BUSINESS PRACTICE:
I began my career as a fee appraiser in early 1979, under the tutelage of my father who had been an MAI since the 1960′s. In 1984, I was awarded the MAI membership designation in the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers and acquired my own practice. Jorgensen Appraisal is now a full service appraisal firm, with four full-time appraisers, and additional support staff. Our services are used and approved by essentially every major local bank. I am also experienced in condemnation appraisal, property tax appeal and expert witness testimony. I have completed the Appraisal Institute’s Professional Development program in litigation appraising. I have personally completed appraisals on many of Utah’s largest properties. Nevertheless, I take pride in the quality of my work on even very small assignments. Among my areas of specialization are health care, senior care, subdivisions and lodging, on which I have completed appraisals in nearly every western state.
