  • The team at David Haggarty have been a pleasure to lease through. The end of our tenancy has been very smooth and the team has kept us informed through the whole process and even allowing us to return to the property to fix a couple minor issues. I wouldn’t hesitate to rent through FN Maitland and the team again. Thank you team!

  • This is the best real estate I have ever had. Extremely prompt at addressing maintenance. Quick processing of applications. Go above and beyond, even left a little care package when we moved in :)
    B. McGregor - Tenant
  • Always a pleasure dealing with Mick and the Team. No hassles, just great service!
    Lance - Vendor
  • A wonderful real estate agency in an extremely positive contrast to some of the professionals we've deal with as a family. As a supporting business to Carrie's Place, assisting women like us following domestic violence; the professionalism and promptness was refreshing, and we deeply and sincerely appreciated the team going above and beyond to help us find a safe home to move into with such ease. Communication is excellent and the in-house use of the app makes managing everything so much simpler than back and forth email chains. I could not personally thank the team more or praise them higher.
    Anska - Tenant
  • Chose First National to lease my first property and i am glad i did. The team made it extremely easy and continue to be very helpful and polite. Top service!
    Tyson - Landlord
  • Pat Howard from First National David Haggarty is Highly Recommended. After speaking to a handful of local agents and having a few appraisals, they were all a bit too busy telling me how great they were. However Pat Howard informed me of all the positives of my property and the best possible way to market the property. Obviously this worked very well with an excellent sales price within 2 weeks. There was also great back up from the rest of the team.
    John - Vendor
  • We had been tenants of a home leased by David haggarty, and I must say they have been the BEST realestate we’d ever dealt with. Fixing any concerns that arose quickly, polite team and absolutely awesome property managers! Nearly 3 years of being a teneant and all processes that usually are a drag and hassle with realestates, we’re definitely not with David Haggarty First National. Donna in particular was amazing and honest and open while her communication skills were second to none. I am so grateful to have been in a home managed by such a great team and I would not hesitate to use them again if we ever needed to lease again, buy, sell or even lease out our own home. Thanks guys, 1000000/10!
    Kelsie - Tenant
  • So up until recently, I had been renting with David Haggarty at Maitland for the past 10 years. I have found them to be honest, reliable and very friendly. From reception who always answers straight away happy friendly voice which is great Any problems or issues I've had over the years they have always been very understanding and patient no matter how big or small. Donna hetherington can't not thankyou enough for everything she has done to help me and assist me over the years. This lady who I have never met in person yet I feel like I know her from all the phone calls and emails over the years is a true credit to this company

  • Please accept my thanks and appreciation for all your help in searching for the right rental property for me and my children. Your professionalism is far superior to any other real estate in the Maitland area. Your communication was outstanding every step of the way, whether it was written, over the phone or in person. You guys actually return calls and emails. Something your competitors lack substantially. By far your stand out quality is finding the right place for the right person. You should be proud of that. Whilst, I didn’t end up finding the right place through your agency on this occasion (I was lucky in finding a private rental through a friend), I think it’s important that you and the owners of your agency know how outstanding your service is. Thank you for all your help in finding beautiful properties for my family and for providing confidence in me that I could find the right place. I will certainly be back when looking for rentals in the future. A friend was looking for a real estate agent to manage her rental. She posted about it on Facebook. So I highly recommended your agency and gave you a glowing review. Thank you and keep that high level of service going.
