Charles David Casson (CDC) is an independent estate and lettings agency in Chelmsford with a national franchise offering.
Our story
Since 2011, brothers Matt and Neil Baldock have developed Charles David Casson (CDC) to be a market leading sales and lettings agent in Chelmsford and have expanded to cover the whole of Essex with additional services in the commercial, auction, land & new homes as well as financial services and conveyancing.
We’ve also developed a specialism in letting and managing HMOs – houses of multiple occupancy and have built a reputation for passion and excellence in the property industry.
At CDC, we are 100% focused on the human side of estate agency. With a goal to make moving as stress free as possible, we have stripped the practice of estate agency back to basics, where people – as well as property – matter.
Our successful residential sales and lettings business was soon established as a blueprint formula and is today offered as a CDC Franchise and CDC Self Employed Property Partner opportunity.
Our values
We make our clients our number one priority and aim to provide exceptional customer service, every time. Using our team’s vast knowledge, experience and specialism, we help partners and customers reach their goals and achieve success. We are also continually learning, developing and improving, seeking opportunities and never standing still.
Our values are to care, to consult, to learn, to grow and to inspire. We’re ready to work with you to help you reach your goals.
Franchise or become a property partner
Are you looking to own your own property business, take control of your future and build a business that works alongside your personal life?
Our fully supported CDC Franchise or CDC Self Employed Property Partner opportunities can make this possible. Build your own business with the support of an established, professional brand. It’s a win-win.
