What Is a Machinery/Equipment Appraisal?

Murphy Valuation Services, Inc. is the largest single company source for certified machinery & equipment appraisers in the nation. Through our sister company, Murphy Business & Financial Services, we can be reached through some 150 offices throughout North America.

A machinery and/or equipment appraisal is the independent and unbiased process of determining the supportable opinion of value of tangible assets as of a specific date. Appraisals can be performed for a variety of value premises from fair market value in place and in use, to forced liquidation value. We also perform inventory valuations.

All appraisals are performed in compliance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) of the Appraisal Foundation. Compliance with industry standards ensures that proven peer-reviewed appraisal methods are used to develop defendable opinions of value. Our affiliation with the NEBB Institute, the certifying body for machinery and equipment appraisers, ensures that our appraisers are kept abreast of evolving appraisal standards.
