Media Release – 1 October 2011
First National Real Estate has launched a competition throughout Australia where homeowners or home hunters have five chances to win $5,000 in hardware gift vouchers.
‘Australians love do it yourself projects so there’s always huge interest in our competitions where the prize helps get another home improvement finished’ said Stewart Bunn, First National’s communications manager.
‘Whether you own your own home or rent, there’s a lot of useful equipment or even home furnishings that you can buy with $5,000 worth of hardware gift vouchers’.
During the competition, First National Real Estate will also be offering a free iPhone App called Real Estate Rumble’ said Mr Bunn.
‘Real Estate Rumble is just for fun. You don’t have to play the game for a chance to win one of the five competition prizes but, like building up a real estate portfolio, the game is addictive’.
Customers can download their free game from Apple’s iTunes Store or the App Store; just search ‘Real Estate Rumble’.
To enter the competition, participants should visit www.firstnational.com.au or the website of their nearest First National office and follow the prompts to register.
‘Get the job done’ runs between 1 October 2011 and 11.59 pm AEDST on 31 October 2011.

Media Release – 1 July 2011
First National Real Estate has launched a competition throughout Victoria where homeowners can win a re-paint of their house worth up to $10,000.
‘Australians just love home ownership and there’s a huge amount of interest in making improvements in order to maximise capital growth. But the last thing people want to do in their spare time is paint their house’ the network’s National Communications Manager, Stewart Bunn said.
One of the most important things you can do to preserve or improve the presentation of your property is keep it freshly painted. The winner of the ‘Pimp Your Property – $10,000 Home Painting Giveaway’ will have their home re-painted to the value of $10,000 – enough to complete an average sized Australian house.
‘In a sense, we all prosper by riding on the back of our property renovations so we took a tongue in cheek view in the naming of this competition’ said Mr Bunn.
‘Australia once rode on the sheep’s back but these days, for most Australians, we build wealth and improve our lifestyles by renovating our properties.
‘I’m sure that whoever wins this competition will improve the value of their home by more than the $10,000 investment First National will be making on their behalf’.
To enter the competition, participants need to visit www.pimpyourproperty.com.au and follow the prompts.
The ‘Pimp Your Property – $10,000 Home Painting Giveaway’ competition is simple to enter and runs between 1 July and 15 September 2011.

First National Real Estate has launched a competition throughout New South Wales where homeowners can win a free year’s supply of fuel from Caltex.
‘Can anyone explain why the cost of fuel has gone through the roof yet the Australian dollar has never been stronger’ the network’s National Communications Manager, Stewart Bunn asked.
With interest rates expected to gradually rise, the cost of home ownership will increase. However, the winner of First National’s competition will certainly enjoy a considerable weight being lifted from their budget by not having to pay for fuel for a year.
‘We’re certain this will be a great boost to some lucky family’s or an individual’s budget this year’ said Mr Bunn.
To enter the competition, participants need to visit www.freefuelforayear.com.au and follow the prompts.
The ‘Free Fuel For A Year’ competition is simple to enter and runs between 1 July and 15 September 2011.

First National’s determined to show how hard we work to exceed your expectations.
In recent years, we’ve given the industry a poke in the eye, mocking the types of agents who give our industry a bad name via a series of adverts nominated for Cannes Television Advertising Awards.
Having re-built ourselves and launched our new brand, this new TV advert allows our own agents to step before the camera, revealing a little of the enthusiasm, drive, community spirit and wacky sense of humour that drives our organisation to be the best it can be.
