Granite or quartz countertops ?

[Simon Obas]

An agent told me “No difference quartz vs granite on appraisal” is this true? I assume granite was top of the line and had a higher return on investment. I’m in the process of flipping my first home and I’m trying to choose the right countertop.

Agent also said, “Granite used to be the go to maybe 5 years ago. Quartz is actually higher priced. You’re probably seeing that. BUT for appraisal purposes they’re just looking at stone countertops whether it’s soapstone. Quartz, granite, and some high end butcher block. The most important thing is “updated”

What are your thoughts?
