We had a great experience working with Luke. His expertise and advice was invaluable. He instructed me in the negotiation phase, I am so happy I followed everything he said.

Tara combines the two, often mutually exclusive, characteristics; experience and professionalism, and a warm, friendly and easy going nature, effortlessly. I literally met her for the first time, at the first viewing of the property, that I successfully bought the next day, with vigorous completion from two other parties. It was an intense and stressful time for me, and I would imagine, for the other two hopeful purchasers, and the vendor. Tara handled the situation with ease, grace, and no fuss. I was kept informed, but not pressured, and given the information and space required to make the right decisions. Considering that I had never met Tara before, it felt more like I was dealing with a friend, than a real estate agent, and that's saying something

I'm sincerely thankful to have had Luke as my ' totally awesome' agent in securing my recent purchase. He constantly communicated and always answered my emails & txts. His friendliness, understanding (my extended waiting for bridging finance approval) and experience helped me secure the house I really wanted amongst other interested buyers. I would 100% recommend him. He and his bright, enthusiastic co workers also shared my happiness once my sale had been secured. Thankyou very much.

I used Paul to sell my property in Kings Rd Federal. At all times he was enthusiastic and encouraging about it. He gave me constructive ideas on how to prepare it before sale. He was always happy to drive the 25 kms out for inspections weekly and for individuals wanting an extra inspection it was never a problem. His calm, patient and focused manner led to a good sale price and my confidence in him. I would not hesitate to use him again for selling another property. I then bought my new property through him. Again he was happy to take me through at the times I requested and knowledgeable about comparative properties in the area.

We found Helen to be very professional and a great agent for both vendor and purchaser. She was very accommodating of our requests, worked swiftly no matter what time of day, was prompt in her communications and wholly reliable. It made the purchase an easy operation even from Sydney. We would confidently recommend Helen and her team to anyone thinking to purchase or sell.

“Our experience with Helen Huntly-Barratt from the First National Team, Byron Bay was awesome! We spoke to Helen a year before we sold as at that time we were still really unsure if we wanted to put the property on the market. Helen made occasional contact with us though she did not ever push us into a sale which we greatly appreciated. When we finally decided it was time to sell we contacted her and she was amazing. She gave us great advice on the presentation of the property, setting a realistic timeline to complete everything prior to the property going on the market. We found Helen to be so professional, knowledgeable and extremely ethical not only for us as the Vendor but for those interested in purchasing the property. Helen advised us on the processes of selling a property including solicitor and document requirements etc. She contacted us day, night and weekends with updates and took away so much stress from what was an extremely challenging situation. We would have no hesitation in recommending Helen and her First National Team in selling your property, Helen and her team were an absolute delight to work with. Kerry and Tony Leitch

We were a young couple selling our first home. Tara was very helpful throughout the entire process, her communication was outstanding and we felt completely comfortable entrusting her with our house. We wouldn't hesistate in using Tara and the team at First National Byron Bay again and would recommend them to anyone else.

If you have a property to sell in the Byron Region, I would thoroughly recommend Helen Huntly-Barratt. As a retired Real Estate Agent and owner of my own Agency for many years, it was a big decision to trust another agent with the sale of our family property. However, all our concerns were unnecessary. Helen was wonderful. All of our requests were respected. Helen also worked especially well with my elderly mother, who continued to live in our family home, on her own, during the sale. Mum always felt safe, informed and considered by Helen and her team, from beginning to end. In addition, Helen's negotiation skills were excellent. Helen managed our offers with professionalism and honesty, resulting in us achieving more than our "asking price". We would thoroughly recommend Helen Huntly-Barratt to you too.

Hi Su Just a quick note (although should be a 'long note') to say how much we appreciated your guidance, experience, level headedness and understanding in the process of our sale. Our great result is a total reflection of your efforts and the First National, Byron Bay team. Please add this to what is probably a mountain of testimonials you have deservedly accumulated over the years. Kind regards Brett & Tiff

Selling a home can be an emotional and overwhelming time. Throughout this challenging process Luke was very respectful, hard working and always had time for an queries or questions. Luke is a brilliant communicator and very eloquent, which comes in handy when negoatiating a good sale price for our home. Furthermore Luke comes across as a genuine, honest and approachable person. I would highly recommend Luke to anyone in the Byron Shire seeking to sell their home.
