As a buyer, dealing with Dan Hawes has suprisingly been very good. Initially we knew straight away we going to put an offer in to the house we bought off Dan. After the initial phone call everything flowed extremly smoothly. All explanations were clear and easy to follow. We had a few odd balls throwen at him but he handled them in a calm and easy to get along manner.
Overall I do recommend Dan, keep up the good work!

We have known Dan Hawes now for 2 years. We purchased our house from him 2 and a half years ago, and now we have also sold a house through Dan. He is the most honest and reliable agent I know. Dan has become a close friend to us through his knowledge of realestate. We highly recomend Dan as an agent to buy or sell through. Thank you Dan.

I met one of your sales specialists Dan Hawes last year, when he came with a senior colleague, to appraise the apartment I’m currently living in for market.
I was impressed by their professional appearance, conduct & transparency.
I mentioned that I would be looking to buy in the near future. Dan took my contact details & kept me “in the loop” weekly for months, of what was new &, appropriate to my needs, coming onto the market.
When it came time for me to invest in a property myself early in the year, I didn’t feel the need spending the time & headworks chasing up other RE agencies.
Having previously been in the Real Estate sales industry myself, my high expectations were met, not only by Dan but, also his colleague Shane.
Always punctual, prompt follow ups with answers to my questions. Nothing was too much trouble for them and the whole process ran “smooth as”.
Plus, I got my favourite chocolates on settlement!!
I have no hesitation in recommending First National & their professional team to anyone wishing to appoint them exclusively for purchasing or selling Real Estate.
Yours Sincerely

We met Dan Bradley the day our contract was accepted and found him to be an excellent communicator. Nothing was too much trouble. He took some measurements for us and being a born and bred local told us a lot about the area and market. He is personable, contactable, and has a great sense of humour. Shane Dawes and Dan Bradley make a great team.

They say selling your home can be one of the most stressful times in your life and undoubtedly it's a big decision. Can be just as difficult choosing the right agent to market your pride and joy and get the best result.
Personally I think the most important factor is feeling comfortable with the agent you choose. In my experience when buying a property it's not enjoyable if you feel pressured. That's why when I decided to sell, I wanted an agent that would do the job without using the tactics that I would dismiss as a buyer.
I first met Lisa Angell when looking at a house which was for sale in November 2016. Although she did her job well and gave me all the information I needed it wasn't the right house for me. Her follow up was great and she kept me informed but I wasn't emotionally drawn to the home.
Throughout the process I never felt pressured and was happy I could ask all the questions I needed answered and get factual responses. Lisa had done a lot of research on the home and was professional in all of our dealings.
Not long after I asked Lisa to carry out a valuation on my home and again she was very professional and accomodating. It took me over a year to make the final decision to sell and I considered several agents over that time. Some pushed lower prices obviously looking for a quick sale, others came up with inflated prices just looking to sign up a listing.
Lisa did her research, gave her honest opinion and listened to what I had to say. It felt good to have an agent that was working with me rather than telling me what I should do. Her marketing was great, she asked for all the right information upon sign up and when it hit the market she worked incredibly hard to get an outstanding result.
She kept me informed every step of the way and made the whole process feel comfortable.
I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone daunted by the thought of buying or selling. I found her approach made the whole experience stress free.
Kind regards,

Dan Hawes has been helpful, prompt and excellent with all aspects of the purchase for my partner and myself. Being our first home we came across a lot of new ground and Dan made the whole process a lot smoother. Can’t thank him enough.

We appointed Dan Bradley to sell our property in Alex Headland after a recommendation.
He has a full understanding of current sales prices, both asking and achieved. We felt this gave us an upper hand in our negotiations with potential buyers. We ultimately achieved a great price on an unconditional basis.
Thanks Dan.

I was more than happy with the dealings I had with Dan Hawes. I was overseas for quite a bit while the house was on the market and Dan went above and beyond in keeping me updated and dealing with things I was unable to do while being overseas. I would highly recommend him as If you are selling your home.

It has been a very easy and pleasant experience selling our unit with the help of Shane Purssell and the team at firstnational RE Coastal. The direction and advise was always sound and Shane worked extremely hard to secure the right price for us, in what turned out to be an expedient sale of our property. We certainly would recommend Shane and the team for all real estate needs.

I would like to say how very much I appreciated your enthusiasm and professionalism in you constantly keeping in touch with me on what was happening with our property in Maroochydore.
I knew from the first moment I spoke with you that you were the best person for the job as you were so enthusiastic about wanting to sell our property, giving me all the information about yourself and your company and how you would approach selling our property if you got the job. I was correct as you did a great job as I expected.
I will certainly tell my friends and family to see you if they are selling or buying a property up in the Maroochydore area.
Thank you again Georgina for your wonderful efforts
Much appreciated!

I am very happy to recommend Shane Purssell and his team at First National when buying or selling your properties.
I found Shane to be very professional, friendly and totally approachable during period of my townhouse sale. He was always contactable for me with any queries I had, held extra opens each week and spent a good deal of extra time informing me of how Opens went and his follow ups with potential buyers.
Shane even went the extra mile and moved some furniture for me to make a room more presentable!
Being in my 60's, I have previously bought and sold six homes over the years and have never received such excellent service - in every detail from the initial personal valuation of my home to the unconditional sale, and at price I am very happy with. Also, was very quick sale - from signing on with Shane on 2 January 2018 to signing of Contracts on 25 January 2018.
Thank you so much to Shane Purssell and team at First National for your excellent, helpful and very professional and friendly service!

Shane Purssell you were a pleasure to do business with.
I would recommend your team to anyone. There were no hassles through the whole process. You knew the area like the back of your hand and your knowledge of the area and buildings was great.
We first saw your father at Mooloolaba at an open for inspection and he pointed us in the right direction. He was very honest and answered all the questions that we put forward to him. We were very happy that he pointed us in your direction of the day to our inspection of Ocean Boulevard at Alexandra Headland.
And a thank you goes to Kim Alderton too.
If I was purchasing any other property in the future I wouldn’t go past First National.
