🧰 Personal Property & Machinery Appraisals

🏠 We Value the Assets That Drive Real Worth

At JRH Appraisals, a division of Hoaglund Enterprises, Inc., we provide certified, USPAP-compliant valuations for personal property, machinery, and equipment β€” the assets that often define the true worth of homes, businesses, and estates.

Whether you’re managing a trust, dividing marital assets, preparing for an insurance claim, or supporting tax documentation, our reports deliver accurate, defensible values tailored to your purpose. We are your one-stop appraisal resource, providing both real estate and tangible asset valuations in a single, unified report β€” saving you time, cost, and coordination.

🧠 Our Process

Our process is designed for accuracy, efficiency, and clarity from start to finish. We begin with an in-depth consultation to define the scope of work, determine the asset types involved, and identify the intended use of the appraisal β€” whether for estate settlement, divorce, insurance, or business documentation. Once the scope is established, we perform a thorough inspection and inventory of each item, documenting details such as make, model, serial number, and condition, along with comprehensive photography. From there, we conduct market research using verified sources and apply the appropriate valuation approach β€” cost, market comparison, or income β€” depending on the asset type and purpose. Finally, we deliver a detailed, digital report that includes clear descriptions, photos, and well-supported value conclusions, formatted specifically for your intended use.
