Our equipment appraisal reports are structured to the scope of your specific project. We provide independent and unbiased services with the highest level of responsiveness to your particular equipment and business asset valuation needs.

Although we work with auctioneers and equipment dealers for market research and trends, we are not an auction firm, equipment dealers or jobbers and we never take a financial interest in anything that we appraise.

Summary Appraisal Reports

Our USPAP compliant equipment appraisal reports include physical inspection of items appraised with descriptions and relevant serial numbers, pictures and individual values for the items in question. Your report will explain the context of the appraisal and will have detailed explanation of the terms used; your report will be complete unto itself and be fully applicable to its intended use and intended user(s). Your equipment appraisal report will be professionally researched using an appropriate variety of sources and techniques.

Collateral Verification and Inspection

We perform on-site collateral equipment inspections for banks, credit unions, and finance companies. We can verify collateral location, provide a condition report, serial number verifications and provide photographs of the collateral.

Expert Witness Services

As an appraiser with a CPA designation and background, Jack Young provides valuable expert witness services. We provide defendable USPAP equipment appraisals that can withstand the scrutiny of the legal system. You will want us on your legal team.

Fees & Payment

Appraisal fees are directly related to the time involved to complete the assignment. We only bill for the time expended. Before beginning the equipment appraisal process, we provide a free consultation of your equipment appraisal needs: We will discuss with you the required scope of work, carefully review your specific situation, and assess precisely which appraisal services you need. You will save money by getting the exact equipment appraisal you need.

Our agreement letter will specify a fee range based on the estimated time to complete the specified equipment appraisal task. We require a signed written agreement and a retainer of approximately half the estimated fee to begin the equipment appraisal, with balance paid upon delivery of the equipment appraisal report.
