Tara is tenacious and hardworking! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Tara is an amazing agent to work with! This is our second time working with Tara. She hustled and worked crazy hours at the very end of her pregnancy to ensure our sale went off without a hitch. She's always professional, always easy to talk to and knowledgable on the Byron Bay market. She's not only a top agent in Byron Bay but a big part of the community and just a fantastic person to be acquainted with! I highly recommend Tara and her team!

We couldn't have asked for more! An all around fantastic agent.

Tara & Su from First National sold our family home within a few weeks, setting a record price for our area. Tara was completely transparent throughout the entire sale process and her market knowledge combined with her innate people skills surpassed our expectations all the while making the sale experience an enjoyable and seamless one. Thank you, Tara - we appreciate all of your efforts!!

A good experience auctioning my property through Tara Torkkola and her team

I recently marketed my property in Pinnacle Row . Lennox Head through Tara of First National Real Estate, Byron Bay. I had two appraisals one with a Lennox Head agent . The other Lennox agents I did not call in having had poor experiences with them in the past. I have bought and sold 4 properties in the area over the past 20 years.I think that Lennox Head agents are generally lazy and have held the local market back for years . To the detriment of home sellers and investment property owners. Tara had much better ideas of marketing. Was prepared to Auction on site. Not in a club with poker machines and beer swillers. She suggested I use a stylist to give my home a bit more appeal. She used a class auctioneer, not just a hack. I liked the fact she had an assistant and marketing people placing advertisements professionally.Thefore Tara could concentrate on working on finding the best selection of buyers and bidders for my sale. I like the way the staff and agents work as a team . I have met quite a few of the individuals from First National Byron and found them all well presented, polite, professional and punctual. I was a unsure re the cost of the styling which involve the removal of many of my possessions and furniture. However I went with Tara's marketing plan once I decided to appoint her as my agent. I simply left everything to her and went away on holidays given access . The whole time I Was away I was updated by email of all advertising, given the opportunity to comment on this, phoned regularly. Tara and her teams communications and effort was outstanding. I set what I thought was a realistic reserve and hoped for the best. By auction morning there were 13 registered bidders, a crowd of over 100. Even a coffee cart dispensing much needed calming coffee and tea. The result? Over $100,000 over my reserve which was more than $100,000 more than the top estimate of the other local agents best estimate. If I had chosen anyone but Tara I would have undersold

Tara did it again!

This is the third time we have used Tara to buy or sell a house, and she's come up trumps every time. What a pleasure to deal with - even when there were some initial disappointing setbacks in this, Tara remained calm and positive and above all communicated clearly and in a straightforward manner. It was difficult to follow her advice, but we trusted her judgement and she was right - she gave sound advice that brought us the best price for this property.

An invaluable asset to the team!

Tara was an absolute pleasure to work with. Knowledgeable, competent, and committed, she was highly professional and personable at all times. Our experience could not have been more positive. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her or work with her again.

Attentive Agent

My husband and I recently purchased our dream property in Myocum NSW. Tara Torkkola was the agent who looked after us from start to finish. Tara was very professional, helpful and personal throughout the whole experience. She seemed to have a good relationship with the seller and was able to help us communicate with the seller quickly and effectively. Tara has strong knowledge of the local area. I would recommend her as an agent. Bria Sydney
