LJ Hooker Group has appointed longstanding commercial property specialist Tom Donnelly as Head of LJ Hooker Commercial to lead the brand’s growth and network offering across Australia.
Mr Donnelly brings to the executive position two decades of commercial property experience, including key roles working within a franchise office.
Mr Donnelly’s property career began at LJ Hooker Group, where he held various roles including three years as a network performance manager for LJ Hooker Commercial.
LJ Hooker Group CEO Christine Mikhael said Mr Donnelly’s experience has been welcomed by the Commercial network across Australia.
“Tom has described this new chapter as a homecoming,” she said.
“He's returned with the same enthusiasm as when he first joined the LJ Hooker Group, but with the experience and leadership skills gained from more than 20 years in pivotal roles,” said Ms Mikhael.
“LJ Hooker Commercial has been a critical service offering for many years, and our network has grown to service clients extending from small business owners to government agencies, institutional investors, and everyone in between.
“Tom’s insights, appreciation of the needs of business owners, and connections will be a great asset to our network, many of whom he has established relationships with.
“With Tom as Head of Commercial, we’re extremely excited for the future of LJ Hooker Commercial.”
General Manager of Network for the LJ Hooker Group, Stephen Mutton, said Mr Donnelly has led commercial real estate offices throughout Sydney and has extensive experience in asset management.
“Tom has most recently been an agency director, so he understands the contemporary business landscape that our franchisees are operating in,” said Mr Mutton.
“Tom has an extended appreciation of the LJ Hooker Commercial brand and he’ll utilise this to attract quality talent to our network.
“He’ll also be supporting our existing business owners to enhance their own productivity and profitability, leveraging the tools and support to service the needs of their clients. I know his specialisation in asset management will be of tremendous value to the network, as well.”
Mr Donnelly said he was thrilled to rejoin the brand and work alongside its offices.
“LJ Hooker Commercial specialists have built trust with their clients and, in turn, market share because of their expertise and connections.
“Commercial real estate, and the industry in general, continues to change. I’m committed to LJ Hooker Commercial setting the pace in the evolution of client service and growth.”
