R1 Appraisals is a multi-state residential appraisal firm with Utah, Arizona, and Nevada operations, owned by Ryan Aagard and led on the St. George side by Kenny Rawlings. The firm has been operating since approximately 2010 and is registered with both the Washington County Board of Realtors appraiser directory and the Utah DOPL appraiser license registry.
The multi-state footprint is the relevant operational detail. R1 handles cross-border appraisal work across the Utah–Arizona–Nevada tri-state region, which is a recurring need in Southern Utah real estate transactions involving Mesquite, Beaver Dam, the Arizona Strip, and the St. George–Las Vegas corridor. For attorneys, lenders, and estate executors handling cross-border properties, having a single firm licensed in all three states simplifies coordination meaningfully.
Web presence is reasonable: own site, board-of-realtors directory listing, and consistent address and phone. The original ownership reportedly originated in the Salt Lake Valley, which is the kind of detail to surface honestly in any "locally owned" framing.
