Stability and Innovation
Over this time technology has bought huge changes to the real estate industry. Everything has gone online, happens in real-time and is fully transparent to both landlords and tenants. Building on the LJ Hooker platforms we have taken our marketing, systems and technology leadership to another level. This includes continuous upgrades of our website and a strong social media presence.
We continue to evolve and perfect our systems to meet consumers expectations as well as to reduce systems complexity for staff. It’s a fine balance of improvement and stability to ensure we provide exceptional service in a sustainable and rewarding workplace.
Our commitment to innovation includes the careful selection of staff to join our team using an international system called Sales Inventory Profile (SIP) which identifies if you have the inherent ability to work in Real Estates even if you have no prior experience.
