Sterling Equine
Appraisals KNOWS the horse market!
Real World Experience: "Thank you for your professionalism and quick
turn-around of the report. I will refer future clients to you for sure." ~ Sally Apter, Attorney-at-Law, Pennsylvania
The horse
industry directly produces goods & services of over $39 billion annually, and has a
total impact over $102 billion on the U.S. Gross National Product. The industry's
contribution to the U.S. Gross Domestic Product is greater than the motion picture
services, railroad transportation, furniture/fixtures, & tobacco manufacturing. Isn't
it time you consulted an expert?
Offering
over seventy years of combined experience in the horse industry with an extensive breeding
and showing background for most major horse breeds and disciplines, Sterling is
the top choice for equine appraisals.
Each appraisal is
conducted by an expert horse person who at a minimum is an earner of state and national
titles, high points, honor rolls, points and awards in several breeds and disciplines and
schooled in the hands-on appraisal process.
Every partner on our team is certified by the American Society
of Equine Appraisers. You can be confident that your
appraisal and your appraiser will hold up to the highest standards including litigation
and the IRS. |
