Laing & Simmons

High level detailed feedback and communication, maintains utmost professionalism at all times. Prompt and professional from the very first time we met at our home for the appraisal. Friendly and approachable with a passion for the local market. Chris is undoubtedly the suburb specialist with an agency team to back him during any sales and marketing campaign. His attention to detail when explaining how the process works left me with so much comfort and deservedly, we all exceeded our expectations with the outcome. His suggestion for the listing date was perfect to capture the right market for our turnkey home. Thanks Chris, Emily and team!

Chris, Emily and the team are a fantastic agency. Chris is personable, respectful, diligent and prompt in responding to any question.
His knowledge of the local area is second to none and he ensures himself and his team operates at the highest standards.
Chris is honest, says what he means. I 100% felt I could trust him to sell our family home.

I actually cannot wait to give this review to Chris and Emily at Laing & Simon Pennant Hills. The property was put on off-market sale by another agent but failed. Chris and Emily picked up this unsuccessful case and turned it into a top sale on the street in just 3 weeks. The price signicantly exceeds our expectation.

I am very very impressed by their professionalism, especially the insight and timely response to deal with subtle change of the current market; the dedication to try their best to get the best outcomes; the flawless way to handle auction; and the kind heart to treat it as their own home just as advertised.

Special thanks to Emily. As vendor, it is inevitable that we were anxious, frustrating, nervious, pressued, sleepless. She has spent a lot of time to patiently and kindly speak with, and txt to, my wife. This has really given her a lot of comfort!

Highly recommended!

Exceptional. Chris and his team were extremely professional. They demonstrated to have very good knowledge of the broader market, buyers sentiments and how our property fits in that view.
They covered every aspect and executed in a professional manner. Advertising, getting the house staged was done on time, we didnt have to check or follow up for anything.

We were meant to go to Auction but sold way before due to expert handling. It was a very well handled process. As an outcome our property was sold within two days after 1st open home above the expected price. I would definitely use Chris" help again to buy or sell a property.

I recommend Chris highly

Amazing Experience. Chris wasn't just selling our property, he was a friend there to help the process to go forward as calm, clean, prompt, flexible, wise as possible. All phases, from initial consultations, to preparing the property and advertising and arranging everthing with the buyer, were done quickly and wisely. The property got sold after fisrt open home. Can't be thankful enough.

Always there for you. Chris and Emily complimented each other so well, both their opinions were voiced respectfully so you knew you had a team working for you. Both were always courteous and professional and proved to care for us as clients. At the beginning of the process when we were entertaining the idea of putting the home on the market, Emily was helpful and down to earth in advising what we could do to bring the property to sale. We waited a year before returning to Emily and she had enquired once or twice during that 12 months about our plans but never once badgered or cajoled us to sign up. When we were ready, Chris and Emily were complimentary of what we had done and succinctly explained the process to us. Come the auction, Emily and Chris again complimented each other. Emily’s enthusiasm and Chris’ commonsense calmed our fears. We are very happy with the outcome and certain Emily and Chris were the best agents for us.

The best real estate agent ever!
i would highly recommend Chris to anybody looking to buy or sell! He was highly professional in all aspects! With all his years of experience in the business he has extensive knowledge of everything, he is honest, kind and will help you with anything that you will need. I didn't have any problems with Chris he is exactly what you want for an agent! 100%!

Joelle at Laing and Simmons PH has been extremely helpful and responsive. She went above and beyond to make the entire process easy for us. The Best property manager ever.

I highly recommend for anyone who wants a trustworthy and no fuss solution to property management!

L+S PH (Rental agents) have been a pleasure to deal with over the years.
Their senior agents and property managers have always dealt with us in a professional and expedient manner.
As a tenant they were great to work with, so I would recommend them for home owners looking for an agent to manage investment properties and rentals.

Property Manager Joelle is quick and thorough with communication. Very helpful and easy to work with.

We have nothing but praise for Chris’s work. As a local agent with 22 years local market experience he knew the market extremely well; was very responsive; very professional, reliable and courteous. He is always patient and polite to everyone. It was a pleasure to deal with Chris, Emily, Ari and the team L+S pennant hills and we would highly recommend their services.

Ariane was patient, professional and made the entire process easy from start to finish. She went above and beyond.

We highly recommend Emily Khoudair from Laing and Simmons if you are thinking of selling your property. Emily gave an expert and accurate market appraisal from the onset. Her advice to get the property ready was extremely helpful and we believe ultimately facilitated us achieve the highest price possible. Throughout the campaign her staff were helpful and professional at open houses. She gave us timely feedback about how the sale was going throughout the campaign. Her advice was trustworthy, agile and aligned to the market. At the point of exchange and settlement her professionalism continued.

Our buying experience with Emily was professional and smooth. She was very responsive at all times, and although representing her client’s interests, accommodated our requests and provided clear information and updates throughout.

We would highly recommend Chris at Laing and Simmons Pennant Hills for the sale of your property. Chris was quick to help us in getting our unit on the market, for the most competitive price we found and a wealth of knowledge not only of the area, but of our particular unit block. Unfortunately the market turned down just as we entered it and it was a long 5 months until we finally found our buyer. But during this time Chris held open homes consistently twice a week as well as by appointment, out of hours and during peak times, despite no shows and time wasters, and provided us with great advice for us to finally cross the finish line. He fought for us to get the best price considering the market and was honest and open with us along the way. We greatly appreciated his communication with us, after every showing and open home we received a report, we were never kept in the dark. We are very thankful for his support and persistence and would not hesitate to recommend his services and use his team again in the future.

From inspection to signing the team at Laing and Simmons Pennant Hills were supportive, informative and had confident abilities that made me feel secure as a buyer. Chris was very accomodating, understanding, and first-class in his experience in the area. Very happy to have had Chris and his team manage my purchase.

If you asked me what is very Pennant Hills, one description has to be Chris and Emily. 8 years ago, my family inspected and attended the auction for a house listed by Chris and Emily and 8 years later we experienced the open home and auction once again in the area. Actually, the only 2, only 2 experiences the family had in Pennant Hills home hunting, we are not able to compare with any other agents, but as a buyer of a three generations family, we know what is friendly, what is dedicated in each house open and what is professional consistence across years. We are very happy to participate the auction and fully understand why vendors have put their trust on you. We much appreciate Emily’s and your courtesy, attention to our inspection need multiple times in the most comfortable way.

Thorough About Being Thorough! Just finished the sale of my parents house today with Emily & Chris. It's not until you get to the end of the process that you realise these two really do hide their light under a bushel. In the case of this sale, Chris just kept chunking away in the engine room right from the first meeting, then offering up regular and ongoing statistics and then being extremely detailed about the completion of the contracts. Emily freely dispensed her can-do attitude through a generous combination of charm, experience and respect for all involved. It's proof in the pudding when the successful bidder at a raging auction with masses of registered bidders insists on telling you, the vendor, how courteous Emily had been at every stage. The auction winner was also determined to let us know that Emily would always linger that bit longer when needing to be available to show the home, even on repeated occasions. Although I don't sell real estate, I have run numerous critical businesses for well over forty years and experience tells me that truly professional success always requires the kind of immediate and transparent communication offered by Emily & Chris. Right from the start we were neither pushed nor pulled but rather I felt like we were walking side by side while being readily included into a temporary yet very tight team. These two are courteous, dignified, punctual, transparent, diligent and, most importantly of all, they are honest.

Excellent Service
Emily went out of her way in her own time to facilitate my purchase. Her service was very professional and the purchasing experience was efficiently managed.

We had the pleasure of selling our home through Laing and Simmons in Pennant Hills. Chris, Emily, and the team are extremely professional, honest, hardworking and outstanding communicators. If they say it is going to happen, it does! They have a thorough knowledge of Pennant Hills and surrounding suburbs that comes from years of experience in the area and being respected members of this community. This is our third transaction with them and we wouldn't hesitate to use them again. We highly recommend them for your real estate transactions.
