Are You Sure You Don't Need A Certified Machinery & Equipment Appraisal?
(Hint...You've Probably Needed One But Didn't Know It!)

There are no less than 20 typical reasons a business owner, CPA, attorney, insurance underwriter, lenders, leasing agents, business brokers, farm credit managers and others absolutely require the professional expertise of an independent third party Certified Machinery and Equipment Appraisal prepared by only a Certified Machinery and Equipment Appraiser (CMEA).

Can you really rely on a guess, book value, the word of a non-certified person, or auctioneer who may have a "hidden agenda"?  The answer is "NO".  You cannot.  Why not?  Relying on a guess, book value, auctioneer, or the word of a non-certified person is inaccurate and will not withstand scrutiny.


However, the skilled and experienced professional at McHenry & Murphy, LLC is a Certified Machinery & Equipment Appraiser (CMEA). 
We apply the methodology of appraisal and employ the guidelines for determining values.  Therefore, you can rely with confidence on a Certified Appraisal Report prepared by the CMEA by McHenry & Murphy because it is accurate, substantiated and irrefutable.  The Appraisal will hold up to scrutiny. Will yours?
