Types of Appraisal Solutions
Desktop Equipment Appraisals
Machinery Scope can do an appraisal based on industry standards and trends in the equipment marketplace without ever being onsite with the equipment. Desktop equipment appraisals are a quick, easy, and cost-effective way to get a value on your equipment. Use these values for decision-making throughout the year or as an assessment tool of the net worth of your operation from year to year. We suggest an appraisal of your core equipment on an annual basis. Desktop appraisals are only:- $40 per unit
- $30 per unit for 10+ units
- $25 per unit on 25+ units
On-Site Equipment Appraisals
Our appraiser will travel to the equipment site to perform an assessment for an accurate determination of equipment value. Since no two pieces of used equipment are exactly the same, the onsite appraisal is a more detailed and accurate way to determine equipment values! We provide a professionally prepared and bound report that includes an explanation of the type of valuation approach utilized, the intended use of the appraisal, equipment descriptions, appraised value of each piece of equipment, comparable farm equipment used for valuation, and colored photos of the equipment.
