" Everything and more! "
I spoke to a number of local agents before deciding who to use for the sale of my 6 home development. Having just retired as an estate agent myself with my own company for over 35 years I knew what I was looking for, someone who had good local knowledge, a clean reputation, good communication skills, access to all the right marketing and most of all enthusiasm for the product they had to sell. Andy had all of these and more. The proof has been in the putting with a great result in what have been difficult times, always letting me know the progress of each negotiation and subsequent sale and discussing various marketing tweaks as the market changed throughout the 18 month process. I highly recommend Andy from Coast and County First National to any prospective seller.
" Outstanding Agent "
Andy, Sue and the team at First National Real Coast & Country Kiama were outstanding. They had a clear strategy and worked very hard to market our property from day one. The communication was excellent along the way and they went “above and beyond” to achieve an outstanding result via auction. I could not recommend them more highly.

Well done Andy, coupled with a supportive wife this combo is superlative.

" Superstar Agent "
Andy Wharton would have to be my favourite agent by far, and as I have been a renter for the past 20 years up till this point I have experienced my fair share of realestate agents. Nothing is too much trouble for him, and I can always depend upon a friendly phone call or face when we are communicating. Clearly he has a wealth of experience within this industry and I will be seeking his expertise again when seeking/renting my investment property! Thank you for my new home.
" I believe him to be scrupulously honest. "
Mr Andy Wharton has acted as my estate agent for several years, with respect to the sale of several rental properties in Kiama owned by my late husband. Andy is also helping me at present, with respect to the sale of my property in Kiama, which is now being finalised. Andy has been extremely helpful at all times, and continues to be efficient, very well versed in the state of the property market on the south coast, and in NSW generally. He is always friendly and very polite. I would seek out Andy again should I consider further property in that area, and I wish him every success in his endeavours in future.
