A professional, who actually cares about his clients
Selling our property was not something we were looking forward to. Simply the hassle of dealing with real estates etc, was not something that we had enjoyed in the past.
Richard and his team have changed our entire outlook.
From our first meeting, Richard was nothing short of a professional, who actually cares about his clients.
There was no pushy sales talk, no hassling, just straight forward communication.
When we did decided to sell, everything just happened without any hassle.
We were politely kept informed constantly, by all the team that were involved, and made to feel that we were in control all the way.
Again, nothing pushy, just polite communication.
If you're looking for an honest agent, don't go past Richard and the team at 1st National Yamba.
Thanks Richard. Honestly, it's been a pleasure.

My First Choice
Richard Hunt was excellent to deal with.
Professional, attention to detail and goes the extra mile.
He will be my first choice for any future real estate dealings.
A Prompt Sale at the Right Price
I would like to publicly acknowledge and thank Jo, Richard, and the team at First National Yamba for the sale of my home in Yamba. Selling the family home where my children were raised was a very emotional time for myself and my family. Jo was not only professional, but very empathetic to my ever changing emotions. Jo got me a prompt sale for the right price, making the process seamless and a positive experience. The sale was made easier by the inclusion of our elderly cats, who remained with the house happily with the new owners. Thank you so much Jo and Richard.
- Melinda P -Yamba NSW

I was always kept informed and received great feedback therefore highly recommend the team at First National Yamba.

Incredibly Responsive & Highly Recommended
Richard and the team at First National have been an absolute delight to deal with during our recent house purchase. Richard went above and beyond to assist us with all enquiries, particularly appreciated given that we live interstate. He was incredibly responsive and made the entire process smooth and easy. We highly recommend Yamba First National.
- Erin P -Flowerdale VICWell Done!
Well done, Yamba First National. At 73 it was my first time - to sell a property. David and Team made it a worthwhile experience, received through their local knowledge and their exercise of professional duties.
- Michael B -Chipping Norton NSWBest Real Estate Experience Ever!
Thanks Richard, Jake and the whole team for making the selling process the best real estate experience I’ve ever had. Professional and superior communicators.
- Bradley J -Yamba NSW'On the money' with sale price estimate
Richard was great from start to finish in the sale of our house. He was professional and reliable and communication was fantastic. As we lived interstate Richard went above and beyond to make the whole process easy, saving us time and money. He was ‘on the money’ with his sale price estimate, securing us a buyer in a short time. We had previously purchased a house through Richard and that process was just a professional and easy. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Richard and his agency for any of your property needs.
- Claire W -Nerang QLDNothing is a bother
My relationship with Shayne goes back 10 years when she managed my first Yamba holiday rental. Last year when we once again purchased we had no hesitation in going back to Shayne and First National. Shayne shares the same passion and concerns that we do and is meticulous in her reporting, and delightful with her overall can do attitude. Nothing is a bother and she has normally thought of everything before we even have to address any issues. She is active, compassionate and a great local ambassador. I would not hesitate to recommend the holiday letting team to any owner!

- Raelee T -Yamba NSWProfessional, honest and transparent
For the last 15 years I have dealt with Yamba First National exclusively for all my property requirements in and around Yamba. I recently completed the sale of my most recent property and cannot thank them enough. Richard, David, Jo and the whole team were exceptional at every stage of the journey. I deal with real estate agents and their businesses for a living it is refreshing that Richard and the team brought a professional, honest and transparent service to the journey. At no stage was I unclear of where the sale was at, what I should expect in a challenging market, and, the results were delivered above my expectations. I personally could recommend all intending vendors reach out to Richard and the YFN team as I have no doubt they will deliver the same industry leading experience that I continue to enjoy.

Richard was so great with selling my house. He went over and above what was needed to do. I would recommend he to people that are going to sell in Yamba.
- Brett M -Yamba NSWUnderstanding and empathetic
Most friendly and helpful real estate in Yamba! I was asked to vacate my property while I was overseas, and could not look for a property myself. A friend explained my situation to the agents at First National and they were so understanding and empathetic that they helped me secure a rental within the same week I returned from overseas. Renae has been the most unreal agent! She was responsive and accommodating to my needs and questions in a timely and efficient manner.
- Lisa FWent above and beyond
I have bought and sold a property with Jo Boxsell and have been very happy with her services in both instances. Jo has been very professional in her dealings with me, her feedback on the sales program was exceptional, and she went above and beyond in helping me with contacts for tradesmen etc. I have been buying and selling real estate for many years and this is by far the easiest, most pleasant experience during all that time. Would thoroughly recommend her, her associate Richard, and the agency in general.
