Testimonials

Lachlan has excellent knowledge of the area

Marita Blaschka

Lachlan has excellent knowledge of the area.

He has a genuine care factor regarding all aspects of selling.

His attention to detail in both documentation and humananities just perfect.

No hesitation recommending Lachlan Elder

Pieter Hoekstra - Church Point

I have no hesitation recommending Lachlan Elder as a selling agent. My property proved difficult to sell in the past. Lachlan came up with a marketing proposal that achieved a result 10-15% more than any other agent had advised, and this in a softening market. I have every confidence in his negotiation skills.

Professional and dedicated agent

Ian Leslie - Lovett Bay

I have the utmost respect for Lachlan Elder. In my long history of buying and selling property I have seldom engaged with a more professional and dedicated agent. Tenacious he is a truly gifted salesman. And they are rare.

Lachlan comes with 35 years experience in the real estate business. His skills and knowledge of the market and buyers are formidable.

Our property on the Western shores of Pitnryater where access is

boat only presents unique challenges. In his words our sale was the

most challenging in his long selling history. The toughest ever.

Despite that, Lachlan Elder never waivered in his belief that the right

buyer would come along.

He was one of only two agents to tell us the reality of the market.

Over pricing can damage your sale price. News most vendors don't

like. It takes a brave agent to confront the vendor and bring him back

to reality.

In my opinion there is no agent more experienced in this area and

capable of getting results in a difficult market. Especially as lending

tightens.

Other pluses. 24/7 service, daily reports and feed back. Never were

we left in doubt as to a buyers attitude on inspection.

The old saying you can bring a horse to water but can't make it drink

holds true in real estate. Many buyers came but it took a "deal closer"

to make them drink. Lachlan closed the deal, got our full asking price.

Everyone happy, vendor and buyer.

One of the most professional, honest, hard working real estate agent

Robert & Annette Yazbek - Avalon

As a property developer dealing with multiple real estate agents daily, and being in my business for over 40 years, I found Lachlan Elder, to be one of the most professional, honest, hard working real estate agent, I have ever had the pleasure dealing with. I look forward to dealing with Lachlan in the future, if I ever need to buy real estate in the area.

Courteous service and guidance through the sale

John and Di Agostino - Mona Vale

Lachlan - on behalf of Dianne and myself, I would like to thank you for your courteous service and guidance through the sale of our house and subsequent purchase of our new house. I personally always thought that Surfview was the house to buy, but Di took a little more convincing, but having persevered, she is now of the same opinion that I always held, that 3 Surfview is just a magic place to live. Thank you again and best wishes from Di and I

No hesitation in recommending you as 'Agents of Choice'

Phil and Naomi Warren - Newport

Lachlan - we wanted to take a moment to thank you for all the energy you put into achieving a sale on our property at Newport. You were able to attract many people to each inspection and also achieved lots of private inspections to a beautiful house, albeit on a block of land nobody wanted to love! Other members of the LJ Hooker team also worked hard to bring people through. Your conduct at all times during this process was faultless. We really appreciated the constant feedback via written reports and would have no hesitation in recommending you as 'Agents of Choice'. All the very best for the future

Hard working agent who is prepared to go to great lengths

Alan Priestley - Clareville

Lachlan is a hard working agent who is prepared to go to great lengths to get the sale on behalf of an owner. He works long hours and is always available for a discussion

Lachlan Elder has been selling houses for very many years

Ross and Judith Trewin - Church Point

Lachlan Elder has been selling houses for very many years. Because of his reputation around our district (Northern Beaches), we wisely chose him to sell our house. We were not surprised when he achieved a very satisfactory result in four weeks. He has not lost his boyish enthusiasm and has honed his communication skills to a fine degree. My Wife and I were impressed with the way in which he followed up every contact and lead.
