About George

In a career spanning 26 years, George Rafty’s dedication, integrity and incomparable work ethic have positioned him as a name synonymous with real estate in Newcastle. Priding himself on a focused and personal service offering world class real estate marketing, George’s reputation and results are consistent and unprecedented. In 2016 , George was the winner of the REINSW Awards for Excellence for Residential Salesperson, and he has been listed in the REB's Top 100 Agents in Australia for the last 4 years, he was also the highest ranking regional agent each year. Success at that level only comes about with the combination of an unswerving focus on the client, coupled with a remarkable work ethic and passion for the business, all qualities George says have their basis in his childhood years. Growing up, George’s parents owned iconic restaurants and cafes in Newcastle and he helped in the businesses from a young age, learning how to work hard and always be respectful. Entering the real estate industry in 1992, George drew on the lessons he learnt on the soccer field – discipline, punctuality, a competitive spirit and being a team player – along with the respect and client focus learnt from his parents, to very quickly cement his reputation in the industry. The combination of all of these qualities has seen George positioned in the top one percent of agents in Australia and has helped him set record prices for sales all across Newcastle. George knows you only get one chance to maximise the sale of your property and he knows how to help you achieve the very best result.

Integrity and Knowledge

After negotiating the sale of my property I have nothing but praise for George Rafty and his professional team at First National Newcastle. I'm sure the purchaser would mimic my sentiment. George has incredible industry knowledge and is most professional. His conduct and integrity struck a chord with me and gave me confidence. I readily endorse George to any prospective seller. His initial appraisal was spot on and his assessment of the market extremely accurate. Thanks again!!

Roger Ingham

I would happily recommend Roger to anyone looking for an agent to sell their property. With Roger's many years industry experience in the Newcastle area I felt I was in the best possible hands to sell my property quickly and with the least amount of fuss. I felt very supported every step of the way and Roger worked tirelessly to obtain an excellent sales price. Roger is an excellent communicator, honest in his manner and a consummate professional in every aspect of his approach to his work. I will definitely be contacting Roger next time I am ready to sell.

George is an Agent with Integrity.

George goes above & beyond to help with a Smooth & Efficient Sale. This has not only happened with my very recent purchase, but also when my Mother bought from George a few yrs ago & helped her get the House she loved too. It's obvious why he has such a good Professional Reputation.
