Waimate's Real Estate Agent

Welcome to LJ Hooker Waimate

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.

Very professional

Basil - Seller - Waimate

Ruth is very professional, always keeps you in the loop with any details of potential buyers, has great knowledge of the local market and I just found her great to work with.

Basil - Seller - Waimate

Better than expected result

Lloyd - Seller - Waimate

I have sold two properties recently in Waimate with the help and guidance from Elaine Homer of LJ Hooker Waimate.

From our first meeting to the very close, Elaine has been a pleasure to work with and has gone the extra mile without having to be asked.

We got a better than expected result and I definitely think this is in part thanks to Elaine's knowledge and hard work. I highly recommend Elaine and would definitely use her again if need arises.

Lloyd - Seller - Waimate

Excellent

Carole - Seller - Waimate

If you want the BEST then it's Ruth, nothing else needs to be said, it's that simple, totally professional. Likely to buy off Ruth.

Carole - Seller - Waimate

One of the best!

Julie and Shane - Buyer - Waimate

A huge thank you Elaine. You took extra care of us throughout the purchase process of our new home and in between. I would highly recommend Elaine as either a vendor or a purchaser... you cannot go wrong! Elaine ticks all the boxes.

Julie and Shane - Buyer - Waimate

Ruth was available & helpful over the break

Averil - Buyer - Waimate

Ruth was very helpful and arranged viewings of five properties for me over the New Year break because I was coming from out of town. She communicates well, is professional in her service and does it with warmth. I would recommend Ruth as a Real Estate Agent.

Averil - Buyer - Waimate

Professional, timely but also personal

Nadine - Seller - Waimate

Elaine has helped us previously with finding a new house in Waimate, and now that it was time to sell our place we couldn't think of a better person.

With an amazing offer within a few days and a fast sale, she was professional, timely but also personal and we felt listened to.

Thank you for making this a great experience.

Nadine - Seller - Waimate
