Channel partner

Real estate broker / CP

Definition

An independent broker or brokerage firm that sources buyers for a builder's inventory in exchange for a commission.

Channel partners (often shortened to CPs) bring 40 to 70 percent of bookings in a typical Indian residential project. Commission rates range from 1 to 4 percent of the unit price, sometimes higher during launches or for unsold inventory.
