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.
Responsive, professional, first class deliverables -- especially considering that that the appraised assets are extremely complex financial assets with little by way of comps. The deliverable satisfied my accountants and advisers as being more than adequate to support the valuation needed to complete a conversion to a Roth IRA
Business Valuation Appraisal for IRA Conversion
Joe and Aron were extremely impressive - the entire process went very smoothly. They were always quick to respond to any questions I had and could not have been more helpful. They were aware of some tight time restrictions I had and made sure I received my reports in a timely fashion. I highly recommend them to anyone needing a valuation.
Business Valuation Appraisal for Charitable Donation
I used AppraiseItNow to examine a contribution to a foundation. Their work was quick, thorough, and easy to work with, as they’ve developed a simple system for uploading documents. I plan to use them again.

Popular uses of our appraisal reports include:
A credible report states the standard of value, premise of value, effective date, the exact interest being valued, key assumptions, and the information sources behind the conclusion. Professional standards from the ASA, NACVA, AICPA, and USPAP all require these elements, and a report missing them invites challenge.
Not for anything formal. Professional standards restrict rules of thumb to secondary reasonableness checks because they ignore company-specific earnings quality, growth prospects, asset mix, and risk. A supportable value comes from analyzing your actual financial statements under the income, market, and asset-based approaches.
No. Idaho repealed its state estate tax and levies no inheritance tax, so a business interest in an Idaho estate matters for federal estate tax reporting rather than a state death tax. Date-of-death valuation remains the foundation for the federal side and for fair distribution among heirs.
Yes. Idaho Code 15-3-707 lets the personal representative employ a qualified and disinterested appraiser for any asset whose value may be subject to reasonable doubt, and the appraiser’s name and address must appear on the inventory next to the items they appraised. Different appraisers may handle different asset classes, so a company interest and the machinery inside it can each go to a specialist.
Yes, as of the date it arrives. Idaho Code 63-205 sets the annual assessment date at 12:01 a.m. on January 1 but provides that personal property entering the state after that date is assessed on the date of entry. A company relocating machinery into Idaho picks up an assessment in the year of the move rather than waiting for the next January snapshot.
