LJ Hooker Lake Macquarie has expanded its presence in the Lower Hunter region by acquiring LJ Hooker Belmont along with its rent roll. This move signifies a strategic consolidation of its operations in the area, with the Belmont office, boasting a legacy of over 50 years, now under the leadership of Mark Campbell, the director, and general manager of LJ Hooker Lake Macquarie.
The integration of the Belmont office into LJ Hooker Lake Macquarie’s network, which already includes offices in Wangi Wangi, Toronto, and Warners Bay, is expected to enhance market share, brand recognition, and operational efficiency.

Chris Keating, LJ Hooker’s head of network Australia, lauded the strategic move, underscoring the collaborative benefits that multiple offices under the LJ Hooker brand can bring to a high-growth region like Lower Hunter. The acquisition of a well-established franchise like LJ Hooker Belmont is seen as a natural fit that aligns with LJ Hooker Lake Macquarie’s growth strategy and community engagement.
In addition to business expansion, Campbell places a strong emphasis on fostering a positive work environment that prioritizes mental health and well-being among staff. Recognizing the demanding nature of the real estate industry, Campbell believes that supporting the mental and emotional resilience of agents is crucial for achieving optimal outcomes for both employees and clients.
As LJ Hooker Lake Macquarie solidifies its position in the region, the acquisition of LJ Hooker Belmont marks a significant milestone in the company’s growth trajectory.
