Testimonials

Dear Rod,
 
Hugh and I wish to extend our heartfelt thanks to you and all the team at Mosman First National for your excellent service not just with the sale of our apartment on 15th February 2014 but also its leasing over the past twenty years, or thereabouts.
 
A special thanks to Skye McGowan for her invaluable assistance before, during, and beyond the marketing campaign for the sale and of course likewise to Isabelle Swarts for her skills and experience in the lead up to the sale and over the many years Mosman First National has looked after the leasing of our property. On that score, we would also like to thank our leasing property manager Tanya Marr for her hard work and sound advice on all associated matters.
 
Once we made the decision to sell, we had no reservations in asking MFN and you in particular Rod to handle the sale of our apartment. And we haven't been disappointed. We are delighted with the result you managed to achieve for us, by far the highest price ever for a two-bedroom unit with a harbour bridge and opera house view in our building, and notwithstanding even more spectacular views from the floors above our second level unit that have sold at lower prices over the past three years.  
 
We very much appreciate your warm, open, and consultative manner and your generous tips and advice along the way as to how best to proceed. Our impression, consolidated at the auction on site, was that you were also able to show the same professional qualities and regard for prospective purchasers by treating them openly, fairly, and with respect, whilst still acting very much on our behalf; and the fact that you were almost invariably spot on with your assessments and forecasts right up to the hammer falling on the third stroke gave us a calm measure of confidence and assurance in what would otherwise have been an extremely stressful situation for us.
 
Kind regards,
 
Marnie Hanlon & Hugh Spence
If you are thinking of seeing a Real Estate Agent, I would highly recommend you to visit First National Mosman and ask for Rod Marr.
 
He is not only a professional, honest, reliable, trust worthy but also a gem of a person, humanitarian and compassionate.
 
To complete the picture he, like "Charlie" has his angels: Sophie, Skye, Isabelle and Tanya that coupled with Rod's direction make a strong team.
 
So if you are buying, selling or renting give them a call, you will not be sorry and will be fully impressed that still exist people that do the right thing the old True Blue way!

Dear Sophie,
 
Kay and I would like to express our sincere thanks for your efforts to finalise the sale of our property with purchasers who are clearly enamoured with the home and have requirements which this place seems to meet.
 
We have appreciated your professionalism and hard work to achieve this outcome. From the first introduction; meeting me in the street while working in the garden; to sales strategies and follow up, you have represented our interests in an honest, caring manner. 
 
You are a great agent, providing balance, leading to a broad spectrum of potential buyers and finally finding the right one! Keep up the good work.

Kind Regards,

Mark & Kay T.

Dear Sophie,

On behalf of my wife and myself I wish to profoundly thank you for the total, professional manner in which you conducted all areas on the successful sale of our apartment. Your seamless approach from day one in all areas of selling our property was exemplary. You are professional as a real estate agent, and in our opinion we could not have found anyone more committed. You are a lady of warmth, sincerity and commitment, and an outstanding sales person and we have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone who is looking to sell their property. 

Best Regards,

Joan and Peter E.

We’ve owned an apartment in Mosman that’s been managed by Rod and his team since we purchased it in 1990.
 
When we decided to sell the property in 2013, we didn’t hesitate to list it with Mosman First National. The marketing campaign was slick, the attention to detail first class and the inspections ran like clockwork. We didn’t get to auction, with Rod extracting an offer from a very happy purchaser well before the auction date. The offer exceeded our ambitious expectations and made the decision to sell very simple.
 
We’d happily go again with Rod and his staff. No question.

Overall it has been a surprisingly pleasant experience buying through you as I have not had anywhere near the same human decency shown to me by many agents. I will be sure to recommend you to anyone I know who may be thinking of buying and selling.

Best Regards,

I would recommend you highly to anyone thinking of using you to sell their property.

Your handling of our sale recently was conducted professionally, thoroughly and strategically. The result you achieved for us was outstanding and was in no small part due to the conscientious approach you took with marketing  and with enquiries from buyers. This groundwork was key to the competitive bidding we saw on auction day.

The constant feedback from both you and your staff was also appreciated.

Thanks and regards,

Matthew D.

Re: Rod Marr, Mosman First National

During the period Rod acted for me I got to know him quite well. I found him to be extremely approachable and friendly. His sales strategy was both achievable and economical. I wasn't pushed to take a lot of unnecessary promotional and advertising gimmicks however his recommendations and advice were both sound and effective.

During all my dealings with Rod I found him to be hard working, very knowledgeable, completely honest and highly professional.

I was extremely satisfied with the service I received from Rod and I would be happy to recommend him as a vendor's agent to anyone selling a property.

Kind regards,

John S.
