LJ Hooker Commercial Bankstown co-Director Jon Orsborn has taken out the prestigious title of the network’s top commercial salesperson at its annual NSW awards ceremony held in Sydney on Saturday.

Mr Orsborn received the accolade following a stellar 12 months as a trusted advisor for small business owners, syndicates, and institutions seeking guidance for their industrial property needs.

A longstanding South-West Sydney specialist, Mr Orsborn’s expertise across sales and leasing has made him an in-demand specialist for clients seeking to leverage the region’s profile as a hub for logistics and warehousing.

LJ Hooker General Manager-Network, Stephen Mutton, congratulated Mr Orsborn on the achievement.

“Jon is an exceptional performer across the entire LJ Hooker Group. Within our commercial network, Jon sets an exceptional standard and is a brilliant representative of our commitment to setting benchmark results. In every transaction, Jon brings a strategy that supports the holistic objectives of each client, whether they’re are landlord, owner-occupant or tenant.

“Jon's connections throughout the Bankstown and Southwest corridor are unmatched which is why he's able to find solutions faster, and with premium outcomes, for clients."

Mr Mutton also congratulated the wider Bankstown office on being named LJ Hooker’s Top Commercial Office. Mr Orsborn and fellow co-Director Tim Byrne had established a culture that supported collaboration and competition in equal measure, with the ultimate beneficiaries being their clients.

“LJ Hooker Commercial’s contribution to Bankstown and the surrounding business areas stretches back more than four decades with their profile growing stronger every year,” he said.

“Under Jon and Tim's leadership, LJ Hooker Commercial Bankstown's’ client proposition is highly respected in the marketplace.”

Additionally, Tarek El-Yassih (pictured above) from the office received the coveted Best Rising Talent honour for the LJ Hooker Group.

“Tarek has shown brilliant drive and eagerness to learn the commercial property craft over the last year,” said Mr Mutton.

“He’s learning from the best in the LJ Hooker Commercial Bankstown office and is on his way to becoming a leader in the local market.”

Mr Byrne thanked the office for another strong year providing commercial property solutions.

“Whenever a client asked us to sell their warehouse, find a tenant for their strata industrial asset or use our connections to find a transport facility, they benefit from the collaboration of an entire team,” he said. “Across our sales and leasing and asset management specialists, we have the market knowledge and connections to facilitate any industrial deal for our clients.”

Also on the night, Ashlee Tate (pictured above) from LJ Hooker Commercial Taree was named Top Commercial Asset Manager.

Mr Mutton said: “Commercial property has become a highly popular asset class for investors over the last five years. Ashlee does more than simply collect the rent: she’s a true partner for investors, developing plans that optimise the performance of assets in the long-term and advice that supports her clients’ strategies.”
