a friendly and confident personality

Jenny Seymour Seller, East Ballina. - Ballina

Travers made the process of selling our Mum's property a smooth experience. He communicated well with us in all aspects: from introductory information, helping us understand the process through to the final details. Travers has a friendly and confident personality. His patient manner and ability to provide timely and necessary information made us feel confident when the time came to agree to the Sale. Thank you Travers, Nahanni in Administration and the entire team at LJ Hooker Ballina

very happy with the service

Kylie Morgan, Tenant - Ballina

Julie drove me out to look at a rental home and I loved it, and she spoke to the owners and had the lease sorted for me in only about a week. Very happy with the service when I call for any repairs or queries. Tony who handles commercial property has put me in touch with the right people to organize renting a commercial space for a business venture in 2020. All around a great real estate agency.

Kylie Morgan, Tenant - Ballina
