First National Real Estate opened in early 2005 as the first Australasian
networked real estate office.
The office is 100% owned and operated by local residents Mark Saville and Glen Craig and proudly part of the First National network with offices across Australia and New Zealand.
In this short time we are proud of the reputation for professionalism and consistently high service that we have created.
We have an expereinced sales team that each specialise in different types and areas of real estate in Vanuatu.
Of course being successful in real estate comes back to results and ours have being exceptional. We are constantly one of the top two property firms in numbers of sales and more often than not, number one in terms of dollar volume.
Our resort sales team has successfully marketed and sold in recent times;
* Chantillys Hotel
* Mangoes Resort
* Sunset Bungalows
* Oyster Island Resort
* The Grand Hotel (Now The Sebel)
* TL Apartments (Now Lagoon Beach Resort)
Our Santo office is the largest in Luganville and responsible for the successful exclusive marketing of many estates including the now sold out Aore Point and Palms Estate.
First National Real Estate Vanuatu has access to extensive knowledge of tax free Vanuatu's legal and regulatory systems, and is also ideally placed to work with Australian and New Zealand developers who may wish to invest in Vanuatu often referred to as the South Pacific¹s Premiere Financial Centre.
