About a week from order to delivered report, and usually less. Weston averaged under 5 days in 2026 and was 100% on time in 2025. The property and how soon the home can be seen set the date. Call (801) 403-7723 for the current schedule.

The average home appraisal in Utah runs around $650. Your fee depends on the property: a tract home in the Salt Lake Valley is quoted differently from a custom home in Park City or acreage in Tooele County. Weston quotes the fee before you commit.

Yes. An FHA insured loan needs an FHA approved appraiser, and Weston is one. An FHA appraisal also checks HUD minimum property requirements, so it is a different assignment from a conventional appraisal.

It is Utah's license class for appraising one to four unit homes. The Division of Real Estate issues it after qualifying education, supervised experience and a national exam. Weston holds license #6088519-CR00, which anyone can check on the state license search.

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

No. An online estimate is a model that has never been inside the home, so it cannot see condition, finish or an unpermitted basement. An appraisal is an inspection plus an analysis of closed sales, and it is what lenders, courts and the IRS rely on.

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

Usually. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau says you can ask to cancel PMI once the loan reaches 80% of the original value, and lenders generally want a current appraisal as proof. Dropping PMI can save thousands of dollars a year, and if the home has gained value, an appraisal may show you are already there.

Experience and credibility. Two attorneys, sometimes a mediator and sometimes a judge will read the report looking for holes. Look for a clean report, ample commentary behind every adjustment, and calculations that are justified, not assumed. Weston Groll is known for that standard of work and has a strong reputation among Utah appraisers and the legal community.
