• Estate and tax reporting - Fair market valuations for estate settlement, succession planning, and tax filings.
• Sale and purchase - Independent valuations that support fair pricing on equipment transactions.
• Charitable donations - Appraisals prepared to meet IRS requirements for equipment donated to qualifying organizations.

A desktop appraisal for farm equipment relies on digital documentation, photographs, and market data rather than a physical site visit, while holding to the same valuation standards as a traditional appraisal.

Accuracy and market data Our online process analyzes the same evidence a traditional appraisal would, including recent auction results, dealer listings, and equipment condition documented through photos and specifications.

Turnaround time Smaller, single-asset appraisals are often completed within a week; larger projects typically take two to three weeks. Because there is no travel or on-site scheduling, online appraisals usually turn around faster than a traditional on-site appraisal, and the report is delivered digitally with no shipping delay.

Cost efficiency Eliminating travel and on-site inspection means a desktop appraisal generally costs less than a comparable on-site valuation, while still being prepared in accordance with USPAP.

Lender readiness Our USPAP-compliant online reports give agricultural lenders, banks, and financial institutions a defensible, standards-compliant valuation for underwriting and loan files.
