2023 is well-underway, it’s hard to believe we are already in April.

General enquiries increased and open homes saw a surge in buyer activity as they resurface from the holiday period As far as 2023 is looking, there is light at the end of the tunnel as far as interest rate rises are concerned This will no doubt help with buyer confidence, and we expect a flow of more engaged buyers as the year progresses.

We have started the year with an abundance of fantastic sales! Feature sales of the past quarter include; Ryan Stalgis negotiating 110 Headland Drive, Gerroa for a spectacular $5,100,000, Terry Digger and Abbey Murphy achieving a street record at 3 Alison Street, Kiama for $1,375,000 and Claire Nunn achieved an outstanding street record of $1,635,000 for 19 Mathews Street, Shoalhaven Heads! We still have plenty of amazing

Rental Market Update

As the interest rates have risen this year we have seen landlords starting to move back into their own properties due to soaring costs of maintaining a rental property. With people still lining up to move into the region, affordability has become difficult for some local residents. At the moment the current market is stable with not a lot of movement by tenants, partly due to the lack of options available and as tenants are choosing to stay in their current rentals and absorb any rent increase that they may receive passed on by landlords due to increasing rate rises.

A word from our clients...

Courteous, honest, and professional

We have always found Deb to be courteous, honest, professional and goes out of her way to assist us in any matters relating to our property. She always is available for any query we may have and will always follow it up immediately. We have a good communion between us and she always keeps us up to date on any matters relating to our property.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Deb to family and friends for the management of their rental property’s.

Efficient and Reliable

Anne-Marie has been a fantastic rental property manager. She is extremely professional, quick to respond and a great communicator. I am so grateful for all that AnneMarie and the Team at First National Coast and Country Kiama have done to make our journey a great experience

Professional and Friendly!

Lorraine is very responsive to any issues or concerns, she takes action without delay and always follows up with us to ensure a positive outcome. She is also very friendly & her nature is engaging and warm. She has made us feel like family in this small community. Whenever we have had to liaise with any of the team they have all been professional and welcoming and also act quickly.

Greatly Appreciated

Tricia Murdoch was our property manager for over 2 years. We have had dealings with property managers for over 25 years. We found Trisha to be the most responsive and attentive manager to date. Her tenacity to do her job with professional pride was greatly appreciated. Always calm, friendly, knowledgeable and precise. We would thoroughly recommend her. Thank you Tricia for being a delight to deal with.

Professional and a pleasure to deal with

We leased through Vandre over the past three years and found her to be very professional. She always followed up promptly on any requests, kept to appointment times and was very thorough with the inspections. Her expectations were clear and specific on the standards required and she was fair and reasonable. A pleasure to work with.

Commercial Property

Debra Murphy has been working here at First National Coast and Country for the past 5 years as our residential property manager and has recently transitioned into our commercial property management role.

Debra has worked in the Real Estate industry for most of her working life and having owned and operated her own Real Estate and Stock and Station Agency for many years she pride's herself on effective communication, accountability and problem solving as being central for a successful working relationship.

Debra is happy to assist you in all your commercial real estate needs.

A word from Deb's clients...

Great experience

I wanted to say how grateful we are for the way Deb Murphy managed the rental of our property in Tanner Place. We have friends who tell horror stories of their rental investment properties and the way they were mismanaged and damaged, but we have no such stories to tell. Deb has been very careful in the recommendation of tenants & in the regular inspections to keep us informed regarding the way it was being looked after. So when we came to sell it there was nothing that needed to be done

Responsive and proactive

I have found Deb Murphy to be a great Property Manager in that she is always responsive, proactive and pleasant to deal with, I am happy for her to manage my properties as it means less for me to do. Deb presents solutions and NOT problems, which makes it easier for me to manage, these comments are based on my dealings with other Property Managers / Real Estate Companies

Absolute superstar

Our property manager Deb Murphy is an absolute superstar. She helped us so much through out our sea change South away from Sydney and I couldn't say enough nice things about her to ne honest. We are now settled and happy as can be. Thanks again Deb.

Always been impressed

Since we moved our leasing arrangements from another agent a few years ago due to poor management of the lease, we have always been impressed with your agency & we have been so pleased with Deb and her role.

A word from our clients...

H & A-M Berry – Breeze on Barclay Could not be more impressed

After years of considering whether to holiday let our property, we decided to proceed with Rachel at Coast & Country Holidays, and could not be more impressed. As a busy working couple with four kids, Rachel has taken away any hard work associated with making this happen and enabled us to earn additional income without the associated hassle. Communication is always clear and seamless, reporting is first class and the team go above and beyond to ensure our property is looked after as if it were their own. I only wish we’d signed up sooner. Thank you to all at Coast & Country Holidays, especially Rachel, for making this such a great experience.

V& L O’Callaghan – Summerhill View Rachel’s professionalism is reassuring

Rachel has been working with us to manage our holiday rental property for the past few years. During that time Rachel has managed guests enquiries, a series of incidents and repairs and other emergencies. We are very grateful at the diligence and tenacity with which Rachel and her team have negotiated interactions with companies such as Airbnb. Having the support of someone of Rachel’s professionalism is reassuring for property owners who live more than two hours drive away.

T Malone – Seadance Helpful, Professional & Friendly

Rachel Mackenzie is first class real estate operator. We own a holiday rental in Gerroa, and right from the outset, Rachel came across as extremely helpful, professional and friendly. It made our initial choice of real estate management so much easier. Ever since, Rachel and her team at Coast and Country have been terrific in handling all the various things required when letting a holiday house. Everything has been thought through and the end result is a seamless process for both landlord and our really valued tenants – so that they come back again. We would thoroughly recommend Rachel.
