THE EXPERTISE

The validity of an appraisal is the result of the quality of research performed by the appraisal firm. Aestimo Services Ltd. appraisal reports are particularly valuable because of three things, which characterize our approach, as follows:

  1. No single equation or formula is adequate to measure the individual qualities of equipment. Each situation is approached with an appreciation for its uniqueness, to be judged on its own merits.
  2. The process of appraisal relies heavily on individual judgment; Aestimo Services Ltd. is committed to obtaining all the concrete facts available to make that judgment as precise as possible. Supporting data is gathered, details are checked and verified, and then all the facts are weighted to provide supportable appraisals.
  3. The commitment to excellence sets Aestimo Services Ltd. apart from the ordinary. The factors that make one appraisal better or more accurate than another include the research and documentation upon which the appraiser exercises his judgment, his experience in weighing the facts, and his devotion to accurate details.
