Choose from an onsite or desktop appraisal to fit your budget and individual needs
Desktop Appraisal
A desktop appraisal is performed without the appraiser physically being present on the site of the assets for the appraisal. A detailed asset listing must be provided by the client or the business owner. Some types of assets lend themselves well to a desktop report, while other assets need personal inspection in order to determine an opinion of value. Your report can be delivered in less 3 days.

Onsite Appraisal
For an onsite appraisal we will send our team into the field to obtain information such as manufacturer, model, serial number, condition, photos, and other attributes that would impact value. From there we research values using the cost and market approach to ensure accuracy and will have your report delivered in 3-5 business days after the inspection. Click here to learn more

FAQs
-
Each Appraisal is individually quoted based on the amount of assets being appraised and the scope of work. We review each job, and we try to save the client money with our bid while still giving a realistic bid based on real conditions. We also like to give you an expected total cost up front – our quotes usually can get back to you within an hour. Our machinery and equipment appraisals start out at $600.
-
Again, this is specific to each company or job. On most small to medium jobs, we can usually have the report in your email within 3-5 days after we have received all the data. Larger jobs will be given an expectation up front. The longest we take is 2 weeks for mid market or larger businesses with multiple locations. Our systems and technology have allowed us to be the most efficient in the industry.

We will schedule your appraisal and work through collecting the data either by an onsite visit or through desktop collection after we receive the following from you:
1. The Client Requesting the report.
2. The Business and or locations where the equipment is located.
3. The Time Frame you need your report in.
4. What the Appraisal is for (Needs to be Specific).
5. An asset list or depreciation schedule to quote the job.
6. Contact information (Phone, Email, Titles, Etc.)
This step generally takes less than an hour.

1st - The main difference between the two is the cost of the desktop appraisal will be lower due to the fact that our equipment appraiser did not physically go onsite, saving time for the appraiser. We have a data collection Form that will help you give us all the information we need, saving YOU Time & Money.
