AppraiseItNow serves Denver, Colorado Springs, Boulder, Fort Collins, Grand Junction, and clients statewide, online or onsite.
DEFENSIBLE, USPAP-COMPLIANT APPRAISAL REPORTS — QUALIFIED FOR THE IRS, COLORADO COURTS, LENDERS, INSURERS, AND MORE.

Every assignment is completed by our own credentialed appraisers, online from photographs and documentation you upload or onsite anywhere in the state.

AppraiseItNow appraises the campers, horse trailers, and cars that need a value before a Colorado title bond can be written, farm equipment on the Eastern Plains and Western Slope for lenders and estates, jewelry, firearms, bullion, and coins for Form 8283 donations, divorce, and probate, and business interests for buyouts and estate planning. Colorado sets a title bond at no less than twice the vehicle's reasonable value, and three of the four Colorado assignments published below are title-bond valuations. No Colorado estate tax filing is required for deaths after December 31, 2004, so a date-of-death appraisal serves the probate inventory, due within three months of the personal representative's appointment, and the federal return where one applies.
Most Colorado reports are completed online from the photographs, VINs, and receipts you upload. Onsite inspection is available statewide for a ranch equipment line near Greeley, a Cherry Creek estate, or a mountain-town collection. Fees are fixed and quoted before work begins, and if you have a declaration deadline, a probate filing, or a hearing, we confirm up front whether we can meet it. We do not appraise real estate; for a home, ranch land, or commercial building, contact a state-licensed real estate appraiser.

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.
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
My daughter had purchased a very collectible 2003 Mustang Cobra terminator just 3 months before her accident with 50,000 miles on it, for 30,000 dollars. We were experiencing some very heavy rains and she hydroplaned and smashed into a guard rail and totaled her car. The insurance company offered her $18,000, but we told them that was an insult to this car. We kept going round and round with them but they were not budging. Finally we googled an independent appraiser and found AppraiseItNow! Their appraised value was 26,462. They negotiated with the insurance for us and we ended up with 25,900. They were awesome and helped us get much closer to the appropriate value of the Cobra. Absolutely worth the price we paid. Highly recommended!
Car Appraisal for Insurance Claim
AppraiseItNow Inc. is the best company I was lucky to find by accident. I was looking for someone to appraise cabinets for a donation to charity. I asked for multiple referrals, called multiple appraisal services, etc., and no one could help me. I found AppraiseItNow and from the moment I started working with them, they were wonderful! Joe guided me on what I needed to send him, what needed to be done and stayed in touch with me the entire time. Their customer service is OUTSTANDING and a welcome surprise in today’s world where good customer service is an anomaly! They returned an appraisal in a timely manner, it was clear, concise, cost-effective and exactly what I needed. They followed up with me multiple times to ensure that I received it and everything was OK. My CPA is also thrilled to have them as an accredited appraisal service he can use for other clients. I rarely leave reviews, but I could not pass giving them 5 stars and I’d give 10 if possible! THANK YOU JOE AND ALL AT APPRAISEITNOW!!👊🏼
Personal Property Appraisal for Charitable Donation
I've dealt with several appraisers, and this was my first time using AppraiseItNow. They were by far the best. They did a great job. Their process was honest, efficient, and very detailed. Their staff was highly credentialed, and they provided IRS-compliant guidelines in their evaluation process, which was exactly what we were looking for. Their customer service also had prompt response times and was a pleasure to work with. If I need this service again, I won't go anywhere else.
Personal Property Appraisal for Charitable Donation
My wife and I purchased a property that included a double-wide mobile home, which we decided to donate to a local charitable organization that provides housing for low-income families. This type of donation required a formal appraisal to qualify for an IRS tax deduction, so we reached out to Appraise It Now. From the start, they were able to clearly answer all of our questions about both the appraisal process and the tax deduction requirements. We provided photos and additional details, and within 10 days we received a thorough, well-prepared report that included all the necessary IRS forms. I’m giving Appraise It Now a five-star review because communication was excellent throughout the entire process. Everyone I spoke with was helpful, friendly, and professional, and emails were always answered quickly. We were completely satisfied with the experience. Thank you!

The Appraisal FoundationAuthorized by Congress as the source of appraisal standardsOwners whose taxable personal property in a county exceeds the threshold exemption, which for tax year 2026 is $56,000 in total actual value under C.R.S. § 39-3-119.5. The schedule goes to the assessor of the county where the property sits on the January 1 assessment date and is due April 15, listing each asset's original installed cost and acquisition year. Owners at or below the threshold are exempt from filing.
The personal representative. Under C.R.S. § 15-12-706 the personal representative prepares an inventory within three months of appointment listing each item at its fair market value as of the date of death, with any encumbrance noted. Colorado has no probate referee; independent appraisals supply the values for vehicles, equipment, collections, and contents, and ours are built item by item for that filing.
