We found Stephen and the office staff to be helpful, friendly and professional with the purchase of our property.

While on one hand we got limited updates /progress reports during the marketing period prior to auction - perhaps because potential buyers were not showing their hand - on the day Stephen delivered ! We were very satisfied with the auction result and the price obtained on the day. This is in a long way due to how Stephen managed the auction as auctioneer. Too many auctioneers rush and the property ends up being passed in. Bidding stalled on our property at a price way below the reserve but instead of rushing tom pass in the bidding was slowed and a competition between bidders subsequently opened up which led to a very satisfactory final process under the hammer. As both an agent and as an auctioneer Stephen has a nice manner that engenders trust with both vendors and prospective purchasers.

His very good in doing his job.everything was just easy to get done because the team is always available if u need them.

When I mentioned to a friend that I was selling our unit in Canberra and was looking for a good real estate agent he had no hesitation in recommending Stephen Thompson,principal of LJ Hooker Manuka. His recommendation proved to be spot on. Stephen was able to achieve a great result for us in a relatively short time. I found his advice,communication and his knowledge of the Canberra market and real estate generally to be first class. Stephen was an absolute pleasure to deal with and I am grateful to him for making our sale an enjoyable,stress free experience. Rob Waddell Orange NSW

Excellent experience, professional agent.

It is my pleasure to recommend Stephen Thompson of LJ Hooker Manuka as highly attentive agent. He returned all my calls and emails the same day and I never felt neglected. Right from the start of the selling process, giving his honest opinion of the probable sale price, to advertising the property, organising and attending all the open house making sure that I was always kept in the loop by giving me a report each time of what transpired during the open house, very good at communication Selling the property was a breeze with Stephen’s negotiating skills selling at a price over what was expected despite the state of today’s market. The whole selling processes was made easy and taking the burden of my shoulders. I would like to say the service and attention given to me was excellent and I would re-engage them without any hesitation.

Stephen Thompson of L. J. Hooker sold our Deakin house at auction on 26 November 2022. My wife and I have given him a Five star rating as he gave excellent advice about advertising and preparation of the house for sale. He and his team were always professional and gave very clear, but not over optimistic advice about price range. Happily, the house sold at auction and reached the reserve. I’d have no hesitation in recommending Steven and his team as a Real Estate team of choice.

Stephen was closely involved in helping us prepare the property for sale with sage advice and ideas. He kept us closely advised on prospective buyers. Although we were disappointed with the final sale price this was in the context of a falling market and a property which only appealed to a subset of potential buyers.

Stephen did a great job selling our apartment to two wonderful buyers. He kept us up to date on each of the interested parties and gave his view on where the apartment was sitting with each of them. Recommended.

Stephen Thompson offers the potential seller or buyer extensive experience in the inner south market. In addition he acts with integrity, communicates openly and is a very easy person to work with. He gives up-to-the-minute guidance on market conditions and his assessments are realistic. He is able to park his ego to one side! I am a return customer of Stephen's so, of course, I am happy to recommend him highly for your next real estate transaction.

He is very professional and very good.

Stephen Thompson sold our mother’s home by auction and this was expertly run due to Stephen’s vast experience and attention to detail. Stephen is very genuine who obviously cares for his clients and takes the time to understand their circumstances. Stephen was always prompt in responding to our questions and he provided sound advice. Regular updates and meetings were arranged to update us on the progress of the sale. We were extremely happy with the outcome of the auction and would have no hesitation in recommending Stephen and his team at LJ Hooker Manuka.
