Selling and buying is always stressful, not too many good things about any house change, but our house sold very quickly and before we knew it we were in our new house! We were happy when it was all over but First National and the gorgeous Nick plus his equally gorgeous staff made it always relatively pleasant. Thanks to all!! PS We will nominate Nick for the starring role in the next production of King Kong!!!!
We were happy with our experience because we knew that Nick van Vliet was aware that we were keen and very interested in the Willunga area. Thus he responded to the Vendors need to sell and our need to buy in a very efficient and timely manner. He kept us informed of properties that would be of interest to us. Even though we thought some were out of our league, if we hadn't of had nicks encouragement to view the opens we may not have found our dream home! Many thanks Nick and team!
We approached Nick for an appraisal on our mother’s house. We found him friendly, honest and straightforward giving us a realistic price range for the property. He obviously loves what he does. He helped us with simple suggestions on minor improvements that would enhance the property without detracting from its essential character. The entire process from the first contact to the sale at auction was carefully planned and we were kept informed at every turn. The photographs were fantastic and showed the property in the best light. It was a stressful time for us as mum was moved to an aged care facility after breaking her hip and amongst other things the entire house needed to be sorted and cleared. Nick was there for us the entire time encouraging and cajoling us into some sort of order, responding to late night emails when help was needed. The process could not have been better managed and all three of us are more than happy to recommend Nick and would certainly use him again if the need arose. Thank you Nick! The Cameron family, Ruth, Ros and Pru.
Nick was very professional and made sure he kept in contact with us through the purchase. We didn't have to do any chasing up. Probably one of the few agents that "works". I'd recommend Nick to anyone buying or selling in the southern area.
Many thanks for selling my house Nick. It was an amazing experience, and I was so glad that it sold before going on the market!. The price I got was about what I was asking, and really, the whole thing went like clockwork! Many thanks to you, Nick, and to your lovely staff. Norm
Dear Nick We would like to express our gratitude for all your assistance throughout our sale process. When we decided to sell our beloved home we never expected to enlist a knowledgeable, compassionate person such as yourself. Words like honest, showed integrity, dedicated and caring are not normal words that you would associate with a real estate agent however these are the words that we have been using to describe you to all that will listen. You have always been extremely thorough and professional. Your attention to detail and local real estate knowledge was invaluable. You took the time to offer us your valuable advice on presenting our home prior to us listing with you. We appreciated how open and honest you were always with us. You always took the time to call us to keep us in the loop and update us on every step of the process. You were always just a phone call away or knocking on the door very early in the morning. It has been a pleasure working with someone whose primary interest was selling our beloved home, who never pressured us but was always patient and enthusiastic. We know it wasn't an easy job, but you really showed us that you cared a lot about our family as our agent and even more so as the friend that you have become to us. We hope that any future clients will realize how committed you are and that you will always give 100%. They would be extremely fortunate to have you as their agent. We look forward to working with you to find our new home; we know we are in safe hands. Thank you for everything. Kind Regards Chris & Kylie
Nick and his team did a wonderful job. We were so happy that we chose Nick to market our property. We would not hesitate to recommend him to others – in fact we already have.”
Thank for the very professional manner in which you have managed our sale of Norman. Investing in real estate is a passion of ours and as a consequence we deal with agents all over Australia. Nick and his team have far exceeded our expectations and have impressed us with their market knowledge, responsiveness, professionalism and personalised customer service. We highly recommend you contact Nick if your want RESULTS ! Allan & Elizabeth Keogh
Direct and honest appraisal of our home. Nick has an eye for detail and was able to help us with presentation ideas.• Nick always responded quickly to emails and phone calls including weekends and evenings. * The whole of First National team visited ur property which enabled them to promote our home to prospective buyers.• Nick personally hand delivered our VIP date tour brochures to our surrounding neighbourhood. (At first I questioned this) until our neighbour said that the first thing she did was to get onto her facebook account and ask her friends if they wanted to be her neighbour, this advertising our home further.• A photography session was booked with an experienced and very professional “real estate” photographer who took her time to deliver exceptional photos of our home.• Nick van Vliet Frist National have their own facebook page which is regularly updated, community minded and sales focused.• Sarah (Marketing) is amazing with words and came to our home and was able to establish a really good feel for our home and marketed it exactly how we would have.• We were kept informed/updated every step of the way.• Everyone we spoke to from First National were friendly, supportive, positive, professional and 100% committed to selling our home with minimal fuss and expense.• First Nationals database of buyers are emailed and sent regular text messages about homes coming onto the market and sms’d prior to open inspections.• We had 2 x offers presented to us after our VIP Opening. We never felt pressured to accept the offers. Nick wanted to achieve the best outcome for us not just a quick sale. We felt in control every step of the way. A big THANKYOU to Nick and the entire Southern Vales First National Team for turning what can be a very stressful time into a time of excitement and moving forward.
Dear Nick, Todd and I wanted to write you a short note of thanks in relation to you selling our home and assisting us in purchasing our next adventure. Our first thoughts about Nick were that he was professional, courteous, empathetic and warm. He was always willing to come out to see us whilst we weighed up our options and his advice was genuine and personalised which was very refreshing. He and his team have gone above and beyond for us as customers by striving to meet our personal goals, whilst ensuring that we felt safe and happy during the entire sale and purchasing process. Nick and his team's honesty is unparalleled and is the only real estate company we have dealt with that is more interested in their customers' getting what they want, then profit. It isn't often you deal with agents who are so transparent and honest about the process and who give a clear and accurate idea about the price range, suburb statistics, advice and updates. We would certainly recommend you to anybody looking to buy or sell in the area, you made the whole process stress free and enjoyable. Thank you so much for your time and dedication selling our property and effort in securing our new home. Kind Regards, The Lowe Family.
From our first meeting I felt comfortable and confident with Nick's abilities to sell our beloved home. He was always accessible, happy to answer the phone or come by all times of the day and night. He impressed us with his dedication to his craft. One evening he even walked the streets at 10pm to drop off our flyers. We had an offer after our first open and Nick negotiated a great price for our home.. Nick's after sale service was also second to none. He bent over backwards to help me when I found a house in another area. Thanks Nick you truly are a Winner! Helen and James Manning
I cannot praise nick enough for his professionalism, friendliness and above all amazing result when selling our home. We weren't sure we were making the right decision selling a home we had put so much into. Nick was patient and understanding, initially supplying me the information I needed to make a decision in my own time whether we wanted to sell. Nick understood how special our home was to us, and gave our home the attention we felt it deserved. Having since dealt with many other agents in the region while looking to purchase our next home, I can attest that nicks marketing strategies are second to none. He is the only agent I have encountered who makes contact with his extensive database of buyers, not waiting for buyers to come to him. our first open held before our property had been marketed anywhere except to nicks database resulted in over 30 groups.....we were in awe!! In addition, he negotiated an amazing price, from 2 separate buyers, both above the top end of our asking price, and terms that suited us. Nick is professional, patient, understanding and most importantly, HE KNOWS HIS STUFF! I have not met another agent as passionate as nick, a passion that was evident when he presented our home to buyers. A man of great integrity, he accepted nothing less than perfection when selling our home. He understood that this was our biggest asset, and worked hard to ensure the best result. I have no doubt we would not have achieved the same result had we chosen a different agent. I can highly recommend nick to anyone looking to sell their home. Thanks again nick!
