AVM Optimizer was developed by Steve Wiese, a seasoned real estate appraiser with over 35 years of industry experience. Steve is a recognized expert in the field, holding several patents that have laid the foundation for many of today’s online real estate platforms. He also holds a master’s degree in Economics and Technology, which further supports his innovative approach to property valuation.

The AVM Optimizer was designed to address the limitations of traditional Automated Valuation Models (AVMs), which often undervalue homes by failing to consider specific property improvements or unique features. By using the AVM Optimizer, users can enhance the accuracy of their home value estimates. Through a quick and straightforward six-question process, the tool allows users to adjust and refine their property’s valuation, often resulting in a more realistic and higher market value. This innovative approach bridges the gap between automated estimates and true property worth, empowering homeowners with a more precise understanding of their home’s value.

Disclaimer: The improved home value estimate provided through this process is intended for informational purposes only. It should not be considered a formal appraisal or a guaranteed market value. Estimates derived from Automated Valuation Models (AVMs) like Zillow or Realtor.com are subject to fluctuations based on market conditions and other factors. Any adjustments made to these estimates are based on additional information provided and should be used as a general guide rather than a definitive valuation. We recommend consulting with a licensed real estate professional or appraiser for an accurate and official property valuation.
