About a week from order to delivered report, and usually less. Apex Appraising averaged under 5 days in 2026 and held a 100% on time rate in 2025. What moves that number is the complexity of the property and how fast access to the home can be arranged. Call (801) 403-7723 for the current schedule.

The average home appraisal in Utah runs around $650. Your fee depends on the property, because a standard single family home in the Salt Lake Valley is quoted differently than a large custom home in Park City or an acreage parcel in Tooele County. Apex Appraising quotes the fee before you commit. Call (801) 403-7723 or send the property address through the form on this page.

Yes. Weston Groll is an FHA approved appraiser, which is required for any appraisal used in an FHA insured loan. An FHA appraisal checks HUD minimum property requirements in addition to the standard valuation work, so it is not the same assignment as a conventional appraisal.

A Certified Residential Appraiser holds the state license classification for appraising one to four unit residential property. In Utah the credential is issued by the Division of Real Estate, carries a CR00 license suffix, and requires qualifying education, supervised experience, and a national exam. Weston Groll holds Utah license #6088519-CR00, which anyone can verify through the state license lookup.

Apex Appraising handles FHA appraisals, purchase and refinance appraisals, estate and date of death appraisals, divorce and settlement appraisals, tax assessment appeal appraisals, PMI removal appraisals, and pre listing appraisals and consulting. Weston is experienced with all types of legal appraisals.

No. An online estimate is an algorithm that has never been inside the property, so it cannot see condition, view, finish quality, or an unpermitted basement. An appraisal is a licensed professional's inspection plus an analysis of true comparable sales, and it is the form of valuation that lenders, courts, and the IRS rely on.

UAD 3.6 is the redesigned Uniform Appraisal Dataset and appraisal report format from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. It entered broad production on January 26, 2026 and becomes mandatory for appraisals delivered to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac on November 2, 2026. Apex Appraising is UAD 3.6 ready today.

Usually yes, and it is worth the trouble. Dropping private mortgage insurance can save thousands of dollars a year, and the process is straightforward. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau explains that you can request cancellation once the loan reaches 80% of the original value, and lenders generally want a current appraisal as proof. If your home has appreciated, an appraisal may show you are already there. Apex Appraising provides the appraisal lenders ask for.

Experience and credibility. A divorce appraisal gets read by two attorneys, sometimes a mediator, and sometimes a judge, so it has to hold up to people who are looking for holes in it. What matters is a clean report, ample commentary behind every adjustment, and calculations that are justified rather than assumed. Weston Groll is known for that standard of work and has a strong reputation among Utah appraisers and the legal community.

Call or text (801) 403-7723, email westongroll@gmail.com, or send the property address through the request form on this page. Include the reason for the appraisal, such as a loan, an estate, a divorce, or pre listing pricing, along with any deadline, so the assignment can be scheduled correctly.
