We recently purchased a property through Joe at First National, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Joe was incredibly transparent throughout the entire process, ensuring we were well-informed at every step. His communication skills were top-notch, which made the whole transaction smooth and stress-free. We highly recommend Joe and the team at First National Newcastle to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.

Melissa was always very helpful, professional, and easy to communicate with. George and Melissa were a complimentary pair.

George was very knowledgeable on the local market and I appreciated his insight into Newcastle's suburbs and their history.

George has a clear, honest and direct communication style that helped all parties in the negotiation and for us in securing the property. I would highly recommend George as an agent, whether you are buying or selling.

This is my third home purchase/sale with George. I wouldn’t trust selling my home with anyone else. His knowledge of the local market along with his honest and upfront demeanor is exactly what appeals to me when making decision on such a scale. Having said that. Hopefully this one is the last!

Melissa has gone above and beyond in assisting us in purchasing our home. She is both friendly and professional and understands the real estate market.

We've asked a range of questions at different stages throughout the buying process and Melissa has responded quickly with information every time.

Fantastic service and we couldn't be happier. Thanks Melissa!

We've met many agents over the years and George Rafty is absolutely brilliant. He is a leader in the industry for anyone serious about selling their home.

George is an excellent communicator and worked with his vendors and ourselves to achieve a sale result that we were all happy with. George made himself available to allow us to inspect the home after hours, which we greatly appreciated.

We wouldn't hesitate to recommend George to buyers or sellers in the Newcastle market. Thanks George!

I have known George Rafty for over 40 years. During this time I have bought and sold several properties through George and his team at First National Newcastle.

Their professionalism and integrity is beyond reproach.

George’s knowledge of the inner Newcastle area and his expertise is why I would highly recommend George and his team if you’re buying or selling residential property.

This is the second time I have sold a property through George. I wouldn’t pick anyone else. I live interstate so I was not around for all of the sale process so I needed someone I could trust. As it turned out George sold the property prior to it going onto market. He organised a smooth and swift sale and gave me a lot of support throughout the process. I would not sell through any one else.
