There is no doubt we are in a strongly performing real estate market, and the latest RBA rate cut appears to be spurring activity on. There are many factors which influence the value of real estate, so for buying or selling, an informed decision is important and for a relatively small cost, a formal valuation can mean thousands or tens of thousands of dollars in your favour. MVS Valuers Mid Coast have more than 45 years’ combined experience in valuation and real estate advisory. Jeff Rogers and Wayne Grant are available by calling MVS Valuers on (02) 6585 1177 or visit www.valuersportmacquarie.com.au.
