Testimonials
We dealt with Chris at First National Tuncurry.
100% recommend choosing this company to deal with your selling and buying needs. We found everyone to be professional, honest , reliable and friendly. To find a local real estate agent that is all that but also achieves immediate results is rare.
We will definitely be utilising them again. Thankyou to everyone at the agency for making what is usually a stressful time (selling your home), easy and stress free.
Our recent experience with the purchase of a property in Forster was wonderful.
Broc was welcoming, friendly, honest, incredibly knowledgeable of the market and what the property was offering, also helpful with location,surrounding areas and services Foster has to offer. Overall a very professional agent who communicates effectively and is accommodating with all enquiries/requests. Represents agency with quality customer service for ultimate goal. Thank you Broc.
Throughout the marketing and sale process, Chris was professional and compassionate in his conduct. His always current knowledge of the market and strategic approach enabled him to provide insightful advice through frequent updates. Chris’ strong communication and friendly demeanour instilled confidence in me that I was selling with the right agent.
Darren Peeters went above and beyond in selling our property under very difficult circumstances. Despite delays and setbacks outside his control, and me not being in the same state, Darren was proactive, persistent and always kept us informed. His professionalism and genuine care delivered a great result. If you want an agent who will fight for you and go the extra mile, Darren is that person. Highly recommended.
This is not the first time that we have dealt with Darren and the team. We have bought and sold through him previously and up until recently, we also rented our property through Darren. We find him very professional, friendly and goes above expectations to get a good result. Darren’s communication, integrity and professionalism is the reason we would thoroughly recommend him and his team at First National Tuncurry.
I have always chosen First National Forster Tuncurry when selling my home. Darren has an outstanding knowledge of the area and the market and is a very experienced agent. Darren always made time to communicate right from the start and all the way through the process. Darren has always been professional, honest and reliable. The service was exceptional.
Exceptional Agent!
We first met Broc at a house inspection years ago, and it was at that appointment that we knew that if we were to sell in the future, he was the agent we wanted to represent us!
Broc is a seasoned professional and a great communicator. He tailored a marketing strategy that has achieved for us a fantastic result in this current changing market.
The entire First National Team were great to deal with, they were friendly, prompt, professional and we would highly recommend anyone thinking about selling their home or a small acreage property like ours, to look no further than this team of Agents and Admin staff to represent you!
10/10!

Case Study
22 Tulloch Road, Tuncurry
At our agency, we conducted a comprehensive market analysis of this property and provided an appraisal range of $1,450,000 to $1,500,000, reflecting the true market value based on comparable sales and local demand. However, the property was initially listed by another agency at an ambitious $1,750,000—well above the realistic market price.
Over the following weeks, the property underwent a series of price reductions as it failed to attract serious buyer interest. The price dropped from $1,750,000 to $1,695,000, then to $1,625,000, and eventually to $1,500,000, before being withdrawn from the market. These reductions reflected a reactive approach to the lack of interest rather than a proactive pricing strategy based on market insights.
After failing to secure a sale with the initial agency, the property was listed with a second agency. In a sharp contrast, it sold within just two weeks—but at a significantly lower price of $1,325,000. This final sale price not only undercut the original asking price by $425,000, but it also fell well below our appraised range, setting a record low for the area.
This scenario illustrates several key lessons about real estate pricing:
- The Danger of Overpricing: Starting with an asking price significantly higher than market value can alienate potential buyers from the outset. When buyers see a property priced well above comparable properties, they may assume the seller is unrealistic or unwilling to negotiate, leading them to look elsewhere.
- The “Stale Listing” Effect: Extended time on the market often damages a property's perceived value. Buyers notice when a property has been listed for weeks or months with multiple price reductions, leading them to assume something must be wrong with it or that the seller is becoming desperate.
- Chasing the Market Down: Each price reduction signals to the market that the seller may be willing to accept even less. Instead of creating urgency, it invites lower offers, ultimately resulting in a lower sale price than if the property had been priced correctly from the beginning.
- Days on Market Impact: In this case, the property lingered on the market for approximately 8 weeks before the second agency took over and sold it within 2 weeks. This contrast shows the difference a correct pricing strategy and fresh marketing approach can make.
- Lost Potential: Had the property been priced correctly within the market range from the outset, it might have attracted more interest, leading to a higher final sale price and a shorter time on the market. Instead, the seller endured months of frustration and a disappointing sale price—$175,000 lower than the bottom of our appraised range.
- The Value of Local Expertise: Our agency’s appraisal was accurate and in line with the local market dynamics. This reinforces the importance of engaging with agents who have deep knowledge of the local market and can provide honest, realistic advice from the beginning.
