As LJ Hooker approaches its centenary in 2028, we’ve set our strategy for significant and sustainable growth.
This strategy is called LJH100, and our vision is to be Australia and New Zealand’s most profitable at-scale network to lead the industry into the next 100 years.
Being profitable means we can reinvest back into our people, innovation, growth, performance, training, events, and fun, to create our exciting future together.
At-scale means we can negotiate valuable enterprise agreements, create greater internal referral opportunities for our offices and their teams, and impact and influence industry decisions to take a true leadership position.
Underpinning this strategy are five core advantages we will deliver to our offices:

Two top business owners share their story
The LJ Hooker group is proud to have welcomed a 4th generation family business to our powerhouse brand. After 83 years as an independent agency, the business owners, Tony and Peter, realised they were missing out on opportunities to attract new clients who were seeking a recognised and trusted brand.
Since joining the LJ Hooker Group they’ve seen a significant increase in the sales income, as well as attracting new agents and converting leads from our Always On lead generation campaign.
Hear about their experience in their own words.
