First National Real Estate has strengthened its Sydney footprint with the appointment of Charles Fu as Principal of First National Real Estate Co Bridge Group in Carlingford.
Charles joins the network with more than 17 years’ experience across residential, commercial and project marketing.
His track record includes ‘Top Agent’ recognition at the Be100 Group in 2008 and leading project marketing at Elders Hurstville in 2013. In 2015, he established Co Bridge Group, building a reputation for delivering tailored, high-quality outcomes for clients.
The decision to align with First National reflects a strategic focus on growth through collaboration and capability.
“I recognised that joining First National created the opportunity to take our business further within a cooperative model that prioritises shared success,” Charles said.

“The network’s strength in digital marketing, its flexible brand architecture and the support provided through leadership and communications made the decision straightforward. Just as important is the culture – members work together, not against each other.”
First National Real Estate Co Bridge Group will offer a full suite of services including residential sales, property management, auctions, commercial transactions and project marketing.
Charles said his approach centres on service discipline and long-term relationships.
“Real estate is not simply transactional. It is about helping people realise their plans, secure their future and make informed decisions with confidence. We take a bespoke approach, managing a select portfolio to ensure every client receives focused, high-touch service.”
The office will also place strong emphasis on property management standards, ensuring consistency for landlords and a positive experience for tenants.
“We aim to deliver outcomes that are both commercially sound and professionally executed. That requires attention to detail and a clear commitment to doing what we say we will do,” Charles said.
A formal opening event is planned in the coming weeks, featuring property previews and industry presentations.
First National Real Estate’s leadership welcomed the appointment, pointing to the alignment between Charles’s operating philosophy and the network’s emphasis on professionalism, service excellence and member collaboration.
