Computerized home valuations offered free on the Internet are not real appraisals.  These are essentially computerized estimates that DO NOT take into account your property's current condition, additions and improvements.   Appraisers are licensed and educated, and have extensive experience in analyzing data and local markets.  As good as computers are, no computer can replace the experience of a real human Licensed Appraiser.
