Maynards Director of Valuations for US Operations

Certified equipment appraiser with more than 28 years of experience.

Al Loewenstein, Director of Valuations for US Operations at Maynards, began taking an interest in auctions and appraisals while he was still attending Western Michigan University. As a summer intern for Norman Levy Associates (NLA) Al's first experience learning about auctions was by getting them ready for sale.

After he had earned his degree in management and his double minor in data processing and general business, Al queried NLA for a position in the company and was rewarded with a career as an appraiser.

Al states, "I attended auctions and they really peaked my interest watching people bid on assets. It was so intriguing knowing the amount of money that was trading hands and watching the competitive interaction between auction participants. From then on, I was hooked."

When Norman Levy was sold to DoveBid, Al stayed and helped with the transition and changes being implemented by the new company. He remained with DoveBid for four years reaching the position of managing director of the valuation services division, but DoveBid made personnel cuts and Al's job was sacrificed. He was hired by Maynards and has become their Director of Valuation Services.

Al has worked on all aspects of an auctions and appraisals. He's done auction set up, worked on the auction bookkeeping, collected deposits, auctioned, overseen delivery and distribution of the sold industrial equipment. Al has also covered all aspects of appraisal practices. Al is certified with his ASA and AMEA designations and in the 28 years he has been an appraiser, there are few industries he has not been involved in appraising. Some of those industries Al has appraisal experience include:

Al is a certified equipment appraiser, he has earned his CA (Certified Appraiser) designation through the Association of Society of Appraisers (AMEA) and he is an accredited senior appraiser through the American Society of Appraisers (ASA). He is also a member of the Machinery Dealers National Association (MDNA).
