Will my appraisal be accepted by the IRS, insurers, or courts?

AppraiseItNow prepares appraisals to qualified appraisal standards, which are designed to meet the requirements of the IRS, insurance carriers, and courts. While no appraiser can guarantee acceptance in every situation, adhering to USPAP and recognized professional standards significantly reduces the risk of a report being questioned or rejected.
