Desktop Appraisals are very common and will generally provide you with the same equipment values as you would have received with an onsite appraiser.  The primary difference between an onsite appraisal and a desktop version is in the wording of our report.  A Desktop Appraisal Report will state that ‘the data was collected by your representative and we have not physically seen the equipment’. Our Desktop Equipment Appraisals are defensible, substantiated and have been court-tested.  They are used by banking and lending institutions, the Internal Revenue Service, and the Small Business Administration many, many times.

Key Benefits:

• Much Lower Cost / (No Appraiser Travel Costs or Onsite Inspection Costs.)

• You Collect the Data / (Who knows your Equipment better than You?)

• Faster Turnaround / (You won’t have to sync-up schedules with an Appraiser.)

• Same Certification / (The exact same Certified Appraiser can do your report.)
