How we estimate rent for your Utah property
Comparable selection, condition, timing, and why we give you a range rather than a single number.

A range, with reasons
A rent estimate is a judgment, not a formula. We give you a range, the comparable leases behind it, and the two or three things about your property that would move you toward the top or the bottom of that range.
Where the comparables come from
We start with homes that actually leased in the last 90 days within a mile, of a similar size, age and bedroom count, then adjust for what the listings cannot show: finish, light, parking, storage, laundry and outdoor space. Asking rents on active listings are a weaker signal; a home that has been listed for 60 days tells you what the market will not pay.
Condition and timing
Paint, flooring and a clean kitchen are the three items that pay for themselves at turnover. Timing matters as much: along the Wasatch Front, demand is strongest from April through August and before the ski season on the east bench. A home that is ready in March leases faster and for more than the same home in November.
What you receive
A written analysis with the range, the comparables, our confidence in it, the seasonal picture, and a short list of preparation items, prepared by a member of our team and delivered within two business days.
