What Delaware clients say we are known for
Across 16 published Delaware 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.
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 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
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
Affordable and reliable, with fast service and always responsive to my messages and questions. They delivered my appraisal on time without a glitch. 100% Recommended! I wouldn’t use anyone else for my business. Thank you, Joe — you’re great!
Machinery & Equipment Appraisal for Bankruptcy Filing
They did an appraisal of medical equipment for donation. They did it quickly, and I received a blank form 8283 signed by the appraiser. It was what I needed. The price was higher than I wanted to spend on an appraisal, but a lot lower than other appraisers. AppraiseItNow was very responsive and communicative, and the other appraisers were not. I would 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:
With the cost approach: the appraiser estimates replacement cost new, then deducts physical, functional, and economic depreciation in detail rather than forcing weak comparables. For custom or highly specialized machines, that method produces a far more defensible number than stretching thin market data.
A strong report states the standard and premise of value, describes the approaches considered and applied, and reconciles the value indications; weak reports omit methodology or rest on unsubstantiated price guesses. If a lender, court, or the IRS will read it, the methodology section is what earns their reliance.
Three months after letters are granted. Delaware requires the executor or administrator to file an inventory and appraisal of the decedent's goods and chattels with the Register of Wills, supported by the fiduciary's own affidavit of completeness, so contractor and business equipment needs documented values quickly.
Barely. Delaware's tools-of-trade exemption is capped at $75 in New Castle and Sussex Counties and $50 in Kent County under 10 Del. C. section 4904, so virtually all real construction equipment is exposed to execution. Property claimed as exempt must also be formally valued by three impartial freeholders, a distinct process from a market appraisal.
No. 12 Del. C. section 1905(c) expressly permits different persons to appraise different kinds of assets in the same estate, with each appraiser's name and address shown on the inventory. That lets an equipment specialist handle the machinery while other experts cover real estate, vehicles, or collections.
