LJ Hooker Timaru 51 Church Street, TIMARU 7910

Welcome to LJ Hooker Timaru

Real estate isn't about houses, it's about people.

There’s a difference between being in a neighbourhood, and truly understanding the heart of a community. It means knowing every street, and every local hidden gem.

We turn those insights into meaningful outcomes for our clients, and that’s the difference between providing a service, and being a trusted partner. Between achieving the ideal result, and building a legacy of them. Whether buying, selling, or renting, it's what makes us different, and makes us better.

Top rated agent

Robert and Viv - Seller - Timaru

Ben Groundwater and the team at LJ Hooker in Timaru, presented us with a selling package for our home in Timaru. In what proved to be a reasonably difficult marketing period, they achieved for us a sale of our property within their estimated range and met our expectations.

We were highly impressed with their accurate reading of the local housing market and the hard work with an excellent sales package which exceeded our expectations. They were always available, and nothing was a bother.

The outstanding negotiating skills they employed on our behalf to achieve a good sales outcome for us was deeply appreciated. We could not have wished for more from an agent.

Robert and Viv - Seller - Timaru

Friendly, helpful and honest

Karen - Seller - Timaru

Professional and personal service. Our experience of selling a property with Andrea’s assistance was a much more pleasant one than we had anticipated.

She was the ultimate professional who was highly organised and well prepared for all our interactions regarding the property sale. She demonstrated excellent interpersonal skills as she worked closely with us throughout the process - from preparing the property for sale, putting it on the market and after sale interactions. She provided informative comparative listings to enable us to have an understanding of the current market in Timaru.

We valued her friendly, helpful honest and realistic approach, all whilst showing caring and empathy of the emotions involved with our family circumstances surrounding the house sale. Thank you Andrea. We rate you highly and have no hesitation in recommending you to other prospective vendors and buyers.

Karen - Seller - Timaru

Fantastic service

Steph and Jai - Seller - Timaru

Joelle and her team were very easy to communicate with, smooth, efficient and top notch marketing skills without any fuss. She planned and executed everything for us since we live overseas and delivered positive results. Thank you for helping us sell our memorable first home. Highly recommended!

Steph and Jai - Seller - Timaru

Fantastic agent 

Cassandra - Seller - Timaru

Anja working with you was a pleasure. Perfect communication promptly after open homes and during the process of collecting offers. Despite a lengthy process I felt you were engaged and actively assisting us to sell the house. Your dedication was spectacular. You had excellent knowledge of the market which was a bonus .

Cassandra - Seller - Timaru

Buying a home can feel overwhelming

Richard - Buyer - Timaru

Buying a home can feel overwhelming - but not when you have the right person guiding you.

From day one, Ben made the process smooth and stress-free. He was proactive, clear in his communication, and always available to answer questions - no matter how small. What really stood out was his ability to keep everything calm and on track, even when things got a little hectic.

If you’re looking for a real estate agent who combines market knowledge with genuine care for his clients, I highly recommend Ben.

Richard - Buyer - Timaru

Absolutely wonderful to deal with!

Sean - Buyer - Timaru

Andrea was amazing to deal with, very helpful and has a great imagination to help me picture my new home, keeping in touch, how everything was moving forward, asking if I needed help with anything. Very much appreciated from a first home buyer.

Sean - Buyer - Timaru

Amazing experience!

Rebekah and Jacob - Buyer - Timaru

Joelle was professional, friendly, had the knowledge needed and when she didn’t have the information she went and got it as quickly as she could.

Her communication was always excellent and kept us in the loop with everything we needed to be aware of.

Rebekah and Jacob - Buyer - Timaru

Anja made our purchase effortless and enjoyable

Horst and Lara - Buyer - Timaru

We had an absolutely outstanding experience working with Anja on the purchase of our home. From start to finish, she was professional, approachable, and incredibly supportive. Her communication was always clear and timely, and she went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly through every stage of the process.

Anja’s knowledge and attention to detail gave us complete confidence, and her warm, friendly manner made what could have been a stressful experience truly enjoyable. We’re so grateful for her dedication and genuine care — she made us feel more like friends than clients. We couldn’t recommend Anja highly enough to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you, Anja, for helping us make this next chapter possible!
