We recently sold our dairy farm through First National Real Estate. Paul Bradley (Rural Sales) was our agent who conducted the sale, Paul impressed us with his friendly and professional manner and the farm was sold in a fortnight. We were very happy with all aspects of the farm sale and would certainly recommend Paul to anyone considering selling a property.

We were very happy with the professional service we received from Ian at First National Real Estate during the successful sale of our dairy farm. The whole process was stress free and took less time than we expected. Ian Crosson (Rural Sales) was able to provide us with what we had asked for, giving us a very satisfactory result.

I would like to thake this oppotunity to express my admiration and appreciation to you Margaret. I can't tell you how much we have appreciated how hard you have worked and how great you have been while selling our house.

To whom it may concern

W engaged first national to market our property in Feb 09. The interest they generated was remarkable given the slow down in the market. The open homes were well arranged with and excellent number of potential buyers attending.

The marketing by First National was also well evidenced by the large number of people driving by and viewing the property from the road.

We were very happy with the way First National conducted their marketing strategy and the result they achieved in a very short time was very favorable.

We highly recommend First National Real Estate and especially Ian Crosson for their exceptional and professional approach we have had no hesitation to recommending them to others.

Nicola Langridge (Residential Sales) pays attention to detail. She listens to what you want and then acts on it. When we told Nicola what we were after she took us to a property she thought would be ideal for us and it was! She didn’t waste our time (or hers) showing us anything she knew would not fit the bill. So one property and a purchase – the sort of deal we like! Nicola then stayed in touch after the sale had completed. We received a lovely gift basket, a meal voucher at a local café and 6 months later a lovely present for our new baby boy. I am always amazed at how thoughtful Nicola is – I can honestly say I have never met Real Estate agent like her.
