Laing + Simmons |Hornsby November Newsletter
A note from our Principal‌ At this time of the year owners who are looking to sell, often ask when is the best time to sell? Before Christmas or wait until mid-January? The good news is that both can work just as well. In the lead up to Christmas, many agencies slow down or close over the break. The Laing + Simmons team will be working up to and over the Christmas Holidays. Some of our best sales have been made at this time, as there is less stock on the market, buyers have more time on their hands and are keen to make a purchase before Christmas so they can be in and ready for the school year . If you would like further advice about selling over the Christmas period please contact one of our experienced staff today. Matt Effenberg Managing Director | Laing+Simmons, Hornsby
