Knight Frank Australia continues to expand its Prestige Residential presence in Sydney, with another luxury residential property expert joining the sales team. 

William Laing has taken on the role of Senior Sales Executive at Knight Frank’s head office at Angel Place in Sydney’s Pitt Street after moving from The Agency in Sydney’s eastern suburbs, where he was a Property Partner. 

Mr Laing has experience selling Luxury Residential property across the Sydney basin, concentrating on the Eastern Suburbs and both the Upper and Lower North Shore. 

He said it was an exciting time to join the Knight Frank Prestige Residential space.

“I believe the opportunity at Knight Frank is unparalleled, as it is the only company-owned international prestige firm in Sydney with genuine relationships with their colleagues in prestige markets around the world,” he said. 

“On a domestic level, the success of the One Barangaroo project provides a neat synthesis between my existing relationships and network of UHNW clients."

Mr Laing's appointment comes less than two weeks after Knight Frank announced it had recruited experienced agents Adam Ross and Oliver Stillman to the team.

Head of Prestige Residential Deborah Cullen said the team's expansion was a response to the market.

"Demand for prestige residential real estate in Australia continues to grow, particularly in Sydney, and we see no sign of this abating in the future," she said.

“In addition to William’s experience in prestige residential sales, he also brings a background in Private Wealth and retail banking to Knight Frank, which assists him in servicing a complete trusted advisor role across his clients’ portfolio of property assets."

Knight Frank’s Prestige Residential team focuses primarily on prestige Australian residential sales of over A$3 million while also assisting ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) clients with a full portfolio advisory service. 

Knight Frank Australia Partner and Chief Executive Officer Rod Leaver said he was pleased to see the continuing growth in Sydney’s Prestige Residential team, particularly at a time with the market was exhibiting strength. 

“This addition will see our presence in the Australian market grow further, strengthening the team and its offering to clients,” he said. 

“Our Prestige Residential experts will work with our global network of agents positioned around the world, including in Asia Pacific, the UK, Africa and throughout Europe and the Middle East, as well as Douglas Elliman Fine Homes in the US.”
