We had recommended Lisa and Paul Angell to numerous Family and friends as we had previously purchased a block of land through Paul many years ago. Built on that block then found a block of land in Hervey Bay to perhaps retire to one day. 12 years later it needed to go so in a passing comment, we asked Lisa (First National Mooloolaba/Maroochydore) if she wanted to have a crack at selling it. Needless to say we had offered it to local agents and all we got were negatives. An acre of land overlooking Fraser Island!
Lisa went out of her way to acquaint herself with the land, position, facilities etc. and up went her sign. Just one week later our land was SOLD, with an unconditional contract and for a price that we hadn't expected given our attempts to list locally. Genuine, hardworking, ethical Agents!
Thank you Lisa and Paul. See you next time we need the impossible done!

My husband and i have been putting off listing our property for sale as we were not ready to go through the process. Engaging First National and working with Dan Hawes made the entire process stress free and seamless. Dan is very professional and kept us updated through every step in the process. Would highly recommend Dan to manage the sale of your property. He exceeded our expectations with a sale within 2 weeks with a fantastic sale price.

Dan Hawes was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. He went out of his way to help us secure the perfect unit, he drove us around as we are from Sydney, and also took time to show us the local area.
I would not hesitate to recommend him to help you find the right place for you.
Thanks again Dan.

We sold our property last year, and talked to many agents before we chose Dan Hawes to assist us in the Sale.
Dan was very professional with his approach. He had such good advice on how to get the best out of the sale, he was personable and real.
Our house sold within being on the market for a week, and we got a much better price than expected!
I would recommend Dan to anyone considering selling their home. He's a fantastic agent!

I believe Dan Hawes to be a great agent because he was always ready to let me know what was happening even though I lived thousands of km away and I never met him personally.He always stayed positive of a sale and when we did sell I had full confidence and trust in the completion of sale

Dan Bradley from First National Coastal was able to offer me some very helpful advice before and after putting my property on the market.
He achieved a great result in a relatively quick time. Thank you, Dan, for the hard work you put into selling my Maroochydore property.
I will have no hesitation in recommending Dan Bradley to anyone looking to sell their property.
Dan, I hope to work with you again soon.

Dan Hawes helped us to sell our house last year. And before we knew it he sent us packing. He gave us lots of ideas and tips to make the most out of our property and make even more from the sale. We are greatful for having him on our side and if we are to ever sell again, we would love to have him assist. Thanks.

Would certainly recommend Dan Hawes to any propsective sellers.
Dan was extremely professional and honest throughout the whole process, he was knowledgeable about the current market and didn't overstate the value of the property just to get the listing.
The property was priced correctly and my wife and I were happy with the result. He was also very considerate of the needs of the tenant in the property and effectively balanced our desire to sell the property and tenants desire to have minimum disruption. Thanks Dan.

Thanks Shane Purssell for your diligent effort to sell my apartment at 16/27-31 Kingsford Smith Parade. You did a fine job, kept me well informed at all times & kept my costs to a minimum in the process.
The property sold in a timely manner & at a price that reflected your initial assessment, for which I'm greatly appreciative.
I came to you in the knowledge that you also were instrumental in my purchase years before.
Rest assured that, when asked, I will recommend your services to friend & family.

The team at First National Mooloolaba & Maroochydore were great to work with during the recent purchase and subsequent letting of an investment property in Maroochydore.
During the sale process, Georgina was consistently professional, communicating effectively between myself and the vendor, working to resolve any concerns quickly.
Angie in Property Management is equally great to work with, she is an extremely efficient property manager, finding a tenant in time for settlement day!
In short, I have no hesitation in recommending the team at First National Mooloolaba, they're an absolute pleasure to work with

Thanks for your work and getting the sale, it has been a pleasure dealing with you Shane Purssell.
As requested here is my feedback on the selling process.
- Patience over 15 months and not pushing for a fire sale price.
- Great support and trustworthy advice for a seller that is far away.
- Good use of online and open home to get the eventual buyers.
- Good advice on having the appropriate info/documentation ready for the buyer to sign a contract.
- Excellent knowledge of the property, resort and surrounds.
- Good relationship with the onsite manager to coordinate open home.

We approached Lisa Angell 5 months prior to putting our investment unit on the market. The advice Lisa gave us turned out to be the most valuable advice we have ever received.
The advice was to wait until the current tenant's lease had expired and then put it on the market so it would appeal to both owner occupier buyers and investment buyers. During the waiting period the old carpet was replaced with a good quality carpet, new ceiling fans were installed and the unit was painted.
Once the tenant moved out, the unit was staged with brand new modern furniture. The splashes of bright yellow in the carpet, cushions, dining room settings, bed coverings and pictures made the unit bright, spacious, homely and appealing for anyone to want to move straight into.
At the first open inspection a contract was signed and the unit settled 30 days later.
Many thanks Lisa for your advice and support. It has been all amazing and we still can't believe how the unit sold so quickly.
We would highly recommend any new seller to have Lisa Angell from First National Mooloolaba list their property for sale.

My partner and I employed the assistance of First National Mooloolaba to find an investment unit in the Mooloolaba area. During the process of finding a suitable unit we were constantly updated with suitable properties which fitted our profile and are now proud owners of a property.
Our thanks to all the First National staff, in particular our agent Dan Hawes. No pressure selling, constant contact and a most friendly experience. We have now employed First National to manage leasing of our property.
Thanks First National and Dan.
