​Our Difference

Every big real estate brand makes a range of claims when it comes to the advantages your business could gain from becoming a franchisee or member.

The difference at First National Real Estate is that we're an Adaptive Cooperative, and our administration is not-for-profit. So, more of every dollar you invest in membership is returned to you in the form of leads, training, systems, brand profile and management support.

But don't just take our word for it! Hear what a member of First National has to say...

What does our brand mean for your business?

Our brand and your business

Consumers identify First National Real Estate agents as the ones that provide all the ingredients that are the top drivers of satisfaction. This means you'll win more listings, more property managements, and make more sales with the First National brand.

Buying or selling real estate is amongst the biggest life decisions your customers make, and they want to know they're in safe hands. So, which real estate brands are getting things right, and which should be packing their bags?

To find out, three separate research agencies independently surveyed Australian adults who had employed an agent recently, whether it related to the buying or selling of a property, lease management or renting.

The results

Profitability

There's an industry perception that First National offers very little other than a brand. Our competitors pound this message and we understand it's entirely believable. How could it be otherwise, when our annual fixed fee equates to barely more than the commission on two or three property sales?

The truth is, the value offering at First National is as good if not better than many of the franchise offerings, and there's a simple reason why - we're not here to make profit for shareholders or private owners.

More of your fees are returned to you in support, resources and benefits than with any other brand.

Join Us At Our Annual Convention





What does it cost to be a member of First National?


First National Real Estate operates on a flat monthly fee designed to suit your location - urban, district, village or digital. We don't charge a percentage of your sales or property management income.

So, the key benefit is that as your business grows, your fees don't. You simply make more profit.
Depending on your situation, a typical annual membership fee is the equivalent of the average commission you would earn on the sale of 2 to 3 median-priced homes. 

Remember, if a brand requires a percentage of your sales and property management turnover, your fees rise as your business grows - with massive long-term impacts on your wealth creation.
