The Appraisal FoundationAuthorized by Congress as the source of appraisal standardsWe provide independent, USPAP-compliant Orderly Liquidation Value appraisals for lenders, restructuring professionals, investors, and operators who need a realistic estimate of what assets would bring in a structured, time-limited sale.
Orderly Liquidation Value reflects the expected gross proceeds from selling assets over a reasonable marketing period, assuming professional management of the sale but not a forced or immediate disposition. Many assignments can be completed efficiently using asset records, photographs, and market data, while onsite inspections are recommended for higher-risk or complex facilities.
OLV is most frequently required for machinery and equipment supporting secured lending, refinancing, workouts, and bankruptcy scenarios.
We value assets across a wide range of industries, including:
Analysis considers recovery expectations, demand within secondary markets, removal considerations, and expected marketing exposure during the orderly sale period.
We also provide OLV opinions for titled and non-titled transportation assets, often as part of broader collateral pools.
Assignments commonly include:
Values reflect likely proceeds within a managed sale environment rather than retail replacement or insurance contexts.
For operating companies, we appraise tangible collateral expected to be monetized during a wind-down or restructuring, including:
These analyses help stakeholders evaluate recovery scenarios and borrowing base considerations.
While certain portfolios can be evaluated remotely, inspections are often recommended when asset condition, installation complexity, or facility logistics materially affect recovery expectations.
If a site visit is necessary, we will advise you during scoping.
Our OLV appraisals are prepared by credentialed professionals, follow USPAP standards, and are structured for reliance by:
Reports are commonly used for underwriting, collateral monitoring, borrowing base support, and strategic planning.
We understand liquidation and restructuring scenarios often move quickly. Once basic asset information is provided, our team can rapidly confirm scope, timeline, and pricing.
If you are unsure whether Orderly Liquidation Value is the appropriate definition, we can help determine the best approach.

AppraiseItNow also serves individual consumers with projects large and small. These clients often include:
OLV is most often requested in lending and restructuring environments where stakeholders need a practical estimate of collateral recovery.
Common situations include:
OLV is most frequently applied to commercial and industrial property, including:
Fair Market Value assumes a hypothetical transaction between willing buyers and sellers without a defined sale pressure.
Orderly Liquidation Value assumes the assets must be sold, but with adequate time and professional marketing efforts to obtain reasonable proceeds.
Because of this structured sale assumption, OLV is typically lower than Fair Market Value.
Forced Liquidation Value reflects proceeds under severe time constraints, such as auctions or immediate sales.
OLV allows for longer exposure and more organized marketing, which generally results in higher recoveries than a forced sale.
Timing depends on the size and complexity of the asset pool. Once the asset information is received, we can typically deliver reports within several business days. Expedited service is often available for urgent transactions.
