Property valuations that think like an appraiser

No. A Realsy report is a professional property evaluation, not a USPAP-compliant appraisal. It uses the same analytical techniques an appraiser would apply, including comparable selection, paired sales, regression, line-item adjustments, and value reconciliation, but it is generated by AI trained by a state certified, MAI and SRA designated appraiser. It should not be used where a certified appraisal is required by law or lender guidelines.

AMV stands for Appraiser Methodology Valuation. It is a new category of property valuation that applies the analytical methodology of certified appraisers, including comparable sales selection, paired sales analysis, line-item adjustments, and value reconciliation across three approaches.

AVMs (Automated Valuation Models) like Zillow Zestimate use statistical models trained on transaction data to predict a sale price. They are optimized for prediction accuracy on typical properties but do not show how the value was derived. AVMs cannot explain why one property is worth more than another.

Realsy uses the AMV approach. Every report shows the comparable sales selected, the adjustments made, the rates used, and the reconciliation logic. The result is a defensible market value with full methodology transparency, not a black-box estimate.

Most automated valuation models rely on algorithms that output a single number with no explanation. No comparable selection, no adjustments, no reasoning. Realsy is different. Our AI was trained by a certified appraiser to actually mimic the appraisal process by selecting specific comparable sales, explaining why each was chosen, applying individual line-item adjustments for differences in size, condition, features, and location, and writing a narrative reconciliation. You get the reasoning, not just a number.

Realsy applies appraiser methodology to produce a defensible value opinion, not a transaction price prediction. Accuracy is measured against appraiser-to-appraiser variance rather than against AVM prediction benchmarks. Properties with strong comparable sales coverage produce tighter ranges. Properties in sparse markets or with unusual characteristics produce wider ranges, and we disclose this in every report.

Every Realsy report includes a methodology disclosure section that explains the data used, the comparables selected, and the reconciliation logic. You can review how the value was derived rather than accepting a single number.

Realsy uses three valuation approaches: paired sales analysis, appraiser-derived adjustment rates, and cost extracted adjustments. When comparable sales coverage is limited (rural properties, unique homes, condos in small buildings), the methodology shifts weight toward the approaches that work best for that property. Every report discloses the coverage available and which approaches drove the final value.

If we cannot produce a defensible valuation for your property due to insufficient data, we will let you know and issue a full refund.

Yes. If Realsy cannot complete your report due to coverage gaps, technical issues, or data limitations, you will receive an automatic full refund. Refunds typically appear on your statement within 5 to 10 business days.

If you have questions about your report or believe a refund was issued in error, contact us at support@realsy.com and we will review personally.

Realsy is built and trained by a state certified residential appraiser who holds both the MAI and SRA designations from the Appraisal Institute, the highest professional credentials in real estate valuation. The AI is trained on real appraisal methodology and is continuously refined based on professional standards and market knowledge.

We pull from MLS data and public records including county assessor data, tax records, and prior sale history. This gives our AI comprehensive information about both the subject property and potential comparables in the market. Our AI model utilizes advanced photo analysis technology to evaluate subject and comparable property photos, assessing condition and quality at the component level (kitchen, bathrooms, interior, exterior) the same way an appraiser would during an inspection.

Most reports are generated within minutes of placing your order. You'll receive an email with a link to view and download your report as a PDF.

A Realsy evaluation can be useful for informational purposes in estate planning, divorce proceedings, pre-listing decisions, and investor due diligence. However, if a federally regulated lender or a court requires a certified appraisal, you will need a USPAP-compliant appraisal performed by a licensed appraiser. We're happy to help you understand which product fits your situation.
