When an appraisal is needed, it is essential to track a wide range of variables:

  • Condition
  • Modifications
  • Options
  • Upgrades & Accessories
  • Software Requirements
  • Location & Seasonality
  • Cost & Removal
  • Marketplace Acceptance

If these factors are not considered, it can add unnecessary complexity in making informed business decisions.

Why would I need an Appraisal?
We provide our appraisal services for a multitude of clients and a variety of reasons. Whether you are acquiring insurance or have suffered a loss, getting ready for tax season, financing that new machine or making an acquisition, getting your machinery appraised can provide you a better understanding of its value and allow you to plan your next steps with confidence.

Each of our appraisers are scrutinized by their peers every 4 years to ensure they are up to date on the latest practices, market analysis and industry trends. Each appraiser has undergone extensive testing and keeps up to date by regularly attending required continuing education programs. They study under noted professional equipment specialists and financial experts not only on what values can be expected but also what to look for in terms of conditions, accessories, tooling and other value characteristics.

Along with our 20 in house asset managers, who buy and sell daily, our appraisers keep a network of specialists in every industrial environment for support in the field.
