True Professional, Relaxed, Calm & Well-Respected

Client - Vendor & Buyer

I'm fortunate enough to have dealt with Chris both as a buyer and a vendor. As a buyer, Chris is a highly personable agent whom you instantly feel comfortable with in discussing properties in an honest and transparent way. His knowledge of the inner west property market is extensive and one that helps buyers see the positive or negative merits of a property transaction before they buy. As a vendor, Chris always kept me up to date with the status and feedback of potential buyers and consistently achieves the outcomes you want as a vendor. He's a true professional in a relaxed, calm and non-pressured way and for this reason, has become a well-respected and very popular "people person" agent in the Inner West. Congratulations Chris!

No Other Agent in Balmain Comes Close to LJ Hooker Balmain Service

Client - Vendor

We have used Chris and the Balmain LJ Hooker team for the last 4 properties we have sold in Balmain. For us the attention to detail and coming up with new ways of positioning properties along with excellent pre and post service has been fantastic. No other agent in Balmain comes close in the level of service that LJ Hooker Balmain offers…. And we have just listed our 5th property with Chris. Highly recommended if you want someone that you can trust and will give you honest advice.

Dear Mary K, Mary A & Anna, I am very pleased with the help and service you all have provided.
