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.

The appraisal was done very well. Since he was a local artist here in Charleston, SC, they took the time to study and review Jim Booth’s art. His work has made him extremely famous, which can make an appraisal challenging, but they did a superb job and clearly explained how they arrived at the appraisal value. I highly recommend Appraise It Now and will use them again for all my artwork.

These guys were phenomenal. Joe was very responsive and gave clear instructions on how to submit my information for the appraisal, which he completed in a very quick timeframe. The appraisal itself was extremely detailed and included a thorough explanation of how they arrived at the value. It came with extensive documentation, and it’s clear they did a significant amount of research. They were also very responsive through text and email and always available to answer any questions. I had them appraise my fifth-wheel RV for resale, and I highly recommend their services. I will definitely use them again.

It is a pleasure to work with Joe and his team. They communicate every step along the way and made the process simple for us to have more than 35 firearms appraised. It was all done in a timely manner and the final report is easy to understand. I highly recommend their services.

I was very happy with the work put in on my totaled car appraisal. They did the appraisal quickly and VERY thoroughly. I felt like my insurance company gave a very low appraisal and Appraise It Now was very competitive, realistic and true to my expectations. The best part was they did a stellar job negotiating with my insurance company. I feel great about their work.

I was very pleased with the service from AppraiseItNow. They responded quickly, offered fair pricing and turnaround, and the appraisal was done by a highly qualified expert. I provided details, photos, and records, and the final report was exactly what I needed. Fantastic service. I’d definitely use them again.

Very thorough and professional — great communication and outstanding service. Highly impressed with their work!

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!!👊🏼

We were amazed at their professionalism in working with us and the quality of the final appraisal report. And all for thousands less than other appraisers.

I asked AppraiseItNow to value a piece of sports memorabilia for purposes of a charitable donation. The item is rarely sold. Their research unearthed an important recent sale of a similar item, which I had not found previously, and which the first appraiser I used had not found either. AppraiseItNow was a good deal more expensive than the first service, but they crafted a detailed report in which I have much more confidence. They also helped me make sure the correct tax forms are used. Thank you!

Frequently Asked
Questions

What is Real Estate Lending?

Real estate lending is a fundamental financial practice involving loans secured by real property, encompassing residential, commercial, and industrial properties. This critical mechanism enables individuals and businesses to acquire, develop, and leverage real estate assets through structured financial products.

Lending institutions provide funds that support property purchases, refinancing, and strategic investment opportunities. These loans serve diverse purposes, ranging from helping first-time homebuyers secure residential properties to supporting commercial enterprises in expanding their real estate portfolios.

The lending process involves comprehensive risk assessment, where financial institutions evaluate multiple factors including borrower creditworthiness, property valuation, income stability, and potential market conditions. Lenders carefully analyze these elements to determine loan terms, interest rates, and overall financial feasibility.

Different loan types cater to specific market segments, with variations in structure, duration, and qualification requirements. Residential mortgages typically feature longer repayment periods and more standardized terms, while commercial real estate loans often incorporate more complex underwriting processes and shorter repayment timelines.

By facilitating property transactions and providing capital access, real estate lending plays a pivotal role in economic development. It empowers individuals and businesses to make strategic property investments, support economic growth, and create opportunities for wealth generation through real estate ownership and development.

Why do I need an appraisal for Real Estate Lending?

An appraisal is a critical component in real estate lending, serving multiple essential functions for both lenders and borrowers. It provides an objective, professional assessment of a property's market value, which is fundamental to protecting financial interests and ensuring fair transactions.

For lenders, an appraisal acts as a risk management tool. By determining the precise market value of a property, financial institutions can make informed decisions about loan amounts, ensuring they do not extend credit that exceeds the property's worth. This evaluation considers multiple factors including location, property condition, recent comparable sales, and current market trends.

Borrowers benefit significantly from this process as well. An independent appraisal helps prevent overpaying for a property by providing an unbiased valuation based on current market conditions. It offers transparency and confidence in the transaction, allowing buyers to negotiate more effectively and understand the true value of their potential investment.

The appraisal process also plays a crucial role in regulatory compliance. Many lending institutions are legally required to obtain a professional property valuation to ensure fairness and transparency in real estate transactions. This requirement protects both the lender's financial interests and the borrower's rights.

Beyond initial property purchases, appraisals remain important for refinancing, home equity lines of credit, and other financial transactions involving real estate. They provide a current, accurate snapshot of a property's value, which is essential for making sound financial decisions.

By bridging the gap between perceived and actual property value, appraisals contribute to a more stable and transparent real estate market. They represent a critical step in maintaining financial integrity and protecting the interests of all parties involved in real estate lending.
