What California clients say we are known for
Across 17 published California appraisal reviews, every one from a client who paid AppraiseItNow for an appraisal, 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.
We were very satisfied with the results - fast and efficient communication, understanding our company's needs, on-time delivery of the report, as well as reasonable price point. Highly recommend.
Machinery & Equipment Appraisal for Charitable Donation
I highly recommend the AppraiseItNow team. They were responsive and timely from start to finish, and the whole process was seamless. The final report was super detailed and gave me all the information I needed. I am so glad I hired them and would recommend them to anyone needing an appraisal!
Technology Equipment Appraisal for Divorce
After researching several companies, I contacted AppraiseItNow for a personal medical equipment appraisal - they responded to me within a day and were both professional and patient throughout the process!
Medical Equipment Appraisal for Charitable Donation
I recommend AppraiseItNow Inc. highly. I needed an appraisal of fair market value for geologic laboratory equipment for charitable donations to three universities. The unique items and limited secondary market complicated the valuation. They provided a sound, verifiable estimate and the 8283 forms that I was able to use in my tax filings. I would use them again.
Lab Equipment Appraisal for Charitable Donation
AppraiseItNow did an outstanding job appraising my 1998 Bobcat Skid Steer and circa 2010 Yuchai Crawler Dozer. We could not locate a serial number on the dozer, and there were no online sales available, but they were still able to develop an accurate appraisal using known specifications for my dozer compared to other comparable make and model dozers. They diligently researched both equipment items and provided well-documented reports.
Machinery & Equipment Appraisal
I needed an IRS-qualified appraisal for an unusual and costly piece of medical equipment. AppraiseItNow was able to provide me exactly what I needed on a timely basis. The personnel at the company are very friendly and helpful. I would definitely use them again.
Medical Equipment Appraisal for Charitable Donation
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:
No single accepted guide exists for fitness equipment, unlike vehicles. Appraisers build value from commercial dealer used inventory, wholesale auction results, and secondary market sales, adjusted for age, condition, and remaining life. Relying on generic retail asking prices without adjustment is considered weak support, which is why our California gym appraisals cite actual market comparables.
Heavy commercial use and technology turnover. Hard-used cardio units often lose 60 to 80 percent of value within 5 to 7 years, and functional obsolescence compounds it: treadmills and bikes lacking current consoles, connectivity, or supported software trade at steep discounts even in good physical condition. An appraisal that ignores technological obsolescence overstates value.
Yes. Business personal property in California is reappraised at market value every year, and owners with taxable personal property costing $100,000 or more in aggregate must file a Business Property Statement (Form BOE-571-L) by April 1, with a 10 percent penalty for statements received after May 7. Our equipment appraisals can support disputes over assessed values.
A qualified appraisal and IRS Form 8283 signed by the appraiser and the donee, whenever the claimed deduction for donated machinery exceeds $5,000. The same qualified-appraisal expectation applies to estate and gift filings on Forms 706 and 709 when equipment values materially affect the return.
