Now she’s back home in New Zealand she has returned to LJ Hooker to continue building on her success

Despite taking a break and working with another real estate brand in Hamilton, Johnston was impressed by the team at LJ Hooker Te Awamutu and seized the opportunity to join the network where her real estate career started.
