George handled the sale of my mum's much loved family home. In a difficult falling market we achieved an outstanding price. Throughout the process, George and his team treated all parties with great courtesy and respect. Experience does count and his skill to create a positive environment is largely responsible for our success. At all times, we were fully consulted and informed. George proved his worth from start to finish. He and his team are warm, friendly, and thoroughly professional.

Marina is very professional, transparent, and approachable. Our purchase was extremely easy and pleasant experience. Marina was always available to assist and answer our questions. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to buy or sell property.
Marina was fantastic when we bought a property from First National. I can't say much for the listing agent as we didn't talk to them, but Marina was amazing to deal with. She was always available when we needed her and knew her stuff. We would have no hesitation in recommending Marina to other buyers and sellers. Thanks Marina!
Outstanding agent! Joe went the extra mile to look after us in every aspect of the sale process. He attended to every detail, was prompt and helpful in all our communications with him and his advice and presentation of our property was excellent. He was very professional in all he did! We would certainly use Joe again and highly recommend him to others.
A supportive, encouraging and patient agent! We dealt with Joe in the recent sale of our property at Hamilton South. Throughout the process he was always keeping in contact making sure we knew what was happening and anything we should be doing to help the sale. He was never pushy or overbearing, but always offered a genuine opinion about our situation. We were really appreciative of how patient he was with us throughout the process and how enthusiastic he was as well, it really helped when there weren’t immediate results.
Marina was beyond amazing! She held our hand through the whole process of buying our first home and made us feel so special once the deal was done. You could tell that she wanted the best for us throughout the whole process! She kept us up to date the whole time and her communication was amazing.
George and his team have been wonderful to deal with! As a solicitor I have dealt with George in numerous buying and selling transactions. He has also acted for my family in multiple property development sales with huge success. George’s knowledge of the market, attention to detail, professionalism, marketing, and negotiation skills are first rate. He has a very well-resourced team and always responds very promptly to any requests. I highly recommend George & the First National Newcastle team.
Bridget made the auction process much less stressful thanks to her friendly, helpful attitude and willingness to answer a call or text whenever we needed.
Bridget was always friendly and available. Bridget was always efficient and most helpful. Bridget was a pleasure to deal with. Many thanks Bridget with the purchase of our harbour side apartment. We wish you great success in the real estate industry.
Friendly, available and instrumental in helping get our pre-approval arranged in time for auction. Thank you, Bridget!
My experience of selling our house via George Rafty and his team, especially Joe Olsen & Bridget Shepherd has been nothing less than perfect. It is rare to deal with a business that far exceeds expectations. From the initial contact with GR where he explained our options, to agreeing on a plan and contracting to sell, through the preparation and marketing where J proved to be an excellent and timely communicator it was a seamless, pleasant, and efficient experience. 5 stars is not enough!!!
Bridget has been so helpful and supportive. Bridget has been very flexible and welcoming of our unique requests, she has been super efficient in getting information to us though never pushy. We strongly recommend Bridget if you are looking for an agent.
