Why CPC

Here at CPC Property Sales we believe that when you sell your Property, you should not be required to pay the earth for what is a simple task if performed by a professional agent. On the mid North Coast owners are asked to pay some of the most expensive agent commissions in the country. For example, in Sydney currently agent commissions average between 1 and 2 percent, whilst Coffs agents are asking 3 to 4 percent.

Home Value Commission

Sydney $500,000 $5,000 to $10,000

Mid North Coast $500,000 $15,000 to $19,000

Prior to the market boom, average home prices were low and it was not hard to find a four bedroom home for $150,000 - $200,000. After the boom, in ‘today’s market place’ the average 4 bedroom home price is between $320,000 and $450,000. So whilst agent commissions of 3 - 4% were justifiable pre-boom ($200,000 @ 3.5% = $7000), in today’s marketplace the average agent’s commission has increased from the 2002 figure of $7000 to $15750 ($450,000 @ 3.5%).

We also must take into account the two main cost reductions (digital photography and internet advertising), that have benefited the real estate industry during this same period. The overall average increase in agent’s commissions has been in excess of 125% over a 3 year period, whilst marketing costs have reduced significantly.
CPC was opened to give the astute seller an opportunity to save money whilst still receiving the professional service they deserve. The most prominent difference between CPC and other agents you will meet is we have chosen not to increase our profit margins as a result of the property market boom.
We also believe that our level of service is unmatched in the local market or local industry. This service includes:

  • Free market appraisals
  • Fortnightly written correspondence during sales campaign
  • Phone call progress update after each open house
  • Phone call after each inspection
