Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Ian Mckenzie will ensure you get it right.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to get a handle on real estate market forces.

This isn't a discussion of the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market.
