V. Donohue

"Rob was very professional and helpful regarding negotiating with us and the purchaser & we were very happy with the end result. Rob was always very helpful and understanding through this process which can be a very stressful time, however he made it seem very simple & straightforward. Thanks Rob, it was a pleasure to deal with you”

Wayne and Gaynor Plewright

"It wasn't the agency that we selected. It was Rob Van Gasteren for himself that we liked and picked. We met him while inspecting another house for sale and we liked the way Rob interacted with us as potential buyers, so we wanted him to represent us on selling our house and to deal with prospective buyers for our house, the same way he dealt with us at that particular opening. We are really happy we used Rob, we got an excellent price for our house due to his performance, and he was very patient with us due to the financial stress we were under having 2 property mortgages at the same time. He provided an excellent outcome for the sale price, which he provided for us with his excellent negotiation skills.”

Julie & Peter

"Robert Van Gasteren is your man if you need a quick sale nothing was too much to him, lovely man, knows the area very well, will definitely use him again in the future.”

Mark Sutton

"Robert Van Gasteren answered his phone either immediately or soon after calling. I am in NSW and it was easy to keep in contact re the sale of my brother's house. I can't praise or recommend Robert Van Gasteren highly enough. Ours was an unusual and somewhat difficult sale and I honestly don't believe we could have got such a successful result with anyone else. I have dealt with many real estate agents and Robert deserves his accolades. I am forever grateful for the help and professionalism provided to our family.”

Angela

"We highly recommend Robert Van Gasteren to future vendors. His helpfulness, knowledge and patience made our experience very easy.. Good Luck Rob...We thank you.”

David & Annette

Dear Rob, Our family would like to thank you for the enormous effort you have put in over the last few months, to sell our brother/fathers house. You have worked around the obstacles that were in your way “supportive and professionally”. As both of us live at least one and half to two hours drive away, we could not have achieved the great outcome without your help and understanding. Your connections to get the jobs done, that were essential to sell the house, were invaluable. You were always there, to be a sounding board and discuss our next move. You put in 100+%. We definately stumbled on the perfect person for the job.

Laura & Dianne

Robert was efficient and friendly and achieved the sale in an efficient manner. He always did what he promised which had a successful outcome.

David & Heather

Dear Mr. Van Gasteren, This is to thank you for everything you did regarding the sale of my house in Martin St, Port Willunga. I was extremely happy with the result of the sale and the smooth way everything took place. My very sincere thanks.

Jose M Gonzalez

"It was an absolute pleasure to have Robert Van Gasteren sell our Pt Willunga property. His sales method, communication & personality all added up to a great result for us. Robert - Well Done & Thank You.”

Clinton and Leonie Johnson

Robert was fantastic from beginning to end! He made us feel very comfortable with the whole buying and selling process - he was always very professional, thorough and understanding. Our house was sold after the 1st Open! It was amazing! We would highly recommend Robert to anyone looking to see their property.

Donna

My settlement came through today and I'm more than delighted with the service you provided from beginning to end and even after settlement. Your easy-going and professional manner put me at my ease and your communication was excellent at all times. It's been a pleasure.

Don Chapman

Robert van Gasteren was able to put my mind at rest during a very worrying time, while I was wondering if I was doing the right thing Robert was clear in communication and what costs would be involved. I was able to show him what sale price I needed to fulfill my commitments re burying a new property and clearing off any debts & mortgages so that I was able to step into my new home mortgage & debt free. He then worked to get the sale price I needed, while one would always want more, I was extremely happy that Robert had achieved my goals. Robert recommended others who were able to help me clear up the property. For this I am extremely grateful as this also took a lot of worry off my shoulders. I would recommend Robert for all the reasons above, I am now happily settled into my new home in Strathalbyn and wonder why I was so worried at leaving the home in Old Noarlunga. "Thank you Robert".

Moira

"I couldn't have asked for a better outcome, receiving top end market price for my property. Robert van Gasteren gave 100+% at all times. I liked the signboard, said it all, without being over priced like some other agencies. The contact through to settlement was handled in a very professional and timely manner. I have already engaged Robert to sell my next rental property which is coming up for the market in the near future"

Lorraine

SOLD!! We would like to thank you Rob, for everything. You were with us each step of the way, making the entire selling process a simple and exciting time in our lives. Being first time sellers we were a little apprehensive going into it, not really knowing what to expect, but you were supportive and professional at each hurdle, guiding us to a quick and successful sale. We couldn't be happier!

Matt and Debbie

Hi Robert, We would like to take the opportunity to thank you for helping us purchase our new home in Sellicks Beach. Robert, you definitely went the extra mile for us; after missing out on a home earlier this year you kept us in mind. Every time a home came up that was close to ticking all our boxes you contacted us and got us in to look at these homes. Your professionalism and advice was impeccable. You have answered all our enquiries without hesitation. Thank you Robert for all your help in purchasing our beautiful new home. We would not hesitate in recommending you & LJ Hooker in purchasing a home or property. You took the stress out of stressful. Kind regards,

Clayton & Dianne
