Built for the people who rely on the number.
Lukes & Lukes is an independent machinery and equipment appraisal firm. We build every USPAP-compliant report for the professional who puts the number to work: the lender, the attorney, the CPA, and the owner or buyer behind the deal.
Experience with the lenders and institutions that finance the deals
Ameriprise
Our principals have consulted and performed analysis for organizations across finance, healthcare and automotive. One of us came up inside the bank, so each report reads the way a lender and an examiner need it to.
