Following its acquisition of Rouse Services last year, Ritchie Bros. combined Rouse with its own appraisal business to form a single entity: Rouse Appraisal Services.

“Our appraisers are armed with the richest data set anywhere in the industry,” Raffi Aharonian, managing director of Rouse Appraisal Services, said. “We can also directly connect customers to Ritchie Bros.’ disposition solutions should they choose to go that route post appraisal.”

Rouse Appraisal Services will offer appraisals and inspections for a variety of use cases, including asset-based lending, company and contractor driven needs, M&A support, and residual values for leasing institutions.

“Our goal is to help customers through all stages of an asset’s life cycle, whether that be purchase, inspection, appraisal or sale,” Aharonian said. “All these services are available through Ritchie Bros.’ end-to-end asset management and disposition system: RB Asset Solutions.”
