My sister and I recently purchased a property through the LJ Hooker office in Clayton. As we buy properties as an investment I have dealt with many agents from different real estate agencies. I have never come across such a competent, polite and friendly professional team. We were having problems with the vendor once we signed the contract and the team worked hard to make sure everything was done, never giving up when at times I wanted to. The office was a delight to deal with as they made me feel like I was one of the family, and not just another customer to deal with. I would gladly recommend Steven and his office to anyone who had a house to sell or for anyone looking to buy a house. It was a pleasure doing business with a true professional who was honest and caring. I wish there were more people in the real estate world like Steven and the team. Wendy

We would just like to thank you for the fantastic services you provided in selling the unit on Crawford Road Clarinda. We would recommend our friends to you with regards to selling or buying property. Once again, thank you very much. John & Grant

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the professional service and careful attention to detail you provided to us, particularly all the effort to upgrade the property so that a suitable sale could be achieved. We have no hesitation in recommending your services to all our Victorian friends and relatives. T & H. Jose.

You started your letter by congratulating us on the recent sale of our property. We think that it should be you - the team at LJ Hooker - who should be congratulated. We are very confident that you carry on your duties in a professional way. We would be happy to recommend you to anybody. Once again, thank you for your great effort and a good sale. K. Kadera

I want to thank you for helping me sell my unit and for getting such a good price for it. Nothing was too much trouble for you and you were always there with a smile to answer any questions I had (and some were trivial). It was a pleasure doing business with you and I would thoroughly recommend LJ Hooker [Clayton] to any one who was thinking of buying or selling a property. V. Arnold

Thank you so much for your dedication, commitment and efforts involved in the marketing and sale of our unit. Your professionalism has restored our faith in the real estate industry. It's been a pleasure to deal with both yourself [Steven] and Jenny. We have strongly recommended your agency to other unit owners [in the Retirement Village], and will continue to do so.

During my recent purchase of property I dealt with Amelia from LJ Hooker Clayton. [She] was pro-active and worked along side my solicitor and banker and many times I was kept up to date and notified by her first, as opposed to them. At all times she was polite, easy going and showed a genuine interest in the settlement of my property. Even when there were troubles with settlement from the vendor's behalf; Amelia kept re-assuring me that a positive outcome was going to eventuate. A job well done! A. Dimitriu.

I would like to thank you (John) and the staff of LJ Hooker Clayton for the assistance and advice given in connection with my recent purchase of 105 Moriah Street, Clayton. From the fall of the hammer to the day of settlement, the service I received from LJ Hooker Clayton in general and yourself and Steven Sarris in particular was truly exemplary. To anyone looking to purchase or sell real estate I would recommend you and your agency without any hesitation from all standpoints - depth of knowledge, well considered advice and professional and friendly service.

I first met John Farrell at a property in Clayton South where he showed my mother and I around. I was very impressed with his manner and sincerity. Later the same day I met up with him again when my mother put a deposit on the property she previously viewed. We needed some piece of mind after a torrid month of looking around and two signed contracts that had fallen through and Mr. Farrell showed us a lot of class in the way that he treated us and genuine concern for our situation. I immediately thought there's someone I want to do business with. Mr. Farrell also searched diligently for other properties for us and when I met him at another property in Clarinda I found him to again be prompt and professional. I am writing this letter on behalf of my mother as she cannot write in English. Thank you so much for the wonderful service you provided; we wish you all the best for your future endeavours.

I have purchased an investment property in Clayton South, through LJ Hooker Clayton. The real estate agent, with whom I dealt with, was John Farrell. I found John very professional, knowledgeable and helpful throughout the whole ordeal. Before purchasing the property I wanted to do some research about the area I was buying into. I have been living in a different state for the last three years and thus I wanted to investigate what the market was doing in Melbourne, particularly around Clayton. John was most helpful in giving me the information I needed to make the right decision. Not only he made the purchase stress free, he also gave me advice on subdividing the property, as it was my intention to do so. I will have no hesitation in contacting John when the time comes to purchase another property or sell my current one.

Dear John, You can hardly imagine the impact you made....I mean... we were clueless.... Just arrived into another continent...and you were the person to enlighten us. John....I know that everything is business....but you gave us such great, useful help. I am working in the health sector...and though all of us work for a living... it is so gratifying to help people genuinely interested. While we were in Victoria, we looked at many aspects. Thanks to you we were able to gain knowledge faster. Once we decide on any property... we will contact you first! Big Promise. John... you were special... you showed such interest in our need.

We were clients of LJ Hooker Clayton who successfully sold our unit on Tennyson Avenue with fantastic results. John Farrell, handling our unit, was the estate agent we didn't think existed. We came into this with optimism until we met John. John gave us the confidence; security and honesty that our best interests were are heart. John gave us unconditionally his time, energy and friendship over and above the call of duty, knowing we lived down on the Peninsular John gave to us his own time and effort to make this settlement go through with no trouble to us, we were thrilled with the results. John, just a personal thanks from us for all your help, keeping the buyer happy and moving the garage stuff was fantastic. A big thank you, we were thrilled with the results, we wish you all the best for your future.

The service we received from John regarding the sale of [Peter Street, Oakleigh South] was completely overwhelming, the promptness and approach was absolutely fantastic, his explanation of what was going to happen regarding the sale of Dads house was very professional and helped me and my husband in a most awkward emotional time.

I will have no hesitation in recommending LJ Hooker if the need arises to do so.

To John and the staff, many thankyous on a quick and satisfactory outcome.
