Appraiser
The lender's valuation, not yours. Appraisers are licensed by the same division as agents and appear in the same lookup, which is the one convenient thing about this list.
Utah license lookup — real estate and appraisal
Run by Utah Division of Real Estate. Free, no account.
Often mistaken for: The one lookup that covers everybody in a transaction. It covers two of the division's three licensing programs, and the third — mortgage — is the one most buyers want to check.
- Trainee
- State-licensed appraiser
- Certified residential appraiser
- Certified general appraiser
A number produced by a website, an agent's comparative market analysis, or the county's assessed value. Utah Code 61-2b-3 is explicit about the middle one: a licensed broker or sales agent may give an opinion of value in the ordinary course of business without an appraiser license, but that opinion may not be called an appraisal.
- Current status and certification level
- Whether the level covers the property type being appraised
- Sustained disciplinary action
- Who ordered the appraisal, or who selected the appraiser
- Whether the appraisal management company in the middle is separately registered — that is its own division registry
- Which certification level do you hold, and does it cover this property type
- Who engaged you — the lender, an appraisal management company, or me
- What is the process if I think the report has a factual error
Utah is a non-disclosure state, so sale prices are not filed in a public record. That is why appraisal and lender-side valuation carry more weight here than in states where anyone can look up what the neighbors paid.
Utah Code 61-2b-3 — a license is required to prepare an appraisal for valuable consideration. Complaints about a licensee go to the division's intake; sustained action appears in its disciplinary actions.
