  • Champion Agent. This man has been nothing short of a legend. He’s patient beyond words, kind, friendly, approachable and sincere. Words very rarely used in conjunction with the industry of realestate. Thanks and forever grateful. Good job Matt. Peter and Danica

  • Seamless Experience. Matt made this whole experience very easy. He explained each step thoroughly and connected us to other professionals who assisted in the legal side of the sale. The sale was made very quickly and we got a good price for the property.

  • Quality Service and Outstanding Support. Rachel and her team have provided nothing but the highest level of support and professionalism through the rental of our property, and ultimately the sale of our home. Rachel and her team were extremely responsive to all forms of communication and were very understanding with any questions that we had about the entire process as it was new to us. The team were extremely knowledgeable about the area and about our home, asking all the questions that they needed to get the best result. The team were also very inclusive with seeking input on our ideas and thoughts and made sure we were comfortable with any next steps. Utilizing all their skills, they ultimately were able to sell our house just 5 days after going live on the open market and for full asking. We are so grateful to Rachel, Matt and their team for everything that have done for us. With out them, we would not have been able to relocate as quickly as we have been able to. Thank you!

  • We have been renting for close to a year now with first coast national Shellharbour. Stephanie has been our property manager and has been great, we had a fair bit of trouble getting a rental, Stephanie took the time to get to know our situation and talk to us personally on the phone. Stephanie mentioned several properties in the area and helped us with the place we are in now. We can’t be more thankful. Any issues or emails sent they addressed by Stephanie, Samantha and Rachel within a day. We have had no problems! Thank you team :) - Michelle Kirkbride

  • Samantha has been my property manager for 3.5 years in that time I have needed to move 3 times due to property sales. Samantha and the team have gone above and beyond each time to help relocate my son's and I into suitable housing. I have found Samantha to be very thoughtful, respectful and professional. Best experience I have had with renting!

  • I recommend Matt highly. I interviewed 3 agents, deciding on Matt because of his understanding of our family situation and how best to market a beloved but older home. An assuring mix of insight, calmness, and good business instincts, he guided me through the rather stressful experience of selling my father's house after this death. His kindness was important to me, as well as his excellent marketing and media skills. Knowledgeable, never pushy, irritated nor negative, he got us a great result - R Rowland

  • I changed to First National Coastside to look after my rental property after issues with a previous agency. First National were professional and proficient from the very start and found me excellent tenants straight away. I am very grateful that they were able to take on my property at such short notice and were very graceful rectifying issues that were previously overseen by my previous real estate. I then recently decided to sell my property with the assistance of First National. The whole process was smooth with Matt taking the time to make sure I understood the process and ensured my property was taken care of through the whole process. The house was sold for a fantastic price and without any stress or confusion from my end. I would highly recommend first National for investors needed a property manager or anyone looking to sell. They are efficient and professional and take away the stress that can come with property. I would certainly use their services again -Cassie Salucci
