On-Site Inspection Appraisals

Venango Machinery Equipment & Appraisals (VMEA) provides thorough on-site inspection appraisals, also known as field appraisals. Our expert appraisers visit your location to assess the equipment firsthand. This process involves taking detailed photographs and gathering critical information such as the manufacturer, model, and serial number. We document the equipment’s condition, features, and specifications that affect its value. Adhering to the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), our appraisals ensure a meticulous and credible valuation. While this inspection is limited to visible aspects without specialized testing, it offers a comprehensive and precise assessment of your equipment’s worth based on a visual review.

Off-Site Desktop Appraisals

For a more economical option, VMEA offers off-site desktop appraisals. These appraisals, also known as desk or uninspected appraisals, are conducted without a physical site visit. Instead, we rely on detailed information provided by you, including equipment lists, photographs, invoices, and other documents. Using this data, our appraisers evaluate the equipment’s value from our office, maintaining compliance with USPAP standards. Even without an on-site inspection, our desktop appraisals deliver a detailed and accurate valuation, provided the supplied information is comprehensive and well-organized. This method is an efficient alternative when an on-site inspection is not feasible, ensuring you still receive a professional and precise appraisal.
