Commercial & Industrial Appraisal Services

Motley's has produced certified appraisals and desktop valuations for clients nationwide. Our certified appraisers are trained to inspect, evaluate and produce professional appraisal documents with "Best Use", "Fair Market", "Orderly Liquidation", and "Forced Liquidation" values according to the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). We appraise and/or value individual assets or entire companies.

Motley’s commitment to continuing education enables our appraisers and asset inspectors to produce certified appraisals that withstand close analysis. Individual Graduate Personal Property Appraiser (GPPA) memberships with specialty designations ensure that our appraisal reports conform to documentation and valuation expectations.

The Industrial Division of Motley’s sells millions of dollars of used assets each year. Our remarketing experience plus our extensive research library and access to online, member-only databases enables our company to provide accurate market values that reflect up-to-the-minute purchasing trends.

Your business with Motley’s is confidential and we respect that confidence before, during and after the transaction. Onsite inspections are conducted with minimal disruption to ongoing business and our asset inspectors will only approach previously identified personnel.
