Sell your home 
with Mackenzie Smith

Accurate valuation advice

We recommend getting a property valuation and appraisal of your local property market before starting the search for your next home, this will allow you to know where you stand and make decisions on your next move.

When looking to purchase your next property, having a property sale and an arranged mortgage in hand will put you in the best position to have an offer accepted.

Only our most experienced staff are entrusted to value your property to make certain our advice is accurate. Your property valuation will be based on an in depth knowledge of the local area, analysis of the property type and condition, years of valuation experience and an understanding of local price trends and the current property market.

Correct advice in the first instance is vital as it underpins our ability to deliver the results that you are hoping to achieve.

Our advice is just that; when we value your home, we are advising you on what we believe to be the correct value, so that we can secure the best price within your desired timeframe.

Negotiation is key to putting together a successful sale.
