Georgia appraisers providing USPAP-compliant valuations of machinery and equipment, inventory, business interests, vehicles, boats, and household contents for PT-50P property tax returns, assessment appeals, insurance claims, estate settlement, bankruptcy, and lending. AppraiseItNow serves Atlanta, Savannah, Augusta, Columbus, Macon, and clients statewide, online or onsite.
DEFENSIBLE, USPAP-COMPLIANT APPRAISAL REPORTS — QUALIFIED FOR THE IRS, GEORGIA COURTS, LENDERS, INSURERS, AND MORE.
Corporate Atlanta, the port of Savannah, and the manufacturing and farming belts between them each generate their own valuation questions. Every assignment is completed by our own credentialed appraisers, online from photographs and documentation you upload or onsite anywhere in the state.
Logistics, media, airline headquarters, and permanent film studio capacity. Privately held company interests, production and studio equipment, and Buckhead art collections.
A top container port beside one of the largest historic districts. Period furniture and Southern decorative arts, terminal and marine equipment, and gallery inventories.

A rail and distribution crossroads with a Capricorn Records history. Instruments and music memorabilia, warehouse equipment, and antebellum household contents.
University of Georgia research and a durable music-scene collecting culture. Laboratory instruments, instruments and stage equipment, and historic district estate contents.
More carpet and flooring is made here than anywhere in the world. Tufting machines, extrusion and dyeing lines, and complete plant packages.
Pine timber, peanuts, and cotton across the southern tier. Harvesting equipment, sawmill and planer machinery, and irrigation systems.
AppraiseItNow appraises the machinery, fixtures, and inventory Georgia businesses report on the PT-50P return between January 1 and April 1, and the same assets again when an assessment notice arrives and the 45-day appeal window opens. We also value the cars and trucks behind a title bond or a total loss dispute, the furniture, clothing, and collections in an estate or an insurance claim, and closely held business interests for sale, lending, and bankruptcy. Georgia has levied no estate tax on deaths since 2005, so an estate appraisal here exists for the probate court and the heirs; a personal representative's commission on property delivered in kind is capped at 3 percent of appraised value.
Most reports are completed online from photographs and documents you upload; onsite inspection is available statewide for plant floors in Dalton and along the I-85 corridor, warehouse equipment near the Port of Savannah, and full-house estates across metro Atlanta. Fees are fixed and quoted before work begins, and if an April 1 filing, an appeal deadline, or a court date is in play, we confirm up front whether we can meet it. We do not appraise real estate; for land or buildings we refer you to a state-licensed real estate appraiser.

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.
Was very impressed from start to finish with the level of communication, promptness, and professionalism. Aron and Joe made the appraisal process easy and painless. Highly recommend.
Crypto Appraisal for Charitable Donation
My daughter had purchased a very collectible 2003 Mustang Cobra terminator just 3 months before her accident with 50,000 miles on it, for 30,000 dollars. We were experiencing some very heavy rains and she hydroplaned and smashed into a guard rail and totaled her car. The insurance company offered her $18,000, but we told them that was an insult to this car. We kept going round and round with them but they were not budging. Finally we googled an independent appraiser and found AppraiseItNow! Their appraised value was 26,462. They negotiated with the insurance for us and we ended up with 25,900. They were awesome and helped us get much closer to the appropriate value of the Cobra. Absolutely worth the price we paid. Highly recommended!
Car Appraisal for Insurance Claim
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!!👊🏼
Personal Property Appraisal for Charitable Donation
I've dealt with several appraisers, and this was my first time using AppraiseItNow. They were by far the best. They did a great job. Their process was honest, efficient, and very detailed. Their staff was highly credentialed, and they provided IRS-compliant guidelines in their evaluation process, which was exactly what we were looking for. Their customer service also had prompt response times and was a pleasure to work with. If I need this service again, I won't go anywhere else.
Personal Property Appraisal for Charitable Donation
My wife and I purchased a property that included a double-wide mobile home, which we decided to donate to a local charitable organization that provides housing for low-income families. This type of donation required a formal appraisal to qualify for an IRS tax deduction, so we reached out to Appraise It Now. From the start, they were able to clearly answer all of our questions about both the appraisal process and the tax deduction requirements. We provided photos and additional details, and within 10 days we received a thorough, well-prepared report that included all the necessary IRS forms. I’m giving Appraise It Now a five-star review because communication was excellent throughout the entire process. Everyone I spoke with was helpful, friendly, and professional, and emails were always answered quickly. We were completely satisfied with the experience. Thank you!
Mobile Home Appraisal for Charitable Donation
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.

The Appraisal FoundationAuthorized by Congress as the source of appraisal standardsWithin six months after the personal representative qualifies, unless the will or the court relieves the requirement or the probate court extends the time for good cause. Under O.C.G.A. § 53-7-30 the inventory is filed with the probate court and mailed to the beneficiaries or heirs, and it is verified as a true statement of all the decedent's property known to the representative.
Not usually. The Department of Revenue sets the bond at two times the vehicle's average retail value according to its own tables, with a $5,000 minimum, on Form MV-46, and the title must be applied for within six months of the bond's issue date. An independent appraisal becomes useful when the vehicle falls outside the state's value tables, such as a custom build, a salvage rebuild, or a classic.
Most vehicles purchased before March 1, 2013, along with non-titled vehicles and trailers, which are exempt from TAVT and taxed each year instead. TAVT replaced sales tax and the annual tax for vehicles titled after that date, at a one-time rate of 7 percent of fair market value.
