COMMON QUESTIONS
Common Questions
Are your machinery and equipment appraisers certified?
Yes. Our appraisers hold credentials with leading organizations such as the American Society of Appraisers (ASA), the NEBB Institute (which certifies the Certified Machinery & Equipment Appraiser, or CMEA, designation), and the Certified Appraisers Guild of America (CAGA). Every report is prepared in accordance with USPAP, the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice published by The Appraisal Foundation, so you receive a defensible, standards-compliant valuation.
How long does a machinery and equipment appraisal take?
Turnaround depends on the number and complexity of the assets involved. We build the timeline around your deadline, whether that is a loan closing, a court date, or a time-sensitive transaction, and deliver a thorough report without cutting corners. Share your date when you request a quote and we will confirm what is achievable.
What information do you need to appraise my equipment?
To prepare an accurate valuation we typically start with an equipment list showing make, model, year, and condition, along with any available maintenance records, purchase invoices, and photographs. For larger or specialized assets we may arrange an inspection. The more detail you can share up front, the faster we can scope the engagement and confirm pricing.
