AppraiseItNow offers both remote and onsite artwork appraisal options to accommodate collectors, estates, attorneys, and institutions anywhere in Arizona. Remote appraisals allow clients to submit photographs and documentation for a fast, convenient turnaround, while onsite visits are available for large collections, complex pieces, or situations requiring direct physical inspection. Our art appraisal specialists are experienced with the full range of purposes that require a formal written opinion of value, from charitable donation deductions filed on IRS Form 8283 to estate tax reporting on Form 706. We offer Fair Market Value (FMV) and Replacement Value appraisals for various intended uses.
Our appraisers evaluate a wide spectrum of artwork found in Arizona private collections, estates, galleries, and institutions. From historic Native American works to contemporary fine art, we cover virtually every category a collector or fiduciary might encounter:
Arizona's market places particular emphasis on American Indian arts and Southwestern regional works, making specialized knowledge of these categories essential for accurate valuation. Appraisers must understand both the cultural significance and the active collector market for items like Navajo textiles, Hopi kachinas, and Pueblo pottery. Our team is equipped to handle these nuanced categories alongside traditional fine art across all media.
AppraiseItNow serves individual collectors, estate executors, attorneys, financial advisors, museums, galleries, insurance professionals, and nonprofit organizations throughout Arizona who require certified, USPAP-compliant artwork appraisals for any legal, financial, or tax-related purpose.
What clients say we are known for
Across 80+ published AppraiseItNow reviews the picture is consistent: every one is from a client who paid us for an appraisal, and the three things they raise most often are that they would hire us again, how quickly we answer, and how much research is visible in the report.
The appraisal was done very well. Since he was a local artist here in Charleston, SC, they took the time to study and review Jim Booth’s art. His work has made him extremely famous, which can make an appraisal challenging, but they did a superb job and clearly explained how they arrived at the appraisal value. I highly recommend Appraise It Now and will use them again for all my artwork.
Artwork Appraisal for Insurance Coverage
AppraiseItNow did an excellent job appraising our unique art collection. Joe was always prompt and responsive, and he and his team delivered a thorough, well-supported appraisal in just a couple of weeks, even during the holiday season. I was genuinely impressed. Thank you for the great work!
Artwork Appraisal for Insurance Coverage
AppraiseItNow was amazing! My father passed with a large volume of artwork & I had no idea what it was worth. Their team was incredibly helpful and quick to respond with text and/or email to any questions as well as a status update along the way. Highly recommend!
Artwork Appraisal for Probate
I recently requested a retroactive appraisal for fine art from AppraiseItNow. I received excellent service from intake to delivery. The appraisal was delivered on time and the content of the appraisal absolutely met my expectations!

Given the USPAP-compliant nature of AppraiseItNow’s appraisal reports, we prepare our deliverables for major legal, tax, and financial reporting purposes for individual and commercial clients.
Popular uses of our appraisal reports include:
The relevant marketplace comes first: we identify whether the work trades at auction, through dealers, or privately, then pull records from sources such as Sotheby's, Christie's, Invaluable, and MutualArt, contacting market vendors when needed. Comparables are adjusted for artist, size, medium, condition, and timing.
Explained. A credible report documents how visible condition problems, repairs, relining, overpainting, or signature issues affected the conclusion, rather than just stating a number. Weak reports skip that reasoning, which is exactly what opposing experts and reviewers attack.
As community property if acquired during the marriage. Arizona courts aim for a substantially equal division of community assets, and valuation is commonly tied to the date the petition is served or another date the court sets, so the appraisal's effective date should match the court's.
No. Insurance appraisals state retail replacement value, which typically exceeds the fair market value required for estate, gift, and donation filings. Submitting a replacement figure in a tax context overstates value and invites adjustment.
