"Every report I sign goes out as if it'll be reviewed by the toughest underwriter, attorney, or judge — because some of them will be."

Miner Appraisals has been valuing Utah homes since 2017. Independent, owner‑operated, and locally focused — which means the appraiser you talk to on the phone is the same one inspecting your property and signing the report.

No outsourced fieldwork. No volume‑driven shortcuts. Just careful, narrative valuation work that reads cleanly, defends easily, and gives you something to actually use.

Frequently asked

Questions we hear often.

Pricing depends on property type, complexity, and turnaround. Standard SFR appraisals start in the typical Utah market range; complex estate, litigation, or rural assignments are quoted individually. Submit a quote request for a firm number within one business day.
Most reports are delivered 5–7 business days from inspection. Rush turnaround (2–3 days) is available for an additional fee, subject to scheduling.
Yes — retrospective valuations are a core part of our practice. We provide narrative reports suitable for IRS Form 706, probate court, and estate settlement, with full documentation of historical comparables.
Yes. Most appraisals never require testimony, but when they do we're prepared. We've been deposed and have testified in Utah district court for divorce, estate, and bankruptcy matters.
A real‑estate agent's CMA is a marketing opinion. An appraisal is a USPAP‑compliant valuation produced by a state‑certified appraiser, with documented methodology, photographs, and signed certification — admissible in court and accepted by the IRS, lenders, and tax authorities.
Yes — we work with credit unions, community banks, and select AMCs. If your lender doesn't have us paneled, we can usually onboard within a few days.
