Personal Property Appraisals: When you need to know what’s it worth!
We provide Valuation Services and USPAP-Compliant Appraisal Services for Assets
Need to know what it's worth? Whether you need a value for insurance, to settle an estate, or any other reason, we can help.
Value is always relative to other factors. The most important question that leads to value is "why do you want to know?"
The value for your insurance company to replace items might be very different than the value if you're just thinking about selling the asset. The IRS has its own requirements and definitions of value. Divorce courts have theirs too. And what about the value of something used as collateral? That will have a different value too.
All of our reports are USPAP Compliant.
Need to know what it's worth? Call us, we can help you figure it out.

Our Appraisers have completed training and earned the Graduate Personal Property Appraiser (GPPA) designation through the National Auctioneers Association (NAA). This is a hands-on course requiring our appraisers to complete a variety of asset valuations while under the supervision of master appraisers. Our Appraisers have all taken and passed a USPAP (Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practices) course and examination. To earn their designations, they had to complete a variety of appraisals and submit them for peer review.
If you want to rely on your final appraisal, and rest assured that it will stand up to scrutiny, make sure your appraiser is 100% USPAP compliant. Though not required by law, it is required by many government agencies including the IRS, insurance companies, financial institutions, and others require compliance. USPAP is the rulebook by which all appraisers should be practicing their trade.
We subscribe to the principles of the "Code of Ethics & Competency” Appraiser Awareness Program to protect the public from unsubstantiated or questionable machinery and equipment appraisals.
