A fast, economical valuation performed entirely from the desk. Market value is developed using verified public records, tax data, MLS history, and information provided directly by the client. Want to know how much renovations will add to the value of your home?  A desktop appraisal may be the answer.

• Best For: Current market value, preliminary decision-making, uncontested estate planning, tax appeal strategy.

• Appraisal Fee: $190 (custom quote needed for high-end, custom, or large properties)

• Appraisal Fee for Renovation Value: $220 (two value conclusions: one "as-is," one "as-if renovated")(custom quote needed for high-end, custom, or large properties)

Full Residential Appraisal (On-Site Inspection & Observation)

A comprehensive, fully defensible valuation report backed by a thorough on-site physical observation and hand-measured square footage. Because value opinions are grounded in direct observation of property condition, updates, and layout, this provides the highest level of accuracy and credibility.

Home Measurement Service (On-Site Inspection Required)

• Best For: Homeowners preparing to list, real estate agents verifying marketing square footage, or information in resolving tax assessment disputes.

• Fee: $150 (Salt Lake & Utah Counties)
