Tangible asset valuations of real and personal property can help minimize taxes while maximizing valuation. VRC can help with a range of tangible asset valuation in both real property (land, building, leases) and personal property (machinery, equipment, computers, furniture and fixtures, leasehold improvements, etc.). The valuation of real and personal property is important in many business situations, including:

When a company wishes to use fixed assets as collateral, VRC can supply valuations of real estate and machinery and equipment, either for the would-be borrower or for a prospective lender. We generate authoritative estimates of the price property might bring if liquidated, under any various hypotheses, or of the amount that might be realized after full market exposure.

For companies involved in leasing transactions and sale-leasebacks, we conduct equipment valuations, real estate valuations and lifing studies.
