Use this registry profile to compare public facts before outreach.
This profile is useful as a registry lead, but the buyer should confirm scope, fees, and report requirements before outreach.
FAIR surfaces registry profile signals. It does not license appraisers, certify competence, certify reports, or guarantee outcomes.
Still missing or confirm directly: public website/contact evidence, public fee statement, public USPAP education detail, public claim/authorized-control status
Correction/removal: request a profile correction or removal. Policy: complaints and corrections.
William E. Banfield, ASA is an unclaimed FAIR profile listed in Houston with Asset Management International, Inc. and Machinery & Technical Specialties / Machinery and Equipment specialty language. The ASA member-details page confirms MTS - Machinery and Equipment as the specialty, but its directory service indicators are hidden rather than visible. The Houston ASA chapter lists Banfield among local Machinery & Technical Specialties appraisers at Asset Management International. A 2021 Houston chapter member spotlight says he has integrated mechanical and engineering background with finance and litigation support for banks, equipment leasing entities, end users, and legal clients. Treat this as a machinery-and-equipment / physical-asset / finance-and-litigation-support profile, not as an antiques, fine-art, jewelry, or household-contents lead despite the audit cluster.
The Houston chapter spotlight points to assignments involving mergers and acquisitions, ad valorem tax disputes, fairness opinions, reorganizations, during-term portfolio assessment, residual-value analysis, loan-to-value justification, physical asset management, accident reconstruction, mechanical failure analysis, asset condition reporting, and valuation of individual assets or complete portfolios. LinkedIn separately identifies Banfield with CLFP, ASA-MTS, CAFM, and Asset Management International.
Before outreach, confirm whether the matter involves machinery, equipment, physical assets, a portfolio, leasing or finance, ad valorem tax, litigation support, residual value, loan-to-value, M&A, reorganization, mechanical failure, or accident reconstruction; ask what records, inspections, photos, value premise, report use, independence terms, fees, and deadlines apply.
Written from registry data and this appraiser's public materials. Descriptive only — not a certification, ranking, or endorsement.
