3. The Time Frame you need your report in.

1st - The main difference between the two is the cost of the desktop appraisal will be lower due to the fact that our equipment appraiser did not physically go onsite, saving time for the appraiser. We have a data collection Form that will help you give us all the information we need, saving YOU Time & Money.
Our mission is to provide accurate and reliable machinery and equipment appraisals through expert analysis and industry knowledge, while maintaining the highest level of integrity and customer service.
