100% sale success rate is "above the agreed selling price". On the first weekend showing the family home, we had 25 guests, 5 contracts taken...by the end of the first week we had 1 confirmed buyer which gave as a very good offer over the reserve auction price. We decided to sell before going to auction. The deal was done. I highly recommend Shane if your looking for an agent to sell your property.

Buying a home is always an anxious time. Shane's knowledge of the area and the market, together with his great communication skills, made the buying process easier for us. Shane was a pleasure to deal with, and we believe this would be the case as either a buyer or seller. Thanks Shane!

Many thanks to you for your effort in making the sale of my property so successful. You are always so courteous, reliable and punctual and provided helpful advice when needed. I wish you well in the future and would recommend you to any seller of real estate.

Shane was recommended to us by an agent from another area (and Agency by the way). From our first meeting we were impressed with Shane's knowledge, confidence and ability to communicate clearly and honestly. He made it clear that he would always be upfront with us, which he was and the result we received was outstanding. Shane loves what he does and it shows. He has an unending supply of energy and enthusiasm! You can tell he is motivated by striving to achieve the best result for his client. We were confident through the whole process that we had selected the right agent for us. Selling a home will always come with stress, however if you have an Agent you know has integrity and is totally competent it will be so much easier! Thank you Shane, we have no hesitation in recommending you. Adam, Liz and family

From the first open Shane came across as friendly and genuine which you could say of many agents, but he backed it up with a straightforward approach to negotiation which saw a deal struck quickly with minimum fuss. His communications proved reliable which really inspired confidence and demonstrated his honesty. Highly recommended.

I recently had the pleasure of engaging Shane Broekman, L J Hooker Frenchs Forest, to manage the sale of my home in Belrose. Shane's experience, expertise and knowledge of the current local real estate market was obvious from our first meeting and his professional, courteous and friendly manner was very reassuring. His guidance and communication during the sales process was invaluable. I have no doubt Shane's dedication, diligence and negotiating skills resulted in the best possible outcome for my property with an outstanding final sale price. I highly recommend Shane Broakman as a trusted sales agent and would not hesitate to deal with him in future.

Shane Broekman and the team at LJ Hooker Frenchs Forest are, without a doubt, the BEST in the area! My husband and I interviewed three different agents to manage the sale of our property. We have no regrets in selecting Shane. We were looking for an honest, reliable, experienced agent with good communication skills and most importantly, that we felt we could trust. Shane delivered on everything. Shane’s communication throughout the entire process was second to none. He managed our expectations at each step with a clear directive of what was happening and what the next steps would be. He was reliable, punctual and always called us back and/or replied promptly. Shane followed up every person who viewed our property and shared a detailed sales report weekly with us, outlining all the feedback. We completely trusted Shane’s professional judgement and were guided by what he thought was best for us at any given point. Shane invested time researching all comparative properties to ours to ensure we were as best prepared as possible. Most importantly, the end result had us popping the French champagne – sold above expectation & before auction! Congrats Shane and the team! You were exceptional!

After discussions with four different agents in the area, we decided to select Shane from LJ Hooker as our agent. He gave us the confidence as someone we could trust, who had strong communication skills and a deep understanding of the current market and what buyers were looking for. Being interstate, we needed someone who was very organised and could manage this sale project efficiently within a set timeframe. Shane has proven that he is the highly skilled professional and project manager we needed. He helped us immensely with the sale process from preparation of the house to the final sale. Throughout this project he always made relevant and effective recommendations. In order to prepare our house for sale, Shane had to organise garden cleanups, fixes/renovations through the house and designing the interior. This required a huge co-ordination effort of various trades people gardeners, painters, interior designers, plumbers and many others. As timing was critical for us, Shane completed this project within a week and got our house ready for inspections. Shane has excellent follow through and was available for us to contact him (day or night, 7 days). He is an outstanding professional, works hard and is motivated to achieve results. He provided us with realistic advice about how to prepare our home for sale and constantly provided us with updates of potential buyers and gave us plenty of feedback. He helped us greatly with price setting and negotiations. Our house sold very quickly. Thank you Shane for your dedication to this project and for everything you have done for us. Your efforts far exceeded our expectations.
