The best place to look for a qualified equipment appraiser is the American Society of Appraisers (ASA). ASA is a world-renowned and respected international organization devoted to the appraisal profession. ASA is the oldest and only major appraisal organization designating members in all appraisal specialties. The American Society of Appraisers is a multi-discipline, non-profit, international organization of professional appraisers representing all appraisal disciplines, including appraisal review and management, business valuation, machinery and technical specialties, and real property. Their mission is to foster the public trust of their members and the appraisal profession through compliance with the highest levels of ethical and professional standards. ASA-accredited appraisers are experts.

The meticulous accreditation process ensures that ASA-accredited appraisers are accurate, impartial and credible. They are educated and experienced in their fields and are respected members of their communities. Most importantly, they deliver independent valuations that assure property is properly appraised. Accredited Senior Appraisers must have at least five years of full-time appraisal experience, meet education requirements, pass all Principles of Valuation courses and submit an appraisal experience log and sample report just for membership consideration. For all of these reasons, it is critical to choose your equipment appraiser wisely.
