Computer generated and non-appraiser valuations

If you're considering using one of the many "free home valuation" tools to figure out your property's value or contemplating trying an automated valuation model (AVM) instead of an appraiser to maybe save some money, you're taking a huge risk. Trombly Appraisal wants you to know why your best option with a large investment like real estate is to call an appraiser.

It takes an expert to properly value homes with unique features.
So a computer returns an estimated value of $150,000. Did it account for the new industrial area that was constructed last year? The railroad tracks nearby with trains that blow their whistles every night? The school district that recently won an award? The desirability of its tree-lined street versus the next street over?
Assessed values are often inaccurate or out of date.
Ensure comparable sales are truly like your property.
Appraisers are the first to know when values are going up or down in a market.
With an appraiser, there is no conflict of interest.
Know for sure that the house is really there!
Be assured the person determining your property's value has the right credentials, education and experience.
When you work with a licensed appraiser, you can be confident we're highly qualified, ethical and prepared to complete your assignment professionally - and with good judgment. Can the qualifications of a free online estimate really compare to an appraiser's? And if you're relying on an automated valuation, you're cheating yourself out of an appraiser's education, experience and expertise.
