Answer:<\/strong> Yes! It is very important that the appraiser you choose has a professional designation to value your equipment. You can rely with confidence on a trained professional who is experienced in the ethics and reporting quidelines of USPAP<\/a>. Gone are the days when a non-certified equipment appraisal will be accepted by governing authorities or withstand scrutiny.<\/p>\n A Certified Machinery and Equipment Appraiser (CMEA) is a professional who has the training, knowledge, experience, and background to render a Certified Machinery and Equipment Appraisal Report<\/a>. All CMEA professionals receive extensive continuous training on a monthly basis and are subject to peer review on a regular basis. Only after a professional passes a comprehensive written examination and submits an appraisal that has passed peer review is he\/she awarded the prestigious professional designation of CMEA by the National Equipment & Machinery Brokers Institute. In addition, the professional is required to re-certify every five years.<\/p>\n More importantly, a CMEA is required to observe the highest standards of professional ethics<\/a> and comply with regulations mandated by the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). Only the skills of a CMEA professional make sound financial business sense to determine an accurate value.<\/p>\n
