A Real Estate Career for Current and Future Sales Superstars
The History of Nerang First National
After leaving the Australian Army in 1980, Mike Gray commenced his real estate career. In 1992, Mike established Nerang First National with a vision to lift the bar of agency practices. Through a combination of innovative systems, processes, disciplines and advanced technology, Mike achieved his vision. The company’s continuing dominance of the local market place was achieved through Mike’s passion to constantly exceed the expectations of clients and customers throughout the entire buying and selling process.
The decision to join the First National network, a cooperative of independent agencies with over 550 member offices throughout Australia and New Zealand, rather than a franchise, has enabled the company to benefit from strong national branding, superb training, information sharing and industry resources’, all of which have enabled Mike and his team to fully realise his goal of being amongst the very best in the industry. The success story continues…

Point of Difference
The main Point of Difference of Nerang First National is centred on the ability to provide a support structure to the sales team to ensure that their time is primarily spent doing what they do best….. dealing with buyers and sellers.
Salespeople are professionals and their time is valuable. The management at Nerang First National understand this. That’s why salespeople don’t have to design or create advertising, drop flyers or brochures door to door, erect and dismantle signage, conduct telemarketing, design and create client newsletters, update websites, create or maintain client contact databases. At Nerang First National, all of this, which at other agencies often falls upon salespeople, is done by a large support team.
So that it can happen, the company is very system orientated, successful in integrating leading edge technology within our day to day operations. Our streamline systems of support unburden sales staff of minor and ancillary tasks. This also allows added time to undertake higher levels of training which in turn leads to improved performance and skill levels. It’s this structure of highly trained and supported personnel that ensures our clients are always receiving the best service.
