  • Rachel Hutchinson and her team, particularly Stephanie and Samantha, have been wonderful to deal with. Their customer service is excellent, and they are very prompt at following up any queries and offering their advice. I was impressed with Rachel’s knowledge of the market and confidence in her teams ability to deliver. She said her team would get us top results fast, and she was absolutely right. We look forward to working with Coastside Shellharbour.

  • Professional, Efficient and Trustworthy Real Estate Specialists. I have had a fantastic experience working with First National Coastside Shellharbour as my property management team. Over the last 6 years they have been professional, efficient, and attentive to every detail. They quickly found reliable tenants and ensured all maintenance issues were addressed promptly, which has saved me time and stress. Communication is always clear, and I feel confident that my property is in good hands. I highly recommend them to any landlord looking for a trustworthy, dedicated agency.

  • One of the best in the business! My wife and I were in the process of buying our forever home and the home we fell for was being sold by Matt. Matt is not your traditional agent. He's true to his word, punctual in all aspects and genuine as an agent. For us that meant the world and we are forever grateful for Matt and his team for being a joy to deal with.

  • My wife and I recently sold our home with First National Real Estate Coastside Shellharbour. We were thoroughly delighted with the result. Matt, Brooke & the Team kept us up to date throughout the entire journey and no question was too hard. We would highly recommend the team.

  • 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.
    Gary Matthews
  • 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
