LJ Hooker has appointed former Cooley Auctions auctioneer Toby Llewellyn to its network development team, bringing to the recruitment division a background across both real estate and technology.
In addition to calling for Cooley Auctions across New South Wales, Mr Llewellyn was also instrumental in rolling out its online auction management platform, AuctionNow.
“Having a background in technology – initially in hospitality and then in property through AuctionNow – I’ve been impressed with how LJ Hooker has utilised digital as an enabler for sellers, buyers and agents in an evolving marketplace,” said Mr Llewellyn.
“There’s a lot of talent out there wanting to know how they can properly harness tech to future-proof their personal businesses.”
LJ Hooker Head of Network Development Ben Mitchell welcomed Mr Llewellyn to the group.
“Toby has great connections throughout Sydney’s real estate circles, as well as regional New South Wales, having grown up in Bathurst,” said Mr Mitchell.
“We’ve experienced a growth year in terms of network offices in 2018 and we’re looking to capitalise on that platform in 2019; both through new offices in new marketplaces and bolstering existing agencies with top sales talent.
