Way back in 1890 one of Swan Hill's early luminaries, John Gray, commenced the first land agency in North West Victoria, trading as John Gray & Son. John Gray was also the first Member of the Victorian Parliament for the district; was the first President of the Shire of Swan Hill and was widely regarded as a driving force in the early progress of the district.
The Gray family owned the business through two World Wars, the Great Depression, Australia's conversion to decimal currency and the advent of computers.
However, after 3 generations of family ownership, John Noel Gray (Grandson of the founder) sold John Gray & Son to John Monahan, himself the grandson of one of Swan Hill's early land agents. This wealth of history and industry involvement was reinforced when the business franchised with LJ Hooker in 1984 in the face of the rapid transformation of the real estate industry from one based on localised knowledge alone to one focused on customer service, information technology and sophisticated marketing strategies.
Today the office is led by John Monahan OAM, a real estate professional with over 35 years experience in the local real estate industry. The sales team has over 50 years combined real estate experience and has several accolades for outstanding sales performance.
LJ Hooker Swan Hill is very active in the management of all classes of urban real estate. The Property Investment Management Department, managed by Alistair Ward, is backed by a very sophisticated computer management and tracking system.
This system, together with the office's strong focus on outstanding customer satisfaction, delivers a standard of property management service recognised by past and present clients as the local industry benchmark.
The spacious, purpose built LJ Hooker Swan Hill office is located at the entry to Swan Hill's renowned Shopping Park and has ample kerbside and off street customer parking.
