  • I’ve had the pleasure of working with Robert Harvey on five property sales and I wouldn’t dream of going to anyone else. His extensive knowledge and years of experience are evident in every aspect of the process. Robert’s negotiation skills are second to none, consistently securing outstanding deals that exceed expectations. Not only does he sell properties quickly, but he does so for remarkable prices that leave me beyond satisfied. Thank you Robert for yet again a remarkable result.

  • We have just moved our three residential properties to First National Neilson Partners recently. The whole process was extremely simple with Caitlin from First National organising everything. She has been a pleasure to deal with keeping us updated on every step along the way. Working with her has provided us with a very positive first impression. We looked forward to strengthening our relationship with the First National Team.

    Ashleigh | Rental Provider - Berwick
  • We were somewhat unhappy with our previous real estate agent and agency who was offering subpar service in managing our investment property, and after nearly 2 years we thought that it was a good time for a change and were asking around for recommendations and was (thankfully) referred to Rebecca Lawson at First National, by someone who actually used to work for them and could only speak highly of Rebecca. Our takeover experience with Caitlin Besecke has been flawless; she kept us up to date and informed along the way, and worked with us efficiently throughout the whole process, letting us know of everything that was required of us for takeover. We had a some queries after reviewing the Leasing and Management Authority form, which Caitlin was able to answer with absolutely no issues. We signed papers on Monday and takeover of keys and files from our previous agent/agency was completed by Wednesday with no hiccups. We received a courtesy email from Caitlin to say that the the process had been completed and later a phone call from Rebecca to provide a formal update by phone of the completed process. Not having changed agents before, we didn't know what to expect but if this was anything to go off, it was a very promising and high-level service experience at the outset from First National Neilson Partners, particularly by Caitlin and Rebecca, which gives us great confidence and hope that our investment property is in good hands. Thank you for the effortless service and experience so far.
