Redefining the real estate agent

“I joined LJ Hooker three years ago after a decade in property management with an independent. With LJ Hooker, I have been able to further my career to become Department Manager. I attribute this to the exceptional in-house training and collaboration at state and national conferences; basically being part of a bigger team that is willing to share ideas and celebrate achievements. Technology has transformed industry activities, and LJ Hooker’s own tools have greatly increased my own efficiency.”

“LJ Hooker’s regular campaigns allow me to engage with the marketplace in fresh and meaningful ways. The campaigns enable me to put systems in place for regular connections. Experienced trainers – who themselves have worked in my role – have assisted me in developing a successful career over the last 15 years, as has the tremendous opportunities offered through networking sessions where I’ve been inspired and motivated by others in the LJ Hooker Family.”

“I previously worked at independent and other network agencies before opening an LJ Hooker franchise in 1998. When I initially opened our office, we had three staff; now we have 35. It was clear that the training, systems and processes LJ Hooker offered were better than anywhere else around at the time, and continue to be so today. I have worked in every real estate role – from administration to property management, commercial leasing to residential sales – and I can say that LJ Hooker offers the most comprehensive support systems to optimise productivity. There is a culture of sharing within LJ Hooker so that best practice processes, referrals and general collaboration which sets the brand apart, truly living up to the ‘Nobody Does It Better’ commitment.”

“Over the 25 years I have been with LJ Hooker, our office has undergone a significant increase in market share and is now the number one real estate business in Lithgow. As a business owner I am able to work in sales, growing our customer base and doing what I love best; selling real estate. I am supported by a brand that utilises the best marketing, digital marketing and technology available, while my team have access to first class online and offline training and events. Running a business is not easy, but with LJ Hooker I feel supported by a whole network.”

Franchise Owner, LJ Hooker Lithgow

“I went from a leading sales role with a competitor to establishing a franchise with LJ Hooker 14 years ago. In 2017, I opened a new purpose-built real estate centre which can cater to 50 staff and has overhauled the customer experience on the Gold Coast. With the brand’s support, I have been able to achieve my ambition of becoming the leading sales and property management office in the 4211 postcode and a leading office for sales volume on the Gold Coast. LJ Hooker’s marketing initiatives, especially in the digital space, enable us to keep pace with customer expectations in the modern age, and prepares us for the next innovations before they emerge.”
