Appraisals & Valuations

Accurate valuation plays a critical role in asset-related decision-making. Whether required by statute, contract, or best practice, a professional appraisal helps establish value in a way that supports informed, defensible outcomes.

MEGA Auctions provides Appraisal & Valuation services for property owners, managers, lenders, attorneys, and businesses who need clear, well-documented assessments of asset value.

Appraisals may be used as part of a broader disposition strategy or engaged independently.

Why Appraisals Matter

In many asset and abandoned property scenarios, value determines what happens next.

A professional appraisal helps:

• Identify the correct disposition pathway
• Support good-faith decision-making
• Reduce disputes after sale or disposal
• Document rationale if decisions are later reviewed

Even when not expressly required, valuation often provides an added layer of protection.

When Appraisals Are Used

Appraisals are commonly engaged when:

• Statutory thresholds depend on value
• Assets may be sold, donated, or disposed of
• Ownership or disposition authority may later be questioned
• Assets are specialized, unique, or difficult to value

They are also frequently used in:

• Abandoned property cases
• Liquidations
• Secured transactions
• Business transitions or closures

What An Appraisal Typically Includes

A professional appraisal may involve:

• Inventory review and asset identification
• Condition assessment
• Market analysis
• Valuation methodology appropriate to the asset type
• Written documentation supporting conclusions

The scope of work is tailored to the assets and the purpose of the valuation.

Appraisals As A Stand-Alone Service

While appraisals often support abandoned property or liquidation matters, they are also engaged on a stand-alone basis.

Common stand-alone uses include:

• Internal decision-making
• Risk assessment
• Pre-sale planning
• Documentation prior to disposition

In these cases, valuation provides clarity before action is taken.
