It also sees experienced Western Sydney real estate experts Prerna Sharma and Ricky Sanan join the Laing+Simmons family in the growing region.
The team is focused on bringing a complete suite of services to the Doonside, Glendenning, Woodcroft and Bungarribee markets.
It’s an area, Ms Sharma says, which offers people the full life-cycle of housing choices.
“There’s plenty of choice for buyers in this area with existing homes at price points suitable for first home buyers, larger freestanding residences on big blocks for upgraders and growing families, apartments and townhomes for investors, even granny flat options providing attractive returns.
It’s a diverse real estate market for a diverse local population,” Ms Sharma says.
With the doors now open, Ms Sharma and Mr Sanan are turning their attention to growing their market share while building the team with local talent keen to buy-in to the business’s philosophy.
“We are a family business built on relationships with our customers and our community, including the local Punjabi community, and these relationships will underpin our growth.
With the help of Laing+Simmons, we are looking to welcome talented agents to the team who share our values and prioritise strong relationships, just as we do,” Mr Sanan says.
As a unique example of organic growth, the opening of Laing+Simmons Doonside|Glendenning is a major milestone for the network.
Ms Sharma was formerly a key member of the Laing+Simmons Quakers Hill team.
Her move into business ownership was made possible by the company’s training and development program.
Through her individually-tailored growth pathway, Ms Sharma successfully built her sales expertise and complemented this with property management skills before, with the support of Laing+Simmons head office, taking the next step in her career as Principal of Laing+Simmons Doonside|Glendenning.
Laing+Simmons Head of People & Growth Jacqui Barnes has relished being part of the Laing+Simmons Doonside|Glendenning team’s growth journey.
“Our approach is focused on identifying and nurturing talented people, then training and developing those people personally and professionally.
Part of the journey we take with our people is to provide genuine career path opportunities, including the move into business ownership for those with the skills and ambition to continue their growth journey with us for the long-term,” Ms Barnes says.
“We’re proud to welcome Prerna and Ricky to the business ownership realm and together, supporting and celebrating their success.
Their deep knowledge and strong standing in the local community make them the ideal team to represent our brand in this major growth area.
“Our growth strategy remains ambitious and we look forward to building on our strong start to the year by attracting more talented, ambitious and passionate people to Laing+Simmons in 2026 and beyond,” she says.
