"Since I was intending to move to Townsville I phoned L J Hooker Townsville. They posted me booklets regularly which was very helpful in getting to know the different price brackets in the market up north. When I saw in the brochure a property I wanted to buy, they were more than helpful and I was able to purchase this property which I am very happy with. The unusual circumstances of purchasing a property without physically seeing it, did not phase L J Hooker in the slightest. They kept me updated with all proceedings and assisted me with the paperwork which I found rather daunting as the processes of buying property in QLD are different to NSW. I would highly recommend L J Hooker Townsville for prompt, courteous service with integrity. Sharon Thomas"

"It is with great pleasure that I forward this letter of testimonial to your office. Recently I purchased a property in Belgian Gardens. Your agent, Mark Lake, stepped us through the purchase. Mark's attitude was extremely refreshing, down to earth and honest. The no-pressure approach that Mark displayed is very obvious. These characteristics are wonderful to see. It was a pleasure to work with him. Mark has a personal relaxing way that makes people feel comfortable. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mark to anyone if they were looking to purchase property. Thank-you once again, regards Kathy Mullins"

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you so very much for all the help and advise you gave me with the sale of my home. I found your agency to be upmost professional. Also very helpful from looking after my empty house to collecting the mail and arranging for my lawns to be mowed. I can't explain the relief and satisfaction of feeling secure knowing I had left it all in your hands. I have bought and sold quite a number of houses over the years and I can honestly say I haven't had pleasant experiences with other agents. With your company L J Hooker Townsville, I had a very professional experience and would not hestiate to contact you again or refer anyone to you that I know are wanting sell or purchase a home. Once again, thankyou so very much" Diane Peters

"We purchased our property through Kylie Douglas and found her performance to be outstanding from start to finish. Kylie was helpful, thorough, and made sure we were happy with everything. She made herself available to us with short notice everytime, without delay. We would not hesitate in using Kylie in the future and would strongly recommend her to others." Kind regards, Mr and Mrs Stephenson

"Kylie Douglas has been looking after my investment property for a number of years and it was because of her dedication to excellence in managing my property, commonsense and reliability, that I wanted Kylie to sell my property. Kylie undertook the task of selling my property with enthusiasm and total professionalism that I found refreshing and welcomed. The entire sale process went extremely well and I was extremely pleased with the results. Accordingly, I have no hesitation in recommending Kylie to any person wishing to either sell their property or alternately, have their property managed as an investment." Warren Paull

"We recently had the pleasure of dealing with Joshua Guinea from LJ Hooker Townsville in selling our properties. Joshua was instrumental in negotiation of acceptable prices in a difficult market. He kept us informed at every step of the process and went above and beyond his duty to keep all parties satisfied. Properties were tenanted with long term tenants and he worked to re-locate the tenants smoothly and comfortably.

It is rare to find staff so diligent and conscientious so we suggest you look after him. He is an asset to you and to the industry as a whole."

Yours sincerely, Steve Mitchell and Kathy Toumpas
