David was polite knowledgeable and understanding

Upon first contact with David we felt he was a very polite knowledgeable and trustworthy person. When we were viewing the properties, David could give great detail about each one and let us know about any items needing attention. His honesty and openness was commendable. Well done David and, sincerely, thank you. Cheers, Mark and Tina Griffiths.

Excellent experience, achieved a very good result

This is my second sale with David from First National. On both occasions his local knowledge, strategy and communication skills have resulted in quick sales (once prior to listing) with prices at levels I was totally satisfied with.. Should you be considering selling a property on the Coffs Coast, do yourself a favour and call David.

We bought our dream property and sold our house

David’s agency First National was suggested to us as the best real estate agency in town (Coffs Harbour). The potential property was flagged to us through social media as being one we might be interested in. The contact person for that property was David Small. David arranged an inspection for the next available working day and was very knowledgeable about all aspects of the property. David was extremely helpful and timely in responding to every query we had about the property and throughout the entire transaction. He has a reputation as being the rural property specialist for the Coffs hinterland. We were impressed with the speed and professionalism of the entire process. With regard to our house sale we chose David as the selling agent as the direct result of our previous experience with him. Again David and his team came to the party with a quick and successful sale. We highly recommend David for any property purchase or sale.

A great personal experience

David was very attentive and quick in responding with any questions we had regarding the property or purchase information, we are new to Orara Valley area and with David’s local knowledge of the area it was a fantastic help in making us feel right at home. He had great knowledge and background information of the property and we were very thankful to have had his help, a great experience overall Thanks David

Upper Orara Odyssey

We cannot commend David highly enough! He was very personable, took time to get to know us a little and tailored our experience to suit us. David has a very thorough knowledge of rural acreage and the people of the area. It helps that he's a local who is committed to the community. Our experience of purchasing with David as the agent was hassle-free!

First Home Purchase

From the very first day we looked at the property David was more than willing to tell us about the house, the land, the area, the locals and everything it had to offer. Due to Covid 19, coming into the housing market proved difficult with restrictions to inspections however David was more than willing to accommodate inspections with us at suitable times abiding by social distancing measures. Our purchase proved to be a character building experience due to things not always going to plan and difficulties communicating with financiers due to Covid 19, this in turn prolonged the period of being able to exchange contracts. Throughout this whole period David was supportive and understanding ensuring that both parties were aware of everything and managing to keep things moving. We eventually made it to the end and have now moved into our property and David has still been accommodating even after moving, offering to introduce to locals and giving us important knowledge of the area, he has always stated his door is always open and is only a phone call away if we ever need information.

Knowledgeable and attentive

David knowledge and understanding of the people and landscape surrounding the Upper Orara valley really helped the sale of our property. His feedback on potential buyers was swift and accurate and he uses the latest technology to keep a track of property interest and relevant statistics. Feedback was always same day being clear, concise and relevant. I would have no hesitation in recommending David to anyone interested in selling their property. Nigel & Skye

From first communication on past the last... David makes sure you feel connected

Too many agents in the past few months. Most forget to give a call back, some avoid questions - and I, as a buyer from a non-local area, needed to have my sons do the hard work for me. David treated them with the respect that they deserved as potential buyers, all-the-while keeping communication open with me. The onerous job of house searching was eliminated with the help of my posse, this house ticked every box. Any questions I had were quickly answered with knowledge of the area and research done when the questions were more specific. David was friendly, knowledgeable and available. He made the onerous task of house searching into a sweet one of finding a home. Thanks Dave.

Highly recommend

We chose David to sell our home due to his experience and success at selling rural properties in this area. David is very professional and friendly. He kept us up to date with the progress of each inquiry and inspection, and was always available to answer a question or give advice. Thank you, David.
