At the same time we always felt they were listening and accommodating us as individual clients, and nothing was ever a problem.

We wanted to take the opportunity to write and thank you and your team for the assistance that you provided during our recent purchase of our new home. Even we understand that you were working for and on behalf of the vendor, we felt that you also went out of your way to give us great service.

I wanted to thank you for selling my property. Your knowledge and experience shines through. Your market knowledge is so complete, that I was confident during all stages in the marketing and sales process that I was making informed decisions.

All of the hard work, effort and professional service was also obvious to me and I knew that you were performing the tasks promised, making calls, tracking down leads, running advertisements and showing the property. I am so grateful. Seeing that I have not even met you personally and considering we accomplished this together from opposite sides of the world know that I will be proud to finally meet you on my next visit home.

55 Wesson Road, West Pennant Hills

Sold for: $680,000

We are writing to express our pleasure with the real estate agents Laing & Simmons Pennant, NSW, who represented us in our recent sale of our single family home. Emily Khoudair guided us through the entire process, from advertising and marketing to offers and closing the deal. We credit Emily and all the staff with a smooth, stress-free home selling experience.
This is our third home we have sold, and never had we had such a pleasurable experience. Emily is savvy, personable and knows the market inside and out. Our home had been listed with two other local agents and never did we get the results that Emily achieved. Emily had an offer on our home in such a short period of time, I only wish I listed with her sooner.

To reiterate, we are nothing but pleased with Laing + Simmons Pennant Hills NSW and their expertise, we highly recommend Emily Khoudair to everyone that is selling or buying a property.

10-12 HAROLD AVENUE, PENNANT HILLS.

Sold for: $960,000

Emily Khoudair of Laing + Simmons, Pennant Hills recently acted on the sale of my property at Pennant Hills. Working in a difficult economic climate, whilst at the same time endeavouring to achieve the best possible price for my 1920’s home on a large block of land, was indeed a challenge. Emily displayed patience and perseverance throughout the sale campaign and her tenacity encouraged me to feel that the sale was in good hands. A very fair result was achieved as a result of Emily’s top quality efforts.

58a Yarrara Road, Pennant Hills.

Sold for: $700,000

My sister and I, on behalf of my parents, engaged Emily Khoudair to market and sell our family home. After interviewing a number of other agents we were confident in working with Emily because:
+ She had a, modest and effective approach to marketing and advertising.
+ She was able to listen to our expectations and was flexible in adopting them.
+ Her office responded promptly to our enquiries.
+ She provided a clear and reasonable explanation of costs.

In conclusion Emily achieved a prompt sale at a very competitive price. I would happily recommend her agency and to anyone seeking a professional approach to the sale or real estate.

31A, Werona Street, Pennant Hills

Sold for:$760,000

Emily’s expert knowledge of Pennant Hills proved invaluable and gave us the assurance that she and Chris would achieve the best results for us, rather than pushing for a quick sale. Even with uncertainty in the property market, she priced our property higher than competing agents and thanks to her excellent negotiation skills she was able to achieve our desired outcomes. At all times, her integrity, professionalism and commitment to our interests made us feel that our home was in the right hands.
I would highly recommend Emily and Chris to anyone who is considering selling in the Hills area.”
Thanks a lot for all your help.

67 Loftus Road, Pennant Hills

We would like to thank Chris and yourself for your recent efforts in selling our house. From the moment we met you we were impressed by your professionalism and enthusiasm.

Real Estate Agents we initially contacted for an evaluation on our property did not show anywhere near the level of interest or knowledge of the local area that you both did. Your prediction that our house would sell quickly was also spot on.

The professional photos that were taken of our house as part of the advertising campaign were fantastic, as was subsequent advertising on the internet, Signboard and your office. Our house was sold in less than two weeks (an offer was accepted after the second open house) which was a wonderful result. We achieved the price we wanted and are so happy that such a great result was reached in such a short space of time.

Thank you for your wonderful assistance and we would not hesitate to recommend Laing + Simmons Pennant Hills to anyone contemplating selling in the area.

8-15 Leo Road, Pennant Hills

Thankyou for selling our townhouse so quickly. We were very pleasantly surprised to find that you had secured a buyer in less than 2 weeks. We were much impressed with the professional manner in which you approached what can be a difficult task. You accurately identified the appropriate market and directed your efforts towards the most likely buyer with outstanding results. We were also impressed by the manner in which you negotiated with the buyer a reasonable offer which we were able to accept without delay.

We wish you and Emily a truly blessed and joyous Christmas season and a happy and successful New Year.

Sold for: $789,000

Laing + Simmons represented by Chris & Emily Khoudair achieved for the Pennant Hills Baptist Church a satisfactory result in the sale of our manse property. They ensure that the property was well advertised (with professional grade photography) on the website and through the local press and property magazine. Regular open houses were held to display the property to interested parties. They kept us well informed of progress in their endeavours, and therefore the Property Committee of Pennant Hills Baptist Church has no problem in recommending them to you.

Yours faithfully,

From our first contact with Emily Khoudair to the sale of our home prior to Auction, we could not fault her professionalism and attention to detail. The exposure Emily gave our property through the advertising package reaching surrounding areas was outstanding. Emily Negotiated a record price for our home and kept us informed at all times.
We could not recommend Laing + Simmons Pennant Hills more highly.

3 Angophora Place, Pennant Hills

Dirk and myself would like to thank you very much for your enthusiasm and efficiency in helping us sell our property in Pennant Hills. We initially invited 4 different agents to give us an appraisal on our house and it came down to Laing and Simmons and another well known company within the area.

We called both agents to invite them back for a second meeting, I left messages and Emily called back immediately and I didn''t hear from the other agent until the next day. Emily brought Chris with her and my husband and I instantly knew they were the right people for us, they run the agency themselves and it is obvious how devoted to it they are. They both discussed all the ''ins and outs'' of selling our house and made us feel very comfortable with going ahead with it. Whatever we discussed or requested they came through with it very efficiently. We were very impressed with the photos that were taken and the For Sale sign was very eye catching. Most of the interest came from the internet, we ended up having over 2000 hits on our advertisement which was fantastic.

Before we decided to sell our house we always wondered why there were so many Laing & Simmons signs around the area, having gone through the process of selling our house with Emily and Chris we now understand why so many others like us decided to use Laing & Simmons Pennant Hills to sell their house. We are more than happy to provide a reference if needed, please email on dirk.michelle@exemail.com.au. Thanks again for your huge efforts in gaining the best possible price for our home.

12 Kurrajong Street, Pennant Hills

Just a quick note to say thank for selling our property at 12 Kurrajong St, Pennant Hills. Your patience and perseverance helped us achieve the price we wanted in a timely manner. You always kept us informed of what was going on and helped accomplish a great result. We particularly like the fact that your real estate agency is a family owned business as it gave us the opportunity to get to know you on a more personal level. If we ever rang the office everyone there knew who we were and we felt like we were part of team.

Your positive attitude and willingness to take our thoughts and ideas onboard also made us feel at ease during the sale process. Emily you showed true passion for property and we would be more than happy to recommend you to anyone looking to sell or buy real estate. You worked hard to achieve our sale and your polite and friendly manner greatly assisted our sale campaign.

21 Morgan Street, Thornleigh

The recent sale of our family home has been a resounding success due to your commitment and professionalism. Many thanks. We were greatly impressed from our initial consultation with the Laing + Simmons Pennant Hills Sales team. At this initial contact, a very enthusiastic "can do" and sincere atmosphere was established and maintained until the successful sale of the property. We also wish to highlight the: Exceptional communication between sales agent and vendor during the marketing period. At all times, on any day during this period, you would contact us with the latest news or advice for upcoming events. The net result was that anxiety during the marketing period was replaced by the excitement of the approaching sale. Wealth of local market /buyer profile knowledge that you brought to this transaction ensuring that we achieved the best price for our property. The professional literature contained in the Laing + Simmons Marketing Submission. Herein a wealth of solid information and helpful advice for the vendor.

It is has been a pleasure working with you.

69 Loftus Road, Pennant Hills

I am pleased to let you know our appreciation of your great effort in selling our property at Loftus Road, Pennant Hills. As you know we had the property listed with another agent in the area for nearly 5 months with no acceptable offers. We were then looking for another agent who would put their hand up and make a commitment to sell our property quickly. You were willing to commit to selling our property within 4-6 weeks. It was certainly a fine result when you did sell our property in 5 weeks with the price that was acceptable to us.

I will have no hesitation in recommending you to other sellers who are looking for someone who is fully committed to their service.

9 Vale Road, Thornleigh

When we first decided to engage a real estate agent to sell our house we considered a few other established agents in the area. Initially we were of the opinion that a more established group would be able to serve us better, but we are extremely pleased to see our whole experience being just the opposite. We found both Emily and Chris to not only be very experienced and capable real estate agents but also extremely wonderful professionals to work with. Once we entered into the sales agreement with Laing & Simmons Pennant Hills, both Emily and Chris got on with the job of selling the house - right from the word go. They were extremely responsive to our requirements, worked ‘with’ us on all the issues, very communicative, coordinated with all other parties through the sales process….and achieved the results what we wanted.

Being based in Dubai these days and to get our house in Aus sold is not easy, but Emily and Chris made it so easy! The result of their excellent work is evident from the fact that we SOLD our house on the first day of open house. What better result one could expect?

I wish to let you know how happy and satisfied I am with Emily Khoudair from Laing + Simmons as she approached me to sell my two blocks of land, one in Warne Street and one in Ramsay Road. Emily kept me constantly informed as to what was happening, gave me suggestions, but left all decisions on price up to me. Because she was so approachable I could ring her at any time-always pleasant and cheerful.

Emily organised contractors to clear the land and clean up rubbish that had been dumped there. As I live up the coast I wasn’t aware of what some people were doing to my land. The land sold quickly and I was so pleased with all the service I received. I’m happy I made Laing + Simmons my selling agents. They made me feel like family.

I highly recommend Laing + Simmons Pennant Hills and Emily Khoudair.

3 The Crescent, Pennant Hills

Our background story is that we are a couple with two young children, originally from Sydney who have been working in Indonesia for some years. In anticipation of moving back to Sydney for our children’s education, we had started to look at houses on the internet. We were looking in the area from Turramurra/Wahroonga to Beecroft/Cheltenham and were after an older house. What attracted us to the property was that it was an old house with lots of character. We know buying an old house is definitely not everyone’s cup of tea but overwhelmingly everyone said how lovely this one was and well maintained.

We loved the high ceilings, elegant lead lights, and beautiful original cornices. My sister who is an interior designer said they were the most beautiful cornices she’s ever seen. We also liked the charming fireplaces (all used and working), especially one in the master bedroom. We also liked the layout of the house - family and friends who viewed it said it had an open hospitable feel and would be great for entertaining (something we enjoy and look forward to doing there). People also commented about the captivating entrance up the front steps, across the verandah and into the grand entrance hall. We also liked the big wide verandah and loved the garden with the big old trees. As well as this we loved the kid focused features - the tyre swing at the front, the kids play area, the garden shed cubby. And so many places to explore. We also liked many practical things too for example lots of storage space (for all the stuff we are bringing back!), lots of potential room to move (so to speak), and the central gas heating. We also liked the neighbourhood, conveniently located near to the train station and great local shops with a park (huge!) and bushland down the road. Great preschool and primary school within walking distance. Safe - talked to the local police and a friend talked to some neighbours. Established neighbourhood - our research showed that properties don’t turnover very quickly so people must like living there (and we should grab the opportunity to buy now!).

I am sure it is unusual to say the least, to spend close to $1 million on a property we haven’t viewed ourselves! Certainly the internet is what this day and age are all about. We had looked at many houses on the internet over some months and the photos and write-up on this property were definitely very eye-catching. We had trusted friends and family view it and got various and varied professional opinions.

For so many objective reasons such as though listed above, we decided this property you chose was just right for us.

3 The Crescent, Pennant Hills

Thank you so much for your fabulous efforts over the past few weeks in selling our house. The price we achieved was a credit to your diligence in the process of marketing the property. The fact that we had so many people from so many other suburbs and overseas view the property, makes us very sure you reached everyone who might be interested, and so maximised the sale price. We are very satisfied with the result. On a more personal note, it was a pleasure to work with you, from the time you first viewed the property and expressed such passion, to the completion of the sale. I know some agents are not great communicators, but in your case we were always fully informed and felt comfortable knowing what progress was being made.

Once again our sincere thanks and we look forward to the next time we need your help

118/2 City View Road, Pennant Hills

We are very pleased to acknowledge the effective work of Mr Chris Khoudair of Laing + Simmons Pennant Hills, who successfully secured an excellent tenant at a good rental rate for our apartment in Pennant Hills in a much shorter time frame than we expected. The vendor of out apartment had agreed to include a new refrigerator as part of our purchase, however it was not installed at the time the lease was due to commence. Without any hesitation, Chris assisted us in installing a temporary refrigerator and, without any obligation or prompting, successfully negotiated with our vendor for the installation of the new refrigerator a few days later despite the fact that neither Chris nor Laing + Simmons Pennant Hills had any involvement with our purchase of the apartment.

We are very satisfied with the service provided by Chris and look forward to maintaining our association with Chris and Laing + Simmons Pennant Hills into the future.

401 & 312/2 City View Road, Pennant Hills

I have recently appointed Laing + Simmons Pennant Hills as manager of property under my control. I have dealt personally with Chris Khoudair and I am impressed not only with the level of professionalism he has shown me in the manner he has handled my business but also with the tenacity and enthusiasm he has displayed in getting a sometimes difficult job done. I have dealt with other agents in the past only to be let down on promises but Chris has constantly delivered on his word to me. He works hard for his clients and achieves results because he goes that extra distance and I feel confident he has my best interest in mind.

It is my pleasure to share my experience in dealing with Chris Khoudair and Laing + Simmons Pennant Hills and I am confident the staff would offer the same exceptional service to all.

53/298-312 PennantHills Road, Pennant Hills

We would like to thank you both for all the assistance that you both have provided to us over the past 2 years while renting through your office at 298 Pennant Hills Rd. You have been very helpful and professional in every way and we would highly recommend your office to any friend, family member or work colleague through your office. Thankyou as well to the rest of your family for helping Natasha and I in everyway that you guys can.

60/298-312 Pennant Hills Road, Pennant Hills

Certain vocabulary from the English Grammar has a tendency to be over used for miniscure tasks! However in this instance the common word Superb does not cover or express my families joy at the speed and accuracy in which you located a tenant for our property. Once again in a gracious thankyou. Anyone who is after extremely friendly staff with excellent track records and references desirable only by the wealthy then Laing and Simmons Pennant Hills is for you..

Regards,

Stuart and Doreen Unwin.

10 Trebor Road, Pennant Hills

I wish to express my sincere thanks to you and the members of you family staff for helping me to sell my house in 10 Trebor Road, Pennant Hills. It was my son, Stephen, who, after making enquiries with many local Estate Agents, highly recommended you to solely manage the sale of my property. Your sound advice and professional service were much valued and appreciated, and your friendly and courteous approach won my trust completely.

Thank you once again for the successful completion of the sale of my house.

407/5 City View Road, Pennant Hills

I am writing to commend both Emily and Laing and Simmons, Pennant Hills for their outstanding service in successfully selling my property 407/5 City View Road. I found Emily to be consistently courteous and communicative. She always provided me with up-to-date information and advised of any issues immediately.
As a result, I would recommend Laing and Simmons, Pennant Hills to any prospective buyer or seller without hesitation.

26 Wearne Avenue, Pennant Hills

I would like to thank you for the excellent result you achieved with the recent sale of my Pennant Hills property. As you are aware I had the property listed with three other local agents for five months without a result or any offers approaching an acceptable level. When I listed with Laing and Simmons you immediately swung into action taking personal responsibility for development of the marketing campaign. This was structured around the web based virtual tour concept and accessible by an extremely wide range of potential purchasers via the extensive Laing + Simmons franchise network. The web presentation of the property was exceptional, far superior and considerably cheaper than the promotion and advertising provided by the other agents. Consequently you had a lengthy list of prospective purchasers within a matter of days and achieved an exchange of contacts within a week after negotiating a very acceptable offer on my behalf. Your experience and knowledge of the local market gained as a long term resident of the area no doubt was a significant factor.

Once again Emily thank you for the excellent service provided.

125 Wongala Crescent, Pennant Hills

After having our property on the market for over six months, with another local agent, we would like to thank you for selling our property so quickly. We were quite shocked (pleasantly, I must say) that after signing with you on Monday evening, had the photography done on Thursday and the advertising arriving on the Internet on Friday. You then proceeded to sell it on Saturday.

Thank you for being so professional and need we say timely!

It is with great pleasure that i write this reference for the team at Laing + Simmons Pennant Hills.

The professionalism and dedication the team demonstrated throughout the selling process gave me the reassurance that this sale was in capable hands. Their service was excellent and none of my queries, no matter how small, were left unanswered. I have no hesitation in recommending Laing + Simmons Pennant Hills as selling agents and i would be delighted to offer them our repeat business.

Yours sincerely

I have found Emily Khoudair of Laing + Simmons Pennant Hills to be professional and reliable in all dealings i have had with her. She has assisted me with both residential and commercial property and in my opinion has always made every effort to deliver a good result. She is hard working and result driven and i will call her again when i have a property matter in the Pennant Hills area.

408/5 City View Rd, Pennant Hills

I just wanted to say a big thank you for your efforts in the recent sale of my unit. I have enjoyed living in the City View Appartments, but as you know, my recent marriage necessitated finding a larger home. Timing was so important, as we had to committ to another property, or surrender our expressed interest in that home. We have appreciated your courtesy and the professional way in which you marketed my property. I would be pleased to recommend your services to any prospective client, whether buying or selling. I wish you every happiness & success in the future.
