During the negotiations we found Gerard to be fair and reasonable. His help in enabling us to move containers to the property and actually moving in before settlement was extremely helpful.

As previous clients we chose Gerard Canavan due to his extensive local knowledge and his experience in giving accurate information to us, whether purchasing or selling. He is always pleasant and reliable.

My wife and I were looking for a home in the Macs Cove area and were lucky enough to have Gerard Canavan show us through the home we eventually bought. Gerard's genuine and honest nature struck us straight away and his local knowledge of the area was very evident. Once we had settled on a price, Gerard made the process quick and the easy, and we felt at ease with our decision. Unfortunately the vendor hit a hurdle prior to settlement, with some damage to the property. As the vendor was in her 80's Gerard went out of his way to provide advice and assurance to her, then attended the address and took photographs and video of the damage, which he provided to us, the purchasers. To say Gerard went over and above the call of duty as an estate agent is an understatement. His genuine caring nature for his clients is the reason we wouldn't buy or sell property in the Mansfield area without going through Gerard Canavan at First National. He was a pleasure to deal with and we couldn't recommend him more highly.

Gerard was outstanding to work with, knowledge of the area is great and always had us at ease with the process and would use definitely again if needed. Could not have been happier. Thanks Gerard and the team. Cheers Paul

Great agent, always returned phone calls, very knowledgeable about the area we bought in, would definitely recommend.👍

Gerry Canavan is knowledgeable and understands the way real estate works. A good listener, with clear and transparent strategies for sellers (and buyers...we bought property through his company as well!)

We couldn't be happier with the purchase of our new home. From start to finish the process was made simple and easy by Gerard. All communication we had with Gerard whether through emails, SMS texts or phone calls were responded to straight away. The negotiations were kept simple and we made the deal very quickly. When I was unable to return the signed contracts due to two sick and infectious children Gerard came with groceries which was just a godsend at that time.

After purchasing our weekender in Jamieson, from Gerard, about 14 years ago, we decided to sell it by him as well. He was really easy to deal with, took great photos of the house and had it advertised within a couple of days. The house sold for exactly what we asked, in only two weeks!! A brilliant job by Gerard.

Gerard was great to deal with and the communication was profession and friendly. We sold the house within days and got the price we wanted. Highly recommend Gerard and the team.

Gerard was recommended by our Jamieson community! As we enquired with local friends about the best agent, our criteria was knowledgeable about the market, good communicator, honest operator. Gerard was all those things! Advice from friends was to settle in and expect up to a 2-year time period to sell our home but it went on the market in April and settlement was in September! We highly recommend Gerard and Canavan's!

Gerard, you did an outstanding job for us mate. We could not have asked for more. You set a very high benchmark for other agents to achieve.

Our testimonial is simple. We met Gerard Canavan through mutual friends when we first came to Goughs Bay. Way back when, we casually mentioned to Gerard we would someday have him as our real estate agent when the time came to sell our property in Goughs Bay. We could see Gerard’s awesomeness in his success of buying and selling homes in the Mansfield Shire. His expertise received in staging and alteration recommendations were spot on. During the remodelling phase, we welcomed his professional opinions, as well as using the people he has used in the past for the various upgrading. They all worked perfectly. The photography in the virtual tour and brochures were great. Never once doubting Gerard, as well as his staff, we were certain our home would sell… and it did! Our recommendation to have Gerard Canavan as your agent is rock solid.
