Machinery Scope will offer two types of appraisals:

DESKTOP APPRAISALS

By providing information on the equipment, Machinery Scope can do an appraisal based off industry standards and trends in the equipment marketplace without ever being onsite with the equipment.  Desktop appraisals are a quick and easy way to get a value put on your equipment.

ONSITE APPRAISALS

The appraiser will travel to the site of the equipment to perform an assessment for 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. We want to be of service to you. We are confident we will provide a high quality, accurate appraisal service to meet yours and your customers’ needs.
