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

AppraiseItNow appraisals are prepared to qualified appraisal standards, including a defined valuation date, documented methodology, appraiser credentials, and a non-contingent fee declaration. No appraisal firm can guarantee acceptance by any third party, but following these standards significantly reduces the risk of a report being questioned or rejected.
