Excellent problem solver, honest and solution focused

We want to express our sincere appreciation to Nick Hughes for his exceptional dedication during the sale of our home. Selling a property on a tight 10-day clause and quick settlement timeframe is demanding enough, but Nick’s diligence, clear communication, and professionalism shone through from start to finish. This transaction presented unique challenges, requiring a high level of patience and diplomacy to navigate contrasting expectations and intense contract conditions. Despite these pressures, Nick acted as a dedicated advocate for a fair and lawful outcome, maintaining complete composure and efficiency throughout. When questions arose surrounding building reports and site access, Nick worked seamlessly alongside legal counsel to ensure all contractual terms were strictly upheld while maintaining complete transparency. He brought immediate solutions to the table, including trusted, well-qualified trade contacts at a moment's notice to resolve matters on the spot. Nick’s expert problem-solving and steadfast guidance turned a high-stress situation into a successful result. We could not have asked for better representation. If you want a true professional who is honest, hardworking, and genuinely cares, call Nick!

Poor Communicator

Poor Communicator

Poor communication, poor form with communication of the sales and purchase agreement. Got a builder inspector report was denied access to get quotes for the work identified. Had to get my lawyer involved. There was a short 10 days working clause and quick settlement. Advised the client the report was false even know it was from a reputable builder. A experienced roof company agreed with the findings. I would advise based on my experience not to purchase a property with Nick or first national. Now they costing me more money as I have to go through lawyers now. Not fair, stressful and costly.

I recently purchased a house with Jamie Gemmell as the real estate agent, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Jamie was incredibly professional, genuine and knowledgeable throughout the whole process. Despite having a very short turnaround, she made everything feel completely seamless and easy. ​I never felt rushed or pressured, and she took the time to explain everything clearly and keep ​me informed at every step. She was always approachable, responsive and genuinely cared about helping ​me through the process. ​I would absolutely recommend Jamie ​as I am so grateful for everything she did to make the process such a positive experience.

Alissa made things so easy for us. She made us feel we really mattered, not just a process.

Alissa made things so easy for us. She made us feel we really mattered, not just a process.

Alissa provided us with all that we needed to agree on a sale price and explained it in a way we could understand. She really got to know our circumstances and we really felt she was on side to sell the property at a fair and reasonable price. She did a great summary after the first open home so we got a real sense of the interest in the property. The sale was quick and she kept us updated as the handover date drew nearer. I would absolutely recommend Alissa to others ( and use her myself if I ever sold in the future) She so easily connects with people and it is clear that she loves what she does.

Nico has been fantastic to deal with throughout our property purchase. He was always friendly, approachable, and quick to respond to any questions or provide updates. As a first-home buyer, I really appreciated how transparent he was throughout the entire process and how willing he was to explain things and answer any queries. We’re very happy with the outcome and excited for the new venture. Thanks, Nico for making it happen!

Like working with an expert family member

Michelle actually sold me the house she helped me sell on nearly a decade later. After the best, and fastest, first home purchase, I didn't even think twice about who would help me sell me home. Michelle epitomises the kind of agent that makes you celebrate their cut. She works hard And smart. Michelle continually gave me the right advice for my situation and my area, not the popular advice. Conversations were familiar in the way an experienced friend would communicate: honest and direct, with warmth and genuine excitement for the milestones as we reached them. Michelle has the patience of a person who understands that most people aren't selling their second or third house, and walked me through the most basic steps and questions in a way that made me feel confident, not stupid. Consequently I both trusted her deeply and felt like any questions I had would be thoroughly considered and answered. I sold my house from out of town, during a busy time where communication was ad hoc by necessity, and not only did I never feel stressed, I was 100% confident in Michelle. It payed off. I knew she'd nail it. I'll never have the words to recommend her enough. Thanks Michelle!
