About us

Sell 1st Real Estate we pride ourselves on exceeding clients expectations. Being a new agent in Port Macquarie brings a fresh novel approach. We believe honesty, trust and good ethics are front and foremost in all our dealings. Craig Alexander comes from a professional background where ‘your word is your bond’ and notwithstanding the need to have all legal documents in place, the real trust comes from treating people honestly. We are always ready to meet with you for a chat about your plans and how we can best help. "Price is what you pay, value is what you get." We strive to offer our clients an unparalleled level of customer service, quality of negotiation, honesty, and depth of market knowledge. Particularly we offer you a genuine low selling commission. We do not scale our selling commission based on the value of your property. At every level we aim to exceed your expectation. We offer a true fixed low selling commission whatever your property is worth. Our fixed selling commission is $5500 including GST ! You will hear competitors say “you get what you pay for”. If true, why don’t agents charge 6% or 10% selling commission? Selling commissions have fallen in many professions, as smart customers realised they have been paying far too much. This is an inevitable and an ongoing trend in this disruptive competitive world we live in. For too long property owners in Port and in the Hastings have paid on average 2.8% commission, which for a property selling for $550,000 is $15,400. Just to emphasise $15,400! Would you prefer roughly an extra $10,000 in your pocket to enjoy a family holiday to Europe, cruise, money towards a car or caravan, or pay to an agent? Some say an ‘expensive selling agent’ can obtain a better price and it’s worth the extra fee. Market demand is primarily buyer driven, and we know in reality, the number of buyers, financial capacity of buyers, demand, economic circumstances, and market conditions are the biggest determinate of selling price. In general if interest rates are low, credit conditions easy, employment levels high, GDP growth strong, buyers will pay more for property. Conversely if interest rates rise, unemployment rates increase, growth is negative, then buyers on average will be more constrained. Why are we mentioning this? Well, selling price is mostly about economic circumstances. Whatever an agent might say, the market is bigger than any agent’s negotiation skills. That being said, Craig Alexander, the licensee of Sell 1st Real Estate, has over 35 years experience negotiating complex deals in the financial and real estate arena. That is a lot of experience. This experience of serious negotiations for so many years has fine tuned skills which will benefit you, as your selling advocate, with the aim to achieve the highest possible selling price. The experience, passion and knowledge of Sell 1st Real Estate will give you peace of mind. Allow us to do the hard work. And yes a good negotiator can achieve a better selling price in many circumstances than someone less experienced. Being able to “read a buyer”, understand buyer capacity, understand true desire over passing interest, even motivate the buyer towards your property, are skills we believe are front and foremost for Sell 1st Real Estate, and for which you as vendor will greatly benefit. Look forward to meet you soon
