Success Stories
Don’t just take my word for it
I have worked with Chris as both a seller and buyer and would not hesitate working with him again. He has made the selling of my house a smooth and stress free process. He was efficient in responding to any queries and his professional and friendly nature was evident in all interactions. Thanks for all your help, Chris!
E. Pavlich – Pappas Way, Carrara
Absolutely stellar result, Chris not only exceeded expectations on price - he also achieved the result in one weekend. I cannot recommend highly enough. The whole process was made easy and his communication throughout was a dream. Thank you to Chris and the whole team at LJ Hooker Nerang.
A. Longhurst & G. Gillings – Plateau Crescent, Carrara
We recently had the pleasure of having Chris as our real Estate agent when selling our townhouse in Carrara. We found Chris to be extremely knowledgeable regarding house sales in the area, professional at all times, patient as we navigated the process of selling and at all times endeavoured to understand our needs and preferences. We are beyond grateful for Chris’ expertise and support and can’t recommend him enough.
D. Corey - Grande Ave, Carrara
From the time of purchase 6 years ago to the current sale of our property, Chris Pittaway was amazing! We have felt very supported throughout the whole process and it’s been done with ease. We found him to be honest, trustworthy and reliable and he’s always a phone call away. With Chris, no question is a silly question. Thanks Chris!! And the team at Nerang.
C. & J Hewson – Chantrill Ave, Nerang
We came to know Chris Pittaway over the years of owning our home and during this time were able to call on his friendly advice whether it be for renovating or understanding the market and sometimes just for a chat and check-up.
When the time come for us to make the big decision to sell our option was clear who we trusted to sell our home and deliver the best result being Chris Pittaway & the LJ Hooker Nerang team as they took the time to make the journey with us from the start and made us feel like part of their family.
The end result was obvious, with us getting a great result above market price whilst making the process easy and stress free, providing us with not just options and direction but the right options and directions based on a long time local knowledge and market evidence.
Our time and experience with Chris has been nothing short of fantastic and a pleasure and we look forward to continuing that relationship into our next home.
S. & S. Murray – Marrantin Court, Carrara
Chris has been amazing to deal with during the sale of my house. He made the whole experience effortless and is always a pleasure to deal with! I recommend him to everyone and will continue to go back to him.
B. Taylor – Davidson Place, Carrara
Chris is responsive and nothing is too much hassle. This is the second property I have purchased or sold with Chris and I won’t hesitate in seeking Chris out if I have any requirements to buy or sell in the future.

Not ready to sell yet?
The management of your investment is a huge responsibility and has become a serious business over recent years.
It is no longer as easy as selecting a real estate agency with the cheapest fees.
When considering an agency to take care of your most valuable asset, it makes sense to select a team that has your best interests at heart.
If you are currently a landlord and are unhappy with your current agency, we can help you make the switch.
Each of our offices has a dedicated New Client Manager who will work with you every step of the way.
For most people, owning a residential investment property is the biggest financial investment you can make.
