In a positive sign for the brand’s regional expansion, Laing+Simmons is moving into Lithgow.
The man tasked with leading and growing the new office, Graham Hodson, is Lithgow born and bred.
According to a statement from the network, Mr Hodson will add a wealth of local knowledge and experience in a range of real estate suites, from residential to industrial and commercial, to the new team.
Having spent 10 of his 20-plus years servicing the region, Mr Hodson’s new office, which opens today (1 June 2022), will offer a host of services to the local market, including sales, leasing, property management, auction services, and project marketing.
He has cited the changing nature of the real estate industry, such as the increased infiltration of technology, as a key factor behind his decision to rebrand.
“The rebrand to Laing+Simmons is an acknowledgement that real estate is evolving, new technology is having a profound impact, and real estate training has taken on a whole new importance,” he said.
“The corporate support, targeted training and mentoring that the real estate professionals of today and tomorrow require has evolved in line with the new customer demands.”
Head of growth and development at Laing+Simmons, Harriet Saunders, said the addition of a Lithgow office is a strategic one as it expands further into regional NSW.
“Our expansion plan centres on working with the best agents with extensive local experience and deep community ties in key locations across the state,” she stated.
“Graham and his team at Lithgow are therefore an ideal fit with the Laing+Simmons brand and we look forward to working together for many years to come.”
Laing+Simmons chief executive Leanne Pilkington has also welcomed the new team to the brand and expressed her pride in their acquisition.
“The Laing+Simmons Lithgow team are very well-known in the community and their reputation for customer service is without peer in the local market. We’re proud to welcome Graham and the team to Laing+Simmons,” Ms Pilkington said.
The new office is already in growth mode, with Mr Hodson revealing recruitment has started for a number of roles across the company.
