Philip Talbot delivers a unique level of service to the Coffs Harbour area, his approach sets him apart and he joins The Agency with an impressive nine listings, and a significant pipeline over the coming weeks. In the last two years, Philip Talbot has sold more $1 million plus properties than any other agent in the area, holds the record for the highest off-market sale at $1.8 million and also holds the sales record at $2 million for the Northern Beaches.
“The culture in most real estate offices on the Coffs Coast is to be number one and in some cases at any cost, whereas with The Agency we can utilise their unmatched resources to facilitate great outcomes for both vendors and purchasers without compromising our values,” Philip Talbot explains.
“My approach to property is different to most other agents on the Coffs Coast, my background in development enables me to work from the customers’ perspective back to the vendors perspective, which helps when setting price guides and negotiating.”
Given Sydney’s property price super cycle from 2012 to 2017, the migration to regional areas has significantly increased with people attracted to the affordability and lifestyle offered by areas like the Hunter Valley, Southern Highlands, Wollongong and Coffs Harbour. For this reason, The Agency has focused on attracting the top talent in these areas.
“These regional areas offer exceptional value and we are honoured to attract the top agents locally. Philip Talbot is case in point, his wide array of experience and exceptional energy continue to deliver a standout level of service to the Coffs Coast market,” Thomas McGlynn, National Director of Sales, says. “Philip holds a very strong reputation in the community for his honesty, integrity and results.”
Philip Talbot and his property partner Alexis Warncken, embrace a unique approach in the Coffs Coast market. These strategies include actively using off-market campaigns; verifying every interested buyer and providing vendors with detailed OFI reports; thorough market and competitive analysis provided to vendors; and the provision of informed style and renovation advice when required.
Philip Talbot required a brand approach that would complement these strategies and facilitate his highly adaptable and responsive style of customer service.
“The Agency provides a ‘yes’ or ‘yes’ approach to business, which gives us true flexibility to be different. Plus the founders are legends of the real estate industry who have taken decades of experience to formulate a business model that enables agents to focus on their clients and do what they do best: List – Negotiate – Sell,” Philip Talbot says.
