How We Work

Delivery Methods

On-Site Inspection

A certified appraiser physically inspects the equipment at your location. Ideal for high-value assets, complex machinery, or when condition is a critical factor.

Desktop Appraisal

A thorough valuation completed using provided documentation, photos, and market data — without a site visit. Faster turnaround and lower cost for straightforward assets.
