Thank you Andrew Davidson and Nerang First National for selling our home and finding the right home we purchased in Clagiraba. Andrew knew what we were looking for and he was right, 100% right. Andrew was always on time, not pushy with advertising, which I really respected as I don’t like pushy people. Thank you for our selling houses Australia experience, it was life changing, we made lifetime friends from the crew. The support staff were always happy and helpful with everything at Nerang First National.

We were really happy from the first time we met them, as they were very straight forward with us from the beginning. Very professional in what they do. We only wish all real estate agents were honest & reliable as them! I would recommend them to friends and family if they need to move to the Gold Coast.
Wolfgang, Penny & Rachel Rothlein
Just a short note to thank you for your lovely 2nd anniversary letter to us & Christmas card, it is very nice to still be remembered after all this time. The house is great, we are still renovating, we always seem to find something to improve. Thanks again and we hope you & your team have a safe, happy Christmas & New Year.

Mesuda Pizovic
The service provided by Shawn Barber was fantastic and we recommend him highly. He is open, friendly, and very helpful – and willing to go the extra mile. No matter how busy Shawn may have been with other matters, he made us feel as if we were the only people he was looking after.
Jo & Tony Douglas
Ray & Joanne were very good, not pushy. Let us inspect the place a few times. This is a very important, for some people the biggest investment, so to be allowed to view the place you’re paying so much for makes the process less stressful.
Sean & Cara Berkeley
When our clients and customers take the time to write to us about their buying and selling experience – we like to share it. Below are excerpts from the many letters we continually receive every day. The originals are kept in display folders at our reception for any welcome visitor to read. Here’s hoping we get a chance to impress you too!
Steven is outstandingly cheerful & pleasant to deal with!

From a buyer perspective, we would also like to thank you sincerely for your assistance with our new home. You constantly kept us up to date with what was happening, and we happy to see us or speak to us at any time of the day. I think we can say without a doubt, that you are the most professional, friendly and committed estate agent that we have ever dealt with. Not that we intend selling anytime within the near future, but when the time does come, you’ll be on the top of our list.
Chris will be around to pick up the keys after work – we have been told that it has all settled without a hitch, which is fantastic.
Michelle and Chris Haddad
My wife & I were thrilled by the service & performance provided by Shawn & the team during the sale of our Mudgeeraba investment property. As we live in the Hunter Valley of NSW attempts to personally oversee the properties sale involved the tyranny of distance. however, Shawn took all of the mystery, worry & uncertainty out of the exercise, which made the whole process a pleasure to be involved with.
Robert Smillie
Thank-you Ray & the team at NFN. You put so much work into the sale of our house & we appreciate your wonderful service
Brandie Davies
This was the 3rd property we have purchased through NFN, but more specifically with the help of Julie M.Kemp. She knows what we want, what we need and has taken the time to get to know us and our goals. We appreciate immensely Julie’s honesty & integrity in property dealings. We would not purchase ANY real estate anywhere without her input & advice
Aleeta Micallef & Claudine Battistuzzi
Andrew was very helpful and went out of his way to help and assist us over a long settlement. I am very pleased with the purchase & service of the agency

Thank you so much Steve, you listened to us & absorbed our requests & requirements and followed through to the end. You were polite, friendly & courteous but not at all “pushy” like so many other agents. Thanks again Steve, if there is a next time for us, then you are who we will ring
Jim & Sandy Ferguson
I’m very happy with my beautiful home and how the actual sale & purchase went through. Thanks for the lovely gift. Really appreciated.
Michelle Watts
A quick note to thank you very much for your letter wishing us a happy anniversary. It means a lot to us knowing that you care enough to send it and even more so to attach the lotto tickets. It’s due to this professional follow up service that every time friends say they are looking for houses I tell them to contact you and your team
Kaz & Russel Braid

After searching the market for sometime, First National’s dedication & salespeople were far ahead of other real estates we had dealt with.

Nothing was too much trouble for Steve, he helped us in every way possible. Even after settlement, Steve kept in contact with us until we moved to the Gold Coast – on arrival he presented us with a lovely house warming gift
Belinda & Ben Ashworth
Since looking for somewhere to rent, I have been to all the real estate offices locally & other suburbs, and I would like to make a special thanks to your receptionist Janelle. She is by far the most professional & co-operative of them all.

Wasa Fisher & Judy Barry-Cotter
Was a pleasure having you sell our home. You were all very professional & we loved the quick phone back service. Wouldn’t hesitate to do business with First National Nerang.
John Stuart
Confused with the super slow processing of our sale of our house in NSW and followed by the treatment of Real Estate agents on the Gold Coast our dealings with First National were a breath of fresh air.
Bill Conume
Recently you sold my property at 22 Souter Street, Nerang. I write to thank you for the highly professional manner in which you conducted business . From the outset you amenable to my desires, even frustrations, and yet you were always willing to be of service and assistance. I was especially impressed with the weekly written updates on the number of inspections and their responses, the information on competing properties and your recommendations and words of encouragement and support.
C. John Millar
I would like to write a few words to express my appreciation for the way your company has successfully marketed our property within a short period of time. This obviously was a great relief for my wife as it can be stressful having strange people inspecting your home.
Dean Abela
The market appraisal provided by First National at the time of listing as to the estimate sale price were overall accurate and realistic and met our expectations as owners. We found the management and staff of Nerang First National to display honesty and integrity in their dealings with us, qualities sadly lacking in the Real Estate Industry today
Graeme Smith LREA
I met you after being referred by a friend, nearly 5 months after first listing with another agent. Your advice was frank, straight forward and quite different from the advice I had been receiving from our previous agent. Whilst still cynical of your industry, I took your advice and trusted you could deliver on what you thought you could do. Well you delivered! No auctions, No $2,000 advertising campaigns and no waffle. You sold our home within 5 weeks. Since meeting you and seeing how you operate, it is no wonder your agency wins so many awards.
Steve Hemsworth
Both Graham and I were very impressed by all of the First National Team. It’s no wonder you are successful with such as enthusiastic and committed team.
Gail Turley
We could not have been more impressed by the quality of service and attention to detail displayed by “all” that we had the pleasure of meeting at Nerang First National. Our leap to Nerang First National after having a very bad experience with another office was with much trepidation, but your entire staff were “efficient” and “professional” and “friendly” with every contact that we feel part of the family, and congratulate you on having a very team orientated office.
Allan and Anne Beard
Having listed my property with another agency for twelve months without luck, I then carefully visited and screened every agency in Nerang. What an “eye opener”. Only First National met my criteria of “Must Haves” :
Prompt return of Phone Calls Nicely presented office in a highly visible position to attract buyers
Intelligent, friendly, well spoken and presented staff Enthusiastic about selling my property.
Regular updates and weekly written progress reports
Professionally conducted inspections with buyers
The minute I entered your office, I was aware of the genuine interest in offering a service to the public. I was very impressed with the confidence and advice offered without feeling pressured. The entire team inspected my home in a positive manner, and collective teamwork without internal competition was evident. My home was sold in just a few weeks – I am impressed ! You “stand out” in my eyes and I will happily recommend your agency to anyone
Stephanie Byram
This communication is to convey to you and your company, our appreciation of your handling of our property requirements over the years, in respect to sale and rental activities.We have been very impressed with the courtesy, willingness, knowledge and general aptitude as displayed by your staff, reflecting company status and policy very favourably. Also special commendation to Your Property Manager – rental management – whose tireless efforts and enterprise, on behalf of her clients, seem always to be readily available.
It is a pleasurable experience to write and recommend to other interested parties – i.e. property owners – the performance of a company, its staff, and its policy, and that we can do, most genuinely of First National, Nerang.
David G. Muller
We have rental properties in Adelaide, Brisbane, Darwin, and the US – you folks are the BEST. Your service is far and away superior to the others – you’re very professional – do the work well, and get the job done AND you go one step further – YOU CARE!!
