ABOUT ATEC

ATEC is a diversified firm engaged in serving financial institutions, attorneys, accountants, bankruptcy trustees and others in the appraisal, evaluation and liquidation of assets. Formed in 1977, ATEC has built longstanding relationships with clients throughout the United States and Canada, and has undertaken appraisal, evaluation, and liquidation projects throughout North America. With nearly five decades of experience, ATEC conducts extensive appraisal and auction work annually, adapting our services to meet each client's unique needs.

What sets ATEC apart is the integration of our appraisal and sales operations. Our appraisers don't work in the theoretical—they actively participate in the marketplace, bringing real-world transaction data and market intelligence to every valuation. Conversely, our sales team leverages continuous market research and an extensive dealer network cultivated through ongoing appraisal work. This dual perspective ensures our appraisals reflect actual market conditions and our sales strategies are informed by comprehensive asset knowledge and buyer networks.

ATEC's appraisal services provide clients with accurate, defensible valuations grounded in current market data. Our appraisers maintain active engagement with buyers, sellers, and dealers across multiple industries, ensuring valuations reflect real-world transaction activity rather than outdated assumptions. Whether for lending purposes, litigation support, insurance claims, or strategic planning, ATEC delivers appraisals that stand up to scrutiny because they're backed by actual marketplace participation.

ATEC's sales services deliver maximum value through strategic marketing, extensive buyer networks, and decades of marketplace expertise. Whether selling a single piece of equipment or facilitating a complete facility disposition, we connect sellers with qualified buyers across multiple channels. Our clients range from operating businesses looking to monetize surplus assets to institutions managing complete inventory sales. We approach every sale—regardless of circumstance—with the same commitment to achieving competitive market pricing through proper positioning, targeted outreach, and professional execution.

ATEC operates exclusively on a commission or flat-fee basis—we do not purchase assets from clients or guarantee minimum sale amounts in exchange for higher commissions on overages. This deliberate business model preserves our complete impartiality and ensures our interests remain fully aligned with yours. We have no competing interest in your sale; our sole focus is achieving the highest possible recovery on your behalf.

ATEC's auction professionals produce live, online, and “hybrid” webcast auctions, staying ahead of market trends to ensure optimal reach and results. We handle all aspects of the auction process—from strategic marketing and site preparation to asset organization and lot structuring—adapting our approach to current market conditions and buyer preferences.

Our extensive experience enables us to evaluate all available disposition options, from litigation and private sales to advertised foreclosure sales and public auctions. ATEC's comprehensive approach also includes direct asset marketing through our online platform, enabling us to reach qualified buyers for machinery and equipment across diverse industries.

Whether you need a comprehensive valuation, strategic disposition advice, or full-service asset sales execution, ATEC brings integrated expertise to every engagement. Our services work independently or in combination, tailored to your specific situation and goals.

From loan document review and collateral analysis to complete liquidation management, ATEC's approach is built on market intelligence, impartial advice, and a singular focus on maximizing your recovery. We handle everything—negotiations, documentation, marketing, and execution—or provide targeted support where you need it most.

Regardless of asset type, project size, or location, ATEC delivers the practical expertise that comes from nearly five decades of continuous market participation. We invite you to experience the ATEC difference: appraisals grounded in real transactions, sales backed by comprehensive market knowledge, and service driven entirely by your success.
