'Just a short note to offer my thanks for the very professional and courteous way in which you (and your staff) have handled the sale of my property.'

'I was greatly impressed by the frequent updates and contact you provided, especially considering that it was a relatively small sale price in a tough market. I would certainly recommend your firm to anyone looking to sell (or buy). Please pass on my thanks to the other members of your team who were always friendly and efficient.'

'Job well done!'

Waterford Terrace, Port Macquarie

'We wish to thank you for handling the recent sale of our property. We really appreciated the professional approach of yourself & your staff. Our telephone queries were always handled as quickly as possible & the attitude of staff always friendly & helpful. Appointments for inspections were made giving us plenty of time which we appreciated.'

'We were not requested to reduce the sale price of our home which suggests it was a very realistic price & we were not pressured in any way to change same.'

'We have no hesitation in recommending you & your staff to anyone we know who are intending to list their property for sale in the future. Thank you once again.'

Treetops Crescent, Port Macquarie

'Thank you for being true to your word! Wow, what a salesman!'

Florence Close, Port Macquarie

‘We have greatly appreciated everything Holly did for us in the recent purchase of our new home’.

‘At all times Holly conducted herself in a highly professional manner. Her integrity & honesty are above reproach. Holly spent a lot of time & effort on our behalf - nothing was too much trouble & Holly’s happy personality mean that we will certainly recommend her to others.’

‘For one so young, there is nothing in her service that needs improvement. We would not hesitate to use Holly’s service again.’

'Just a short letter to say thank you for the quick sale of our house & the wonderful care you showed towards us... Also thanks for our new house!'

The Point Drive, Port Macquarie

'Now that we are settled in our new home & all issues in relation to the sale of our much loved home have been completed, we would like to take this opportunity to pass on our gratitude & appreciation for the time & effort you & your staff put in during the selling of our home & purchasing of our new residence.'

'We were impressed by the “dedication & enthusiasm” you showed during our dealings that has contributed greatly to a long term relationship. We greatly appreciate the extra effort put in by you due to the fact that we were away from the area for several weeks during the sale, the slump in the sales market & the fact that settlement occurred on our purchased property prior to sale of our home resulting in some tension on our behalf.'

'We would have no hesitation in recommending you to any of our friends or any person looking to sell or purchase a property.'

O'Briens Road, Port Macquarie

'Do you want a caring, knowledgeable, professional agent to sell your home or to find the right home for you?? Look no further than Laing and Simmons and ask for Greg Trembath, he's the best!! PS. No, we're not his Mother and Father... Just a couple of happy home sellers... Thanks Greg.'

Yarra Avenue, Port Macquarie

'I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your staff, especially Andrew and Ingrid for a job well done (sometimes under difficult circumstances) in selling my daughter and son-in-law’s home in Yarra Ave, Port Macquarie.'

'The service and advice that you provided was outstanding and my wife and I appreciate your efforts.'

'Incidentally we have had a number of enquires from within the area as to what Laing & Simmons are like, we could only tell them the truth. That our experience was fantastic...'

Heather Street, Port Macquarie

'I think that my actions speak louder than words. I have dealt with Laing + Simmons (mainly Greg Trembath) for many years. The service has always been friendly, caring and successful. I can't fault the service provided by Laing + Simmons.'

Kentia Close, Port Macquarie

'It now a few of months since the sale of our home at Kentia Close Port Macquarie was completed and as you know this was the second sale you have achieved for us having sold before in Kentia Close in 2006. When we found it necessary to sell as quickly as we could and being aware that the real estate market values change from year to year our timing was indeed a disadvantage. The poor state of the market at the time was a difficulty for us; however due to your assistance success came our way.'

'We are very appreciative of your untiring efforts firstly, in finding the appropriate buyer and secondly, to achieve the price you did in such difficult market conditions at the time. We came to you for the second sale within about five years as we needed to get the quickest possible sale without having to drastically reduce our expectations. Without hesitation we chose you as our agent as we were impressed with your friendly approach and obvious up to date knowledge of values and all aspects of Real Estate in the region.'

'We are more than happy for you to show this letter to any of your clients as we have no hesitation in giving you our highest recommendation. Wishing you and your team continued success.'

Elsie Court, Port Macquarie

'Thanks for all of your help, you have been very professional, organised and honest all through the sale process.'

'One of the good guys in the field of real estate. Values and Behaviours are difficult to find in the modern world and your character exudes these qualities.'

Commodore Crescent, Port Macquarie

'For professional, diligent, hassle-free management of the sale of your real estate, I highly recommend Chris Koch & his team at Laing+Simmons Port Macquarie.'

Crisallen Street, Port Macquarie

'Greg, I think you are very professional in your manner and presentation. The way the sale of my unit was managed made me feel confident right from the beginning. I felt that I could trust your responses to my questions and that you would achieve the best result possible. You did not hesitate to bring buyers to the door and you gave me feedback the same day.'

'Really I could not fault your service or professionalism. I would not hesitate to refer you to friends or family. I was happy with the negotiation of the sale price, and the fact you were available on weekends to discuss the sale as well meant a lot. Improvement ~ I really could not add anything, the whole experience was positive and I felt at every point that I could contact you and receive advice and feedback, and assistance (i.e. the cleaning). Thank you for your expeditious and completely professional response throughout the course of the sale of my unit.'

Lord Street, Port Macquarie

'We have used Greg in three real estate transactions over several years. Two have been sales and one a purchase. The most recent was probably the hardest as it was an older building that some years ago had a termite attack. Even though there was no evidence of current activity some potential buyers were spooked by this. Greg's diligence in marketing the property did not wane until we had a buyer and we would recommend his services to anyone.'

Oceanview Terrace, Port Macquarie

'We found Greg Trembath of Laing + Simmons most courteous at all times. Greg handled our proeprty most discreetly & was always concerned not to intrude on our privacy. We were kept informed after all open houses & updated when necessary. Greg would follow up all leads'.

'Our property sold in 5 weeks and we made a sensible negotiation. We were happy with the sale price. Settlement was handled quickly & without problems. In the future I would most certainly deal with Greg - he was a man of integrity, & also made us feel very comfortable'.

Grant Street, Port Macquarie

'It is with great pleasure that I sit down on behalf of my husband Paul and I, to say a huge thank you to yourself, Holly & Mel. In such a short period of time you’ve made some very special dreams come true for our family.'

'It started with a ‘bit of a look’ at a house we saw on the internet five weeks ago, and we now have a date to move into that same house that we both fell in love with. The first step in the process of course was to sell the beautiful home we already had, and we have. Thanks to the great professionalism, friendliness and outstanding customer service we received. Not to mention the great advertising campaign and the fantastic industry knowledge and experience you gave us. We achieved our sale in a really tough market.'

'On the very same day we sold we started the purchase process of our dream home, thankfully still on the market and it is now officially ours. Some might consider this to be a whirlwind, as there was so much going on in such a short period of time. I can truly say you were the person who made the time easy and pleasurable. Over the last 42 days I’d suggest you’ve spoken or had some form of communication with me 37 of them. You kept us informed all the time of market interest, success of open houses and most importantly educated us around the auction process we were undertaking with our sale. Not to mention that seven Laing & Simmons staff plus the auctioneer were present on auction day. I’ve never spoken to a single person who has had this experience with a real estate agent and it is a credit to yourself, Holly, Mel and the Laing and Simmons team.'

'I’m the first to admit that I have very high expectations around customer service and they have well been exceeded. Congratulations.'

'It’s simple really, I wouldn’t deal with anybody else!'

Munster Street, Port Macquarie

'We have had two transactions with Greg Trembath. The first being the purchase of a unit in Port Macquarie in which Greg was involved as the salesman. That purchase was basically done by phone from a considerable distance. We considered him to be highly professional, diplomatic & true to his word - a genuinely nice person.'

'When deciding to sell the unit, we knew that Greg had become a Principal of Laing & Simmons in Port Macquarie, & with all confidence we naturally asked him to sell it for us. We do not believe that Greg could have done any more than what was done to generate interest - the exposure was excellent.'

'Perhaps our expectations were built a little too high when it came to a selling price, but we do accept the fact that we were selling at a difficult time on a declining market, but needed to complete a sale by a certain time - and Greg did not disappoint us. He worked extremely hard to obtain our sale & we would not hesitate to deal with him in any future dealings. We highly recommend Laing & Simmons Port Macquarie, with Greg as a Principal.'

Astronomers Terrace, Port Macquarie

'My experience of selling my Mum's home in Astronomers Terrace, Port Macquarie was both frustrating and positive.'

'The frustrations came about on account of both the difficult market and the unique nature of the home being sold, in that it was never going to suit all lookers.'

'The positive aspects of the selling came from my interaction with Chris Koch of Laing and Simmons, who I found to be honest and upfront at all times. I also found him to be persevering, polite and patient, he kept me informed of the situation at all times, and most importantly he did not make any unreasonable demands regarding the presentation of the home. Such demands would have been difficult to carry out, given I was residing in Sydney, and would have added to those frustrations which were uncontrolable.'

'In the end, the best possible result was achieved and all parties were satisfied.'

Alkina Avenue, Port Macquarie

'Greg Trembath is very knowledgeable, personable and passionate regarding the real estate industry. We found his dealings from our initial meeting until final sale to be very open and friendly. He always kept us up to date and was very efficient in ensuring that our property was listed ready for sale very quickly.'

'Laing & Simmons seem to have a large list of potential buyers which assisted in ensuring we had a very quick sale of our property. We would not hesitate in recommending anyone to utilise Greg Trembath’s services. We will definitely be using him again when the time comes to sell.'

Granite Street, Port Macquarie

'My recent decision to appoint Chris Koch & his team to sell a Granite Street property in every sense was a good one. Not an easy property to market, Chris handled all aspects of the procedure most professionally resulting in a satisfactory result.'

'Market strategy, reviews of target market, inspections, offers & the decision to sell were all fully discussed & decided with myself from 'go to wo'.'

'I appreciate the exceptional service provided & would certainly recommend most highly using Laing+Simmons and in particular, Chris Koch in the marketing & sale of your property.'

Emily Avenue, Port Macquarie

'We are writing to thank you for your involvement in the sale of our home at Emily Avenue. Chris, we really appreciated your professionalism & friendly manner over the three month period of the listing.'

'Ingrid's persistence & hard work with the purchaser, which resulted in smooth completion of the sale of our home, was awesome to say the least! Ingrid kept us informed of every contact and inspection, & gave us honest feedback each time. We enjoyed her 'down to earth' approach & her sense of humour under pressure.'

'Please do not hesitate to use our experience as a recommendation to prospective vendors/purchasers!'

Hill Street, Port Macquarie

‘Thank you for the effort & time you’ve put into selling our rental property, especially with there being a lease that when you took the property on still had over six months to run.’

‘Throughout the process, you’ve been easy to deal with & contact, & have been patient with the process, us & also importantly the tenant. Thanks for being interested & interesting, & giving us a good sale experience & outcome.’

‘We’d recommend you to anyone who is looking to sell or buy & if we purchase or sell again, we will be in contact.’

Kennedy Drive, Port Macquarie

'We would like to thank you for your patience & commitment shown through selling our property. Through a challenging time in the market you appreciated our situation & were always professional & open about what we could expect throughout the sales process.'

‘It was great to have such an experienced team looking after the sale. We were pleased with the agreed listed price for the property & even more pleased with an agreed sale within 2 weeks of listing the property with Laing+Simmons. The attention to detail in presenting & promoting our property so promptly certainly assisted us in getting a sale so quickly.’

‘We found that you & your team always acted with utmost professionalism & kept us informed throughout every step of the process. Thank you so much for all your efforts & assistance with our sale, we will have no hesitation in recommending Laing+Simmons to anyone we know who is looking to sell a property.’

King Street, Port Macquarie

'Over many years of property purchases & sales, I have dealt with a number of real estate agents. Kristian is without a doubt the most professional, efficient, & down-to-earth agent I have encountered.'

'In all aspects of the sale, he gave excellent advice, reflecting his knowledge of the real estate scene in the Port Macquarie area. He kept us informed at every stage of the selling process & secured a very satisfactory price for our property.'

'I have no hesitation in recommending Kristian to anyone who may be comtemplating buying or selling real estate & would most definately engage his services if I was considering further real estate dealings in the Port Macquarie area.'

Magnolia Place, Port Macquarie

'Andrew was professional, knowledgable, friendly & very thorough in his dealings with us, & his advice resulted in a quick sale at a fair price which we were very happy with.'

'We have dealt with other agents in the area, but chose Laing+Simmons & Andrew Meldrum in particular to sell our property as we believe they provide the best service in Port Macquarie.'

'We have no hesitation in recommending Andrew to anyone who is either buying or selling real estate in Port Macquarie & we wish him continued success in the future.'

Banksia Place, Port Macquarie

‘I would like to thank yourself & the team at Laing+Simmons for all the assistance you have given us. We have lived in Port Macquarie for over five years & in that time, have bought two homes & sold one. All transactions have gone through your office.’

'What we were most impressed about during these transactions was the way yourself & the office truly showed friendliness & professionalism. But the most outstanding feature of your service provided is the honesty. I have been a salesman for most of my life & honesty in your profession is a rare commodity.’

‘We wish yourself & the team at Laing+Simmons all the success in the future. We would also recommend yourself & the team for all Real Estate needs.’

Livingstone Road, Port Macquarie

'When I asked Greg Trembath to call in to discuss putting my house on the market I was pleasantly surprised at how well he had researched recent properties sold in my area before he arrived. He was courteous and friendly and in no way did I feel pressured into listing the house with him or even agreeing to the price range he suggested. Because I felt comfortable with his low key approach I felt confident in giving him the selling rights to the house.'

'He constantly kept in touch with me to update me on the marketing of the house. The surprise was when the house sold the first day it was on the market. I have recommended him to all friends who asked me which agent sold the house and would have no hesitation in employing his services should I need to sell or buy property again.'

Hindman Street, Port Macquarie

‘Billy & I would like to thank you for your handling of our sale. We knew we had met a lovely person in 2003 when you sold us the property & 7 years on, you are still the same lovely person’.

‘Would you also thank your husband for us for checking the place while it was empty’.

Parklands Avenue, Port Macquarie

‘We are writing to thank you for selling our home. As you are aware, it was your professional attitude & track record that initially motivated us to select you as the agent to sell our home. Having now experienced this process, we can genuinely say that you have exceeded our expectations at every phase of the sale.’

‘Your communication was outstanding; specifically you struck the perfect balance between keeping us informed while working busily behind the scenes & contacting us only when necessary. This was highly appreciated when many other things were also happening for our family at that time!’

‘In addition to your excellent communication skills, we were also extremely impressed by your integrity & commitment to the sale of our home & your profession. We would also like to mention that whenever we were asked who was selling our home; your name was always met with a positive reaction!’

‘Sincere thanks & best wishes…’

Laguna Place, Port Macquarie

'This is the second time we have asked for Kristian's services & we did so as he makes a total commitment from day one to sell the property.'

'Kristian's knowledge of the local area & realistic market prices is exceptional & no matter how busy he was, he was always available to answer any questions we had - nothing was too much trouble. Kristian's open, friendly disposition made it a pleasure to have him in our home on 'open house' days & he always informed us honestly of what the prospective buyers thought.'

'His negotiations of the sale price were very professional & we would highly recommend him to others selling their property.'

Hamlyn Drive, Port Macquarie

‘We would have no hesitation in referring you. We were extremely happy with the service we received from you; you made selling our home a pleasant experience. As you know, we had lived there for almost 18 years, so it wasn’t an easy thing for us to do, but you made it very easy for us.’

‘You kept us well informed as to what was happening, & never left us wondering how things were going. Thank you once again.’

Denning Place, Port Macquarie

'You will recall Gail and I have experienced two real estate transactions in which you were the agent. The first was during late 2004/early 2005 when we purchased No 6 Denning Place, Port Macquarie. The second occasion was during the later months of 2010 when we sold the same property. When we bought the Denning Place property we were most favourably impressed by your skill and your pleasant personality. You were patient in showing us a selection of appropriate homes and candid in answering all of our questions. At no time did you exert pressure upon us to reach a decision. We felt comfortable in dealing with you and our trust was rewarded when we made a desirable purchase.'

'At that time we decided, if ever we were to sell, you would be our agent of choice. We made that determination because we place a high value on ethical behaviour and professional skill. We would want any purchaser of our property to feel they had made a sensible decision, obtained fair value for money and were generally satisfied. We were confident you would ensure that those conditions obtained while also looking after our interests as vendors. As you know, we did eventually sell the property. Recalling prior experience in dealing with you, we did not seek competitive quotes from other agencies before asking you to manage the sale.'

'During the sales and advertising period you maintained the same high level of ethical professionalism we had experienced previously. Once again, any question was attended to promptly and effectively. We were kept informed of all progress and related matters. You were flexible in meeting of our specified requirements. You were supported by a highly skilled team. We were very impressed by, for example, the standard and quantity of photographs taken and used for advertising. The advertising portrayed our property superbly and created sales opportunities. We believe we obtained a fair market price for the property and that the purchasers also could be well satisfied.'

'We would have no hesitation in recommending you as a real estate agent to either a prospective purchaser or to a vendor.'

Herschell Street, Port Macquarie

'I selected Andrew for the task of marketing the property as a result of my association with him in a previous real estate transaction.'

'Andrew is a very good communicator with a thorough knowledge of the Port Macquarie market. This was of great assistance to me when agreeing on a fair & reasonable selling price for my property. Throughout the period of the marketing process, Andrew kept me informed of progress towards a sale. He was also very helpful in making constructive suggestions which ultimately led to his attracting a buyer who was prepared to pay my asking price. I was impressed that he became actually involved in assisting me in putting these suggestions in place. The extent of his preparedness to help went far beyond what one might expect of a real estate agent.'

'Being a very approachable & sensible person, Andrew is able to use these two attributes to help reduce the stress that can be associated with a real estate transaction. I was very satisfied with the way Andrew went about the task of selling my property & I would be pleased to recommend Andrew to others looking to enter the real estate market.'

Buller Street, Port Macquarie

'I just wanted to say thank you for all that you have done for me. I honestly appreciate all your efforts in the purchase of my investment property. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you again for helping me achieve another property milestone in my life. I never dreamt that 12 mths ago I could own one unit, let alone two.'

'I feel very fortunate to have walked into Laing+Simmons in the July holidays this year as it was the first step in achieving a dream that was unaffordable to me in Sydney. I feel so blessed to have met Chris who was the only agent who believed in me & treated me with dignity despite only looking a the 'cheaper' units.'

Blueberry Lane

'I was happy with the way you handled the sale. With phone calls and visits from you. I appreciated the friendliness and honesty from you and the limited time with your wife on open days. Like all sales, more money would of been nice, but what we ended up with, I was pleased. I would definitely recommend you to others and would use your services again.'

Scarborough Close, Port Macquarie

'Having purchased our existing home with you, we felf we know you & your skills in real estate. So when we decided to sell our investment property unit we approached you first. You set a realistic price and provided reasons to set this figure'.

'We received constant feedback right through the sale. Knowing what was happening was a relief. Yes, we would, & have recommended your service to friends & family. If the opportunity arose we would certainly be approaching you to negotiate our next sale & purchase with your company'.

'We feel now that we have found a true friend & professional'.

Waugh Street, Port Macquarie

‘I found the service of you & your agency excellent. The unique thing was the attention to detail that was shown & the professionalism that was demonstrated. I believe that it was these things that added to a successful & quick sale.’

‘It also made a difference that you were always available when contacted. I appreciated the feedback that was always given as well. I believe that you treat every sale & every property as unique & individual & this really helps market the property effectively.’

‘I would certainly use your services again & would recommend you to anyone looking for a reliable & professional agent.’

Christina Circuit, Port Macquarie

'I found Greg to be extemely honest, most helpful and nothing was a trouble to him. He was available, which was most important to me, and when called on went above and beyond his normal duties, like connecting a washing machine out of hours.'

'I would most certainly recommend him to anyone wanting to buy or sell their property, knowing he would always do the right thing by them.
The price obtained for my property in the current market was a reasonable one. I would definitely use his services should I sell or purchase again, with no hesitation. I found his knowledge of the market up to date, and he was most courteous and professional in all our dealings. You have no need to change Greg, be like that ad "keep on keeping on" the way you are! '

Portside Crescent, Port Macquarie

‘I wanted to take this opportunity not only to thank you immensely as our agent for the recent sale of our home but also to offer our personal commendation.’

‘After meeting you briefly during another property inspection, it was an easy decision to make who our agent was going to be, your integrity, humanity & courteous manner was obvious from the onset. These qualities with the backing of a reputable agency proved to be a winning combination.’

‘We expected the sale of our house was never going to be a quick & easy process given the quantity of homes on the market & the fact that very little around us had sold after being on the market for extensive periods of time…. I underestimated your ability!’

During the entire process you offered well structured advice & immeasurable patience, we really are grateful of your contributions. Ten weeks into the agreement, we had a sold sign out the front & you had achieved an industry level not reached by many agents for some time, a premium result’.

‘We highly recommend you as an outstanding agent & look forward to any future dealings.’

Kelvin Grove, Port Macquarie

'Having known you for many years, we were confident that you would be fully focused & always keep us in the picture of what was happening. Your marketing process which is probably unique in Port Macquarie, your professionalism & your attention to our needs we feel sets you apart as a first class agent & a genuine caring person.'

'A simple thank you seems inadequate in this instance but it's meant with genuine sincerity'.

Marian Drive, Port Macquarie

‘Thank you for all your energy & hard work selling my home. Your friendly nature & pleasant personality made the stressful time in selling my home somewhat easier. Your knowledge of the local area & the needs of the local community are second to none. Your professionalism & knowledge of the local real estate market was evident when marketing strategies were required to be reviewed or adjusted.’

‘Dealing with you was like talking to a friend, you were always available to listen to my concerns or answer any questions, you were never too busy to take time to contact me with regular updates of the sale, nor were you too busy to take my calls, or return my calls as soon as able, no matter what time of the day.’

‘At no time did I feel like you were only interested in my property as a financial gain to you, or the company you represent, you appeared to be genuinely interested in assisting helping me with a step in my life.’

Bauhinia Avenue, Port Macquarie

'Gavin & myself would like to thank you for finding us our new home. Chris, your service was impeccable & so professional the whole way through the process. You understood what we were looking for & delivered beyond our expectation. There were no delays or hiccups & we even settled in just three weeks… You can feel assured that we will definitely recommend you to everyone we know.'

Hassall Street, Port Macquarie

‘It is with great pleasure that I recommend Kristian Murphy as a sales rep for Laing+Simmons Port Macquarie. Kristian was responsible for the sale of my property in Hassall Street in September 2009. In that time, Kristian provided service well beyond my expectations, from organising hassle (pardon the pun) free house inspections to continual updates on the progress from start to finish.’

‘More importantly, Kristian provided reliable & honest advice & getting the sale across the line at the best price & with quick results. I believe his demonstration of honesty & solid market knowledge resulted in getting the price & outcome I desired.’

‘It was satisfying to work with an agent that broke the mould of the ‘Real Estate/Car Salesman’ reputation, & with his exceptional work ethic & integrity, I believe Kristian has a long & well established career ahead of him. I wish him well; I know he certainly doesn’t need luck.’

Luton Court, Port Macquarie

‘When it came time to sell our house, we looked to Laing+Simmons because of their reputation in Port Macquarie & our prior dealings with them. However we specifically asked to deal with Kristian because he came highly recommended from friends.’

‘From our first meeting with Kristian, we were impressed. He was professional, personable & honest. Not only did Kristian have his finger on the pulse in terms of what he thought our property was worth, he also made a point of giving us a realistic price guide to work with. We discussed what our bottom line was, & the price we were hoping to obtain for our house. He did all the leg work for us – from organising promotional materials, to open houses, to private viewings, all the while keeping in regular contact with us.’

‘Kristian managed to seal the deal, getting us the price we wanted for our house, & going above & beyond the call of duty to tidy up the finer points of negotiation required to get the contracts exchanged. In many ways, he took on the headache for us!’

‘One of the pieces of advice Kristian gave us was to keep in mind the bigger picture – not to get hung up on the sale of the current house at the cost of missing out on the next chapter of our lives. Thanks to this advice, we are now thoroughly enjoying our new home, & plan on being here a long, long time! Thanks Kristian for a job well done!’

Surf Street, Port Macquarie

‘I am writing to thank you for the great service provided by Laing+Simmons & particularly Kristian Murphy in selling our property.’

‘Kristian was always very friendly & regularly kept us up to date with any interested buyers, or feedback from potential buyers following an open home. I really appreciate the respect & attention that he paid us even though our property was the cheapest on the market.’

‘I had joked that he would be able to retire on the commission from the sale & Kristian said he would be able to buy himself a long neck & a happy meal! Thanks again for the service, I will not hesitate to use your services again & Kristian’s if he hasn’t retired.’

Hart Street, Port Macquarie

‘It was recommended to me that I talk to Kristian when I was relocating to another area and thinking of selling my house. Kristian was extremely helpful. He was always keen to show people through, hold open house and discuss with me the best options for achieving a successful sale. He always kept in contact with me and kept me informed of what was happening during the sale process.’

‘I also had a rental property which was not listed with Laing+Simmons at the time that I was having problems with and I found myself ringing Kristian for advice. I knew that he would be honest and give me sound advice on the problems that I was experiencing. I listed it with him and it was sold, exchanged and settled in just four weeks.’

‘During the selling process I knew that he would take care of everything & I would not have to worry, which certainly was the case. For me I will be forever thankful for his honesty, integrity & communication before during & after the sale of the home.’

The Beam, Port Macquarie

'We would like to take this opportunity to thank both yourself, Chris Koch & the entire team at Laing+Simmons for your exceptional service during the recent sale of our property. Right from the outset, your enthusiasm & professionalism was clearly superior to another agency who had unsuccessfully listed our property for an extended period.'

'The level of buyer interest generated by you & your team, even prior to the commencement of formal advertising, was way above our expectations & a most positive reflection upon your agency. Not only was the interest converted to a very quick sale, but the market price your agency achieved was above what we were led to believe the property would realise in what your competitors considered a depressed market. Needless to say, we couldn’t be any more satisfied with the level of service provided by Laing+Simmons, and we will certainly be recommending your agency to anyone contemplating real estate transactions.'

'Once again, our sincere thanks & congratulations on an outstanding result.’

Sherana Place, Port Macquarie

‘Just a short note to thank you so sincerely for the support you have offered our family, in particular over the last 2 years.’

‘As you remember, my mum & dad visited your office over 6 years ago seeking a nice little home for them to buy & live in the next phase of their lives. The spoke with you a number of times & sought comfort in your advice which ended in them securing a property through your agency in Port Macquarie.’

‘Over the years, mum & dad would often talk about you & how you kept in touch with them to see how they were settling in their new home & in Port Macquarie. It was a comfort to know that mum & dad ended up very satisfied with their new home give it was such a change for them to come from the far north coast in the mid 70’s & not knowing anyone.’

‘Having bought & sold a number of homes myself over the years, I have come across agents who promise unrealistic outcomes which results in bitter disappointment. It was pleasing to know that you & your team were not like that at all.’

‘As failing health commenced for both my mum & dad 3 years ago, you always gave them time & advice as they were unsure what to do & whether they should move elsewhere. My mum & dad would have been so proud to have seen their little home which they spent some terrific years together being sold for a price that doubled in value in 6 years.’

‘Thank you Greg for your personal & genuine way in which you dealt with my mum & dad & your team who always greeted them with a smile & an offer of a cup of tea when the visited your agency for assistance.’

Gardenia Avenue, Port Macquarie

‘On behalf of my husband Greg & myself, I would like to say how appreciative we are of the professionalism, friendliness & overall beyond the call of duty that Chris has provided to us both during & after the purchase of our home in Port Macquarie.’

‘We have been completely thrown by the service he has provided us, which we believe is normally provided to a vendor not a purchaser.’

‘I had the task of purchasing our home over the internet whilst living in the Snowy Mountains. With many phone calls to Chris after hours, including Sunday nights, he was never too busy to answer my questions. Whilst purchasing our home he made us feel that there was never a drama.’

‘After exchange is where we were truly astounded with Chris’ service. When normally agents seem to drop off the face of the earth once the deal is sealed, Chris still kept in contact. ‘Just checking to see if there is anything I can do for you’ were calls made to us in the Snowys. ‘Just checking how everything is going with the move’ – prior to our big move. ‘Hope you are all settling in well’ or ‘Call me any time if I can help you in any way’ were calls after we had moved in. But the biggest surprise was still yet to come. Chris even found my husband a job!!! After having lived in Port for a month, doing the rounds of all the building sites & calling all the builders in the phone book, it was Chris who kept calling us with job prospects. And then bingo, one of Chris’ leads has paid off with Greg starting work on Monday with a local builder.’

‘We can not put into words the gratitude that we feel for Chris. In return we will do all we can to promote his business & will not only be calling on Chris for future listings & purchasing of investments, but telling all who will listen to make sure they do the same.’

‘Chris you have our total admiration as a salesperson. Over the years we have had the good fortune of many dealings in real estate, but Chris you take the cake. No one has ever come close to the service you have provided us. Chris we thank you whole heartedly & hope this letter shows others what a great person you are.’

Raven Hill, Port Macquarie

'When we made the decision to sell our much loved home, we wanted to have an agent who would be enthusiastic, honest, energetic & have good
communication skills, as we wanted to be kept informed with all aspects of the sale. Chris was our choice, as he had all the attributes we were looking for. He is very pleasant, patient, nothing was a problem for him, and he definitely went the extra mile for us, as well as the purchaser.'

'Chris never let us down, keeping us informed at all times. Phone calls were answered promptly, & within a short time Chris had a sold sign up in front of our house. After the sale of our property Chris again excelled at going above the call of duty, to show us places that we may find suitable, & spent a lot of time seeking out homes that suited our criteria. Now that we have settled into our new home, Chris has made several calls to keep in touch.'

'We have no hesitation in recommending Chris to anyone who is looking to sell their property, & know Chris will do a great job.'

Wyandra Crescent, Port Macquarie

'Within 2 weeks of listing with Laing+Simmons, Ingrid had organised a buyer for our property, and she proceeded through to settlement with extreme efficiency, constant feedback, availability, good humour, high professionalism & focussed dedication. Her ability to go from A to Z is an abject lesson in how real estate sales should be conducted by all. Ingrid does her profession, her industry & her company great credit. As a consequence of our transaction, we have no hesitation in highly recommending Laing+Simmons Port Macquarie, & of course Ingrid, to any person contemplating buying or selling in Port Macquarie'.

'Thank you very much for the very professional & enjoyable sale of our property - NOBODY could have done better!'
