Education and Experience You Can Trust

With over 17 years of experience dedicated solely to tangible property asset appraisal, we’ve got the education and experience that is crucial in understanding and applying equipment and machinery appraisal methodology for properly considering machinery and equipment values.

From a single, special-purpose asset to a complex manufacturing system, our ASA-accredited senior machinery and equipment appraiser provides USPAP-compliant appraisals for nearly any industry or asset type.

Evidence for backing up our values is retained in our appraisal work files for five years and is accessible for our clients through our secure client web portal.

Equipment Inspections

Located throughout the US, the For What It’s Worth Appraisals, Inc team performs physical inspections of assets to find property identifiers, determine location, and assess physical condition.

We offer meticulous attention to detail for reconciling to asset listings, recording identification of the property, and reporting asset specifications that contribute to value.

While on site, we take photographs (with permission) to support our condition determinations. These photos also provide additional reference information for our research team to locate sales comparables.

Why have us do your asset tagging?

We can provide asset tagging services alongside our equipment inspections to save you time and money. Asset tagging enables you to have better control of your assets by tracking quantity, location, aging, and other data. Businesses usually tag assets that are mobile, insured, taxable, capitalized, commonly stolen, or are used by various departments.

Asset tagging provides quick identification to distinguish your property from an independent contractor’s tools or leased property.

Tracking assets is beneficial for reducing tangible personal property tax by accurately reporting disposals prior to the tax effective date. See our Ad Valorem Tax page for more information.

Listen To What Our Clients Are Saying About Our Machinery And Equipment Appraisals…

As the Finance lead on a $1M+ acquisition of a high tech company located in Clearwater, FL we needed an independent asset valuation of the acquisition. Based in Atlanta, I researched firms through the internet and came across Tammy with high recommendations. We contracted her to perform the work. She was on-site within days and the job was completed in less than a week. Her valuation report, along with photos and rationale, were accepted by our outside auditors (KPMG) without any questions. The auditors complimented the professionalism and completeness of the valuation report. I would contract her again when needed and highly recommend her.
