What our customers say

We joined LJ Hooker Coolum for the rental of our property around 12 months ago. After a few initial hiccups with some issues, Melanie came to our rescue. She is the most polite, friendly, happy property manager we have dealt with. She bends over backwards to help and oblige the landlord so all parties are happy. She rented our property in a very short period of time so vacancy time was minimal. She completes comprehensive reports leaving ‘no stone left unturned’ so both the tenant and landlord are well informed. Melanie has made our experience such a pleasure and without doubt we would recommend her to all, tenant or landlord.
