5 Stars to Stephen and Team

We highly recommend Stephen and Digby [LJ Hooker Manuka] to anyone looking to sell their property in Canberra. Selling a home in the Canberra market requires real local expertise, and they absolutely delivered. From the very beginning, they made the entire process feel smooth, transparent, and genuinely stress-free. Their knowledge of the market, proactive communication, and clever marketing strategy made all the difference. While selling a property can be incredibly stressful, Stephen and Digby worked tirelessly to bring in qualified buyers and secured the sale. If you want a team that is honest, down-to-earth, and gets successful results, look no further!"

Totally professional - knowledgeable, helpful, prompt and always pleasant.

Totally professional - knowledgeable, helpful, prompt and always pleasant.

Prompt, friendly communication and accurate with market knowledge. Excellent suggestions for trades people and I was very happy with each one. At my request, they also provided a list of solicitors in Canberra to select from and again, I am very happy with that selection. The first deposit was taken within a week of the open house. That did not proceed but Stephen found a second purchaser again within a week. Highly commendable. I have received timely updates on every aspect of the sale, be it prospective purchasers or pre open house procedures. I cannot fault Stephen Thompson and his team at L J Hooker Manuka. I strongly recommend them to any prospective client who values a caring, knowledgeable and helpful approach. I experienced a totally professional team and I am extremely appreciative of their help.

Stephen Thompson is an excellent real estate agent and was enthusiastic and engaged in working with us right from his first visit. Stephen worked through the selling details with patience and care, mindful of our concerns and needs. He was always available to take our calls and responded promptly to text messages and emails. Stephen has a friendly and easy manner and is an excellent communicator. He particularly spends time understanding your home and the special, and often unique, qualities it has so that the right buyer can be found. This is greatly appreciated when you are anxious about selling your home that you love. Market conditions were somewhat difficult at the time which undoubtedly affected the sale outcome. However, Stephen tool a lot of care in guiding us through this process during the whole of the marketing campaign. Stephen is honest, friendly and extremely professional and we would highly recommend him.

A good campaign, very efficient team behind Stephen. Open houses went well, the advertising of the property was great. Stephen kept in close contact with us, letting us know how things were progressing. He was very professional throughout the campaign with excellent negotiating skills.

Knowledgeable agent, achieved outcome

Stephen achieved a sale for my property and has the power of a strong agency behind him. The listing was attractive and open homes were regular until the sale was achieved.
