We found First National very positive in their approach to selling property, informing us of any and all aspects of the listing. Thank you very much to Sylvia. T & E McArdle
The whole purchase was very easy, Sylvia made the effort out of work hours to help me with issues that she didn't have to help me with. Very helpful and not pushy after just viewing the property. B Hitch

Renting and selling many houses over our time using different agents and First National Murray Bridge is TOP of the class. They are No. 1 when it comes to finding the right key to open the door. Sylvia and her staff are First when it comes to all the little things like paperwork inspections, communication, contracts, sales and above all ‘Money’ the rent paid. Thanks again Sylvia for you prompt help and look forward to working with your number one team in the future. P.S thanks for the wine and chocolates. M & B Phillips

This graph illustrates the importance of pricing correctly. The centreline represents market value. As you move above this market value, you attract much smaller percentage of prospective buyers, greatly reducing you chances of a sale. As you move below market value, you attract a much larger percentage of potential buyers. When setting a price for your property, the listing level must strike a balance between the seller’s needs to achieve the best-possible return and the buyer’s needs to get good value. Establishing Market Value The market value of your property is determined in exactly the same way as any other commodity - what a buyer is willing to pay for it in today's market. Despite the price you paid originally, or the value is determined by market forces. Look at the Competition Buyers look at about a dozen properties on average before making an offer on a property. As a result, they have a good overview of the market and will compare your property against the competition. If its not in line with similar properties that are available, buyers wont consider it good value for money

FIONA FALZON
PROPERTY MANAGEMENT TEAM LEADER
As a Landlord, changing your agent might be one of those things you’d rather not face, and, after all, aren’t all Property Managers the same anyway? They find a tenant, collect the rent and pay the bills. Not necessarily. Spare Fiona a few moments and she’ll explain why First National Real Estate Murray Bridge’s Property Management Team makes all the difference. ‘Property Managers are sometimes perceived as little more than law enforcers on a battlefield between Landlord and Tenant. That’s unfortunate, unnecessary, and misunderstands the true value a motivated Property Manager can bring to the equation’ says Fiona. Fiona and the Team see contemporary Property Management as an opportunity to go beyond simply managing your affairs. They look for opportunities to enhance your ownership experience, the capital value of your property, the experience of your tenant and, naturally, your yield. Fiona’s career in Real Estate began some 22 years ago in the United Kingdom as a Sales Agent. Upon immigrating to Australia she became a qualified Property Manager, managing and growing a rent role in the eastern suburbs of Adelaide.
