We found working with Chris really helpful and informative. She was always willing to answer our questions. Chris was on hand should we require another look or advice around the property. She has been a pleasure to work with and extremely generous. Thank you Chris.

Patrick knows the Rotorua market in depth and gave me an appraisal based on current market. He has a clear and achievable selling target and strategy. I was impressed by his responsibilities and excellent selling skills. He is always reachable on phone, text or emails in a timely manner. After comparing with other agents, I chose Patrick without a doubt. He decorated my property, arranged appointments to view, brought gifts to open home visitors, provided me weekly reports, negotiated settlement date and moving time. I was satisfied to receive multi offers and good price just after one open home. Patrick is a professional gentleman with his hospitality experience. I believe he will be one of best agents in Rotorua in a near future.

Chris worked very well with us as buyers. Keep going the extra mile to make things happen

We had the privilege of having dealt with Chris & Jaimie during the purchase process of our new home. Communication is key when there are so many details to line up. From start to finish this was absolutely effortless with Chris. We found Chris to be approachable, kind and genuine. We would happily work with her in the future.

Chris worked tirelessly from the beginning and went out of her way to get our house sold. She kept us informed all along the way, knowing exactly where we stood at all times. Chris is a very pleasant and reliable lady and we were more than happy with the experience. She managed to do what others couldn't. We would recommend her to anyone wishing to sell. The outcome was exactly as we wanted. Couldn't really ask for much better.

Chris O'Donoghue was an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish - completely professional, extremely personable and made the process of selling our property as simple as possible. Chris explained the suggested marketing process clearly and concisely and went about organising it very efficiently. We were sent regular updates as to the level of interest shown at open homes etc, and felt confident that our property was being presented to our best advantage. We were delighted with the outcome and felt that the entire experience was positive and well managed. We are more than happy to recommend Chris to anyone looking to buy or sell property, and have already passed this recommendation on to others.

Chrissy was very friendly put me at ease and was very trustworthy. Kept me up to date with all the viewings and interest in the property. Chrissy was very caring with our situation and she helped me a lot through the difficult time of finally selling my late mother’s home after 18 months of her passing away. I am recommending Chrissy as an agent to all my family friends and work colleagues in Rotorua.

I recently purchased a house through Patrick Gao of First National. I can't speak highly enough of him and his service. He was a real gentleman throughout the process, was honest and upfront and always managed to provide clear answers - either at the time or once he had found an answer from the Vendor. I would highly recommend Patrick to anyone wanting a straightforward Agent who listens and always acts with Integrity - hard to find in today's market.
