Utah Valley
JupiDoor in Orem
Orem sits in the middle of Utah Valley between Provo and Lindon, with Utah Lake to the west and Mount Timpanogos to the east. First called Sharon and then Provo Bench, it grew from orchard farms spread along State Street and was incorporated in 1919, named after interurban railroad president Walter C. Orem. Much of the housing is postwar ramblers and split-levels on generous lots, many with basement apartments. Utah Valley University, University Place and Timpanogos Regional Hospital are major draws, and Provo Canyon is minutes away.
Orem sits in Utah County, where homes are listed on the UtahRealEstate MLS, one of the four Utah MLSs JupiDoor lists on. Whichever side of the deal you are on, you work with the same licensed Utah brokerage and the same flat rate.
Neighborhoods
Where people buy in Orem
Sharon and Sharon Park
These neighborhoods carry Orem's original name, Sharon, and sit in the older central part of the city near State Street. Housing is largely postwar ramblers and brick homes on large lots, many with mature trees and finished basements. Buyers include first-time owners and people looking for a home with a separate lower-level unit.
Orchard and Canyon View
In the city's District 1, the Orchard name recalls the fruit farms that once covered Provo Bench. The area sits on the higher east side toward the mountains and Provo Canyon, with established single-family homes and newer infill. Buyers often want quick access to the canyon, the Murdock Canal Trail and US-189.
Geneva Heights
Geneva Heights is on the west side of Orem, named for Geneva Road and the Geneva Steel mill that operated in nearby Vineyard from 1944 to 2001. Homes are mainly mid-century to 1990s single-family houses. Buyers here tend to look for more space for the price and easy access to I-15 and the Orem FrontRunner station.
Lakeview and Lakeridge
These west-side neighborhoods slope toward Utah Lake, with a mix of ramblers, split-levels and later two-story homes. Streets are generally quieter than the State Street corridor. Buyers include commuters using I-15 and households wanting a larger yard than newer subdivisions to the north and south offer.
University Place area
The area around University Place, the former University Mall that opened in 1973 on University Parkway, has been rebuilt as a mixed-use district with apartments and offices. Nearby single-family streets sit close to Utah Valley University. Buyers include university staff, investors, and people who want to walk to shopping and UVX stops.

Flat rate vs percentage
What a flat rate changes in Orem
A traditional listing agent is paid a percentage of whatever your home sells for, so the fee climbs with the sale price even though the work does not. JupiDoor charges one flat rate for the listing side instead. You pick the tier, the price is fixed before the sign goes in the ground, and it is paid at closing.
That is the whole of the difference. The listing, the photography, the negotiation and the paperwork are the same work a percentage-based agent does — what changes is the number on the settlement statement.
Hypothetical example
On a $500,000 sale, a 3% listing-side commission is $15,000. These are illustrative figures, not Orem market data — put your own number in and the arithmetic works the same way.
- 3% listing-side commission
- $15,000
- JupiDoor Seller-Managed
- $1,150
- JupiDoor Virtual Agent
- $3,000
- JupiDoor In-Person Agent
- $4,500
The buyer’s agent commission is separate and is yours to decide. JupiDoor’s flat rate covers the listing side only.
The process
Selling a home in Orem
The same five steps every sale runs through, whichever tier you choose.
- 1
Find your realtor
Understand the different services out there so you can decide what realtor will fit your needs best.
- 2
Find your home value
Understanding your home value will give you the foundation of your overall plan to help budget and plan for your future.
- 3
Prepping for photos
Clean and declutter your home to help advertise it to potential buyers. Buyers have said that photos are the most important thing when determining on seeing a home or not.
- 4
Showings/ accepting an offer
Be prepared to have your home shown a number of times before you find your buyer. Once you find your buyer and accept your offer, you’re on your way to the finish line.
- 5
Under contract and closing
The buyer will do some home inspections and an appraisal before closing. This part of the process takes about 30 days before you close.

FAQ
Orem questions
- Orem calls these accessory apartments: a separate unit with its own kitchen, sleeping area and bathroom inside the main house. The property owner must live in either the main home or the apartment. The city keeps a searchable list of legally approved accessory apartments by tax ID and address, and its Neighborhood Improvement team follows up on units that are not approved. Any home that is rented also needs a rental dwelling license, and the owner must keep the utility accounts in their own name rather than a tenant's.
- Orem is currently in Alpine School District. In November 2024, voters approved splitting Alpine into three districts, and Orem, along with Lindon, Pleasant Grove and Vineyard, will form the new Timpanogos School District, scheduled to begin operating in the 2027-28 school year. School boundaries within Orem may be adjusted as the new district is set up, so buyers should check the current assignment for a specific address using the city's Where I Live map or the district's boundary tools.
- Orem Central station, at 900 South 1350 West, is on the FrontRunner commuter train running north to Salt Lake City and Ogden. The same station is the northern end of the Utah Valley Express, or UVX, bus rapid transit line, which runs past Utah Valley University, University Place, BYU and downtown Provo, with buses about every 10 to 15 minutes and no Sunday service. Drivers use I-15 along the west side of the city, and US-189 heads up Provo Canyon toward Heber and Sundance.
- Orem homes are listed on the UtahRealEstate MLS. In Utah, JupiDoor lists on the UtahRealEstate MLS, Park City MLS, Iron County MLS and Washington County MLS, so your home goes on the one that covers your area, and from there to Zillow, Realtor.com and local broker websites.
- JupiDoor charges a flat rate for the listing side rather than a percentage of your sale price. There are three tiers — Seller-Managed at $1,150, Virtual Agent at $3,000, In-Person Agent at $4,500 — so the listing side costs $1,150 to $4,500 depending on how much of the work you want handled for you. It is paid at closing, with no upfront cost. A buyer's agent commission, if you choose to offer one, is separate and is yours to set.
- The service is the same: pricing, listing, marketing, negotiation and transaction support from listing through closing. What changes is the bill. A traditional listing agent is paid a percentage of the sale price, so the fee grows with the value of the home. JupiDoor is a flat rate brokerage, not a discount or MLS-only service, so you get full representation at a price fixed before your home goes on the market.
- Yes, with the same full-service representation: touring homes, writing the offer, negotiating and closing. Utah only. You get 1% of the purchase price back when the seller offers a 3% buyer-agent commission. We keep a 2% minimum, so there is no cash back when the commission we receive is 2% or less. No minimum purchase price and no maximum rebate. Paid as a closing credit, a check, or a commission adjustment.
