Real Estate the way it should be
Finding a real estate agent you can trust to sell your property or buy a home is a big decision. You need someone honest, experienced, market-savvy and results-driven. Someone with enough grit to get the job done who also operates with integrity while representing you.
Welcome to Coastal Abode Properties.
We’re a small but thriving real estate agency based in idyllic Pottsville. We connect buyers to premium properties in the NSW Northern Rivers and Tweed Coast regions.
Our Journey
Established in 2016 by Nicole Abbott, Coastal Abode Properties entered a new era under the ownership of Emma Madders in 2023, maintaining its commitment to offering a fresh approach to real estate in the Northern Rivers Region of NSW.
Emma’s journey with Coastal Abode Properties began in 2019 after working with various franchise agencies. After constantly being disappointed by their cookie cutter approach, she knew Coastal Abode Properties could provide a high level and tailored service for their clients.
Armed with Emma’s background in real estate, finance and interior design, coupled with a genuine enthusiasm for property styling, marketing and the stunning region, Coastal Abode Properties continues to stand out by showcasing their clients properties with a distinctive touch.
Coastal Abode Properties as a boutique real estate agency is committed to consistent communication, high-quality (yet affordable) lifestyle marketing, and achieving superior outcomes for all involved.
Style & Stage
Coastal Abode Properties is proud to be the only local real estate agent offering an in-house Style & Stage service.
Vendors get one chance at a first impression, and we’ll make it count by showcasing your property at its finest so buyers get a sense of how their life might look and feel in your home. That way, they can visualise the important stuff – like where they’ll entertain, relax, play, sleep and enjoy time with their kids.
This marketing approach is extremely effective in driving healthier sales results, like the records we’ve set in Koala Beach and Seabreeze Estate, Pottsville.
We value real talk
Honesty and open communication underpin every conversation we have with vendors, buyers and our community. For us, selling your home for a record price (or negotiating a new one for you) doesn’t feel like a fist-pumping win unless it’s done with integrity.
Planning to sell your home?
Most people sell property a handful of times in their life. Expectations, emotions and nostalgia tend to run high, whether you’re upsizing or downsizing. As a vendor, you want an agency you can rely on to provide sound advice, showcase your home in the best light and achieve a healthy sale price, with clean terms to boot. We’re that agency. Let’s start with an evidence-based property appraisal and helpful styling review.
Hoping to buy in the Northern Rivers?
As a buyer, you need an honest, empathetic and driven real estate agent, working with your desired budget, to help you find your dream property. Thankfully, you have landed in the right place. Start your journey with a call to share your story, hopes and property needs. With any luck, we’ll have something on the market that ticks your boxes. If not, we’ll reach out to our network, explore off-market opportunities and add you to our local property waiting list.
