Was dealing with Kristie and Eddie and they made every step so easy, and managed to get more than what I was asking for, at such a fast turn around. Couldn't be happier don't hesitate if you're looking for a real estate agent.

  • I have been a client of Druitt & Shead for approximately 18 yrs. They managed the purchase of my investment unit which i lived in for a year or two, managed the rental of it after that and have now finally sold it for me all these years later. For nearly 20 years the experience was a very positive one and i found the team always had my best interests at heart, but were also very fair in making sure my tenants were looked after.

  • I have dealt with this family business for about 30 years as a landlord and finally a property vendor. In all of that time Druitts have been very organised and meticulous. Besides that ... they a GOOD people!

  • This is how property management SHOULD be! My manager is the person who inspects my property and knows my tenants. She understands the issues and works with me to ensure the best outcome for myself and my tenants. I've had the same manager for over a decade, in an industry where skilled staff retention is most uncommon! Solution focused. I couldn't ask for better. Thank you.

  • We bought our rental property in the early 2000's. Apart from the first year or two when it was occupied by a family member it has been managed by First National. We "interviewed" a number of companies for this job before making our decision. Our choice has proven to be a good one since we have been very satisfied with the performance of First National. All aspects such as periodic inspections, reporting of work required, arranging tradesmen, managing payments to utilities, securing new tenants, advice on rental amount have all been excellent.
