Fit at a glance
Start with the facts FAIR can show.
This profile is useful as a registry lead, but the buyer should confirm scope, fees, and report requirements before outreach.
Before you contact
- Confirm specialty fit for the object category.
- Confirm the report purpose before comparing fees.
- Confirm the fee model is not tied to value or outcome.
- Confirm current availability, inspection method, and source details.
FAIR surfaces registry profile signals. It does not license appraisers, certify competence, certify reports, or guarantee outcomes.
- You need an appraiser who can serve Houston, TX or explain remote versus in-person inspection options.
- The registry specialty label says: Machinery & Technical Specialties, Machinery and Equipment, MTS - Machinery and Equipment. Treat it as a routing signal and confirm exact object fit before outreach.
- You can ask for non-contingent fee terms before sharing sensitive documents.
- Your report purpose can be stated up front: insurance, estate, donation, tax, litigation, lending, resale, or personal planning.

Individually reviewed note
Local read
Andrew Blahut, ASA is an unclaimed FAIR profile listed in Houston with Ernst & Young LLP and machinery-and-equipment specialty language. The official ASA member-details page identifies him as a manager in EY's Transaction Advisory Services practice, Valuation, Modeling and Economics, focused on valuation of capital equipment assets. The ASA bio says he has more than eight years of experience performing machinery and equipment valuations and other business and industry analyses, with work across energy, chemicals, mining, infrastructure, heavy industrial, consumer products manufacturing, and hospitality. Treat this as a Houston machinery, equipment, and capital-asset appraisal lead, not as an antiques, fine-art, jewelry, or household-contents lead despite the audit cluster.
ASA lists MTS - Machinery and Equipment under Machinery & Technical Specialties, and the bio references fair market value, fair value, investment value, insurable replacement cost, liquidation value, forced liquidation value, financial and tax allocations, asset-based financing, bankruptcy, interest apportionment, ad valorem tax, litigation support, appraisals over internet, and IRS appraisal experience.
Before outreach, confirm whether the assignment involves machinery, equipment, capital assets, or another technical asset; the industry context; the value premise; the report purpose; whether review can be remote or needs inspection; and how engagement terms, independence, and fees are handled.
Written from registry data and this appraiser's public materials. Descriptive only — not a certification, ranking, or endorsement.
