Rental Market Update
The rental market in Kiama, NSW, is experiencing strong demand from both locals and newcomers drawn to the area’s coastal charm. However, affordability is becoming a significant challenge, with rental prices continuing to rise. Many property owners are choosing to reclaim their rentals due to the increasing costs of maintaining investment properties, further tightening supply. While smaller, more affordable properties are being snapped up quickly, larger executive rentals are taking longer to lease as tenants face cost-of-living pressures. Overall, the market reflects a blend of high demand and affordability constraints.

Anne-Marie has been exceptional to work with
I would like to acknowledge the excellent work that Anne-Marie does, and to compliment Anne-Marie on the level of service and professionalism that she provides Anne-Marie has been exceptional to work with and she has responded quickly to various maintenance matters at the property, which she does in a friendly, engaging and solutions minded focus. I am sure the current tenants are equally as satisfied too.

Deb has been beyond incredible, organising and supporting us in our new rental. Thank you for your hard work, swift responses and ongoing commitment to First National and your clients.
Highly recommend Lorraine!
We are delighted to share our very positive experience with Lorraine Shaw of Coast & Country First National as the managing real estate agent for our rental property. From the very beginning, Lorraine has demonstrated professionalism, dedication, and a deep understanding of the real estate market.
Always Responsive & Helpful
We would like to thank Tricia Murdoch and her team for the way she has handled the tenants during our ownerhip in Gerroa. Always responsive, helpful, with our best interests at heart but also being fair to the tenants. Thankyou Tricia from us both. Best wishes.
Vandre is brilliant!
Vandre has been my managing agent for well over 6 months. She had to take over management of a very difficult tenant. Vandre did a brilliant job navigating issues that arose, going way beyond the call of duty to avoid problems for us the landlords. I have no hesitation in recommending Vandre as a most professional property manager who is committed and extremely reliable. Vandre is also able to provide my personal phone number should a verbal reference be required.
