What Florida clients say we are known for
Across 9 published Florida appraisal reviews, every one from a client who paid AppraiseItNow for an appraisal, the three things they raise most often are how quickly we answer, that they would hire us again, and how fast the finished report arrived.
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!

Personal Property Appraisal
I recently used AppraiseItNow for a valuation of a 2001 Corvette needed for 2024 Gift Tax purposes. It was straightforward and relatively simple even for someone not too tech savvy like me!
Car Appraisal for Gift Tax
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 was in dire need of an appraisal for my father's mobile home, which he needed for Medicaid approval. I couldn’t find anyone to do it for a long time, but then I found this company online and decided to give them a try. I’m so glad I did. They were wonderful to work with. I sent the pictures, and within just a few days I received the appraisal. They are absolutely worth the money.
Mobile Home Appraisal
Whatever date the judge determines is just and equitable, and different assets can be valued on different dates. Florida Statutes § 61.075 gives the court that discretion, and courts have upheld valuation as of the filing date, the final hearing, and points between. Because the target date can shift by asset, appraisals in Florida cases are often prepared, or updated, to match the date the court settles on.
At the earliest of three cutoffs under § 61.075(6): the date the spouses sign a valid separation agreement, another date the agreement expressly sets, or the date the dissolution petition is filed. Assets acquired before that cutoff are generally marital and must be valued for equitable distribution; later acquisitions are generally nonmarital.
For significant ones, yes. Section 61.075(3) requires the judgment in a contested case to make written factual findings supported by competent substantial evidence, and Florida Bar commentary confirms that includes individual valuations of significant marital assets. An appraisal that can qualify as competent substantial evidence is what those findings rest on.
Within about 45 days of service of the petition, when the Family Law Financial Affidavit is generally due. That Supreme Court approved form is where personal property values first enter the case record, so obtaining defensible values for vehicles, jewelry, collections, and business interests early keeps the affidavit accurate rather than a guess that gets impeached later.
