Our company had its beginning in 1917. The founder father, Frank Facey was born in Cranbourne, Victoria and after a career in coach building , started a Real Estate business in Dandenong.
Frank opened the doors of his Estate Agency in the main street of Dandenong and in 1945 a new site was purchased and a new office built. In fact, today the current First National Real Estate Hall & Partners office is on the same site.
Frank’s son Angus joined his father in the business in 1930. His son Andrew followed in his footsteps and joined his father in the business in 1968 and took over the management in 1974 .
During the 90’s the group comprised an industrial office in Dandenong as well as residential offices in Dandenong, Berwick, Narre Warren, Endeavour Hills , Mulgrave, Glen Waverley and Pakenham.
The Berwick office combined with Hudson Real Estate Berwick in the late 90’s and in 2002 combined with Cremin Real Estate (Pakenham) . Both Bill Hudson and Jack Cremin were icons in their communities. In recent years the group has consolidated to 3 offices located in Berwick, Narre Warren & Pakenham.
Exciting times at First National. In July 2011 another change to the business with Andrew Facey our friend and landlord selling out and reserving the name Frank Facey for his new development company. Our new trading name will be First National Real Estate Neilson Partners with the partnership across our 3 offices, Narre Warren, Berwick and Pakenham.
Modern technology has been embraced with the computer support linking all residential offices to promote all properties and to support our vendors. As members of First National we also enjoy the benefit of a 500-office strong referral network throughout Australia and New Zealand.
Today we offer property management across our 3 offices, both residential and commercial as well as sales of all categories of real estate.
Our commitment is long term and to fulfil that our aim is to provide the best in service and results.
