The Appraisal FoundationAuthorized by Congress as the source of appraisal standardsAppraiseItNow provides professional equipment and machinery appraisal services throughout Massachusetts, supporting a wide range of purposes including charitable donations, lending and financing, mergers and acquisitions, and financial reporting. Massachusetts businesses operate across some of the most asset-intensive industries in the country, from biotech and medical device manufacturing in the Boston-Cambridge corridor to advanced metalworking and CNC operations in Worcester and Lynn, and our appraisers bring the expertise needed to value these assets accurately. Whether you are securing an SBA 504 or 7(a) loan, satisfying IRS requirements for a noncash charitable contribution on Form 8283, preparing for a business sale, or meeting GAAP financial reporting obligations, AppraiseItNow delivers credentialed, court-defensible valuations backed by USPAP compliance.
Our appraisers serve clients across Massachusetts through both remote desktop appraisals and onsite inspections, depending on the complexity and condition of the assets involved. For straightforward equipment with well-documented specifications, a remote appraisal can often be completed quickly using photographs, serial numbers, and maintenance records. For large industrial machinery, specialized medical equipment, or high-value manufacturing assets, an onsite inspection ensures the most accurate and defensible result. We offer Fair Market Value (FMV), Orderly Liquidation Value (OLV), Forced Liquidation Value (FLV), and Replacement Value appraisals for various intended uses. Learn more about our full equipment and machinery appraisal capabilities and how we can support your specific valuation needs.
AppraiseItNow appraises a broad spectrum of equipment and machinery assets across Massachusetts industries, including:
Massachusetts is home to some of the most specialized equipment concentrations in the country, particularly in the life sciences, defense manufacturing, and advanced technology sectors. Our appraisers maintain access to extensive comparable sales databases built over decades, which is especially critical when valuing niche assets like electron microscopes, semiconductor fabrication tools, or specialized bioprocessing equipment found throughout the Greater Boston area.
AppraiseItNow serves a wide range of clients across Massachusetts, including manufacturers, hospitals, universities, financial institutions, law firms, accounting firms, business owners, and nonprofit organizations. Whether you are a lender requiring collateral valuations, an attorney handling a business dispute or divorce proceeding, or a CFO preparing for an audit or acquisition, our appraisers provide the credentialed, USPAP-compliant reports your situation demands.
What Massachusetts clients say we are known for
Across 16 published Massachusetts appraisal reviews, every one from a client who paid AppraiseItNow for an appraisal, 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.
I needed an IRS-qualified appraisal for an unusual and costly piece of medical equipment. AppraiseItNow was able to provide me exactly what I needed on a timely basis. The personnel at the company are very friendly and helpful. I would definitely use them again.
Medical Equipment Appraisal for Charitable Donation
They did an appraisal of medical equipment for donation. They did it quickly, and I received a blank form 8283 signed by the appraiser. It was what I needed. The price was higher than I wanted to spend on an appraisal, but a lot lower than other appraisers. AppraiseItNow was very responsive and communicative, and the other appraisers were not. I would use them again.

Technology Equipment Appraisal for Divorce
Given the USPAP-compliant nature of AppraiseItNow’s appraisal reports, we prepare our deliverables for major legal, tax, and financial reporting purposes for individual and commercial clients.
Popular uses of our appraisal reports include:
Primarily through the market and cost approaches: recent sales of comparable units from used-equipment dealers, OEM trade-in quotes, and auction records establish market value, while the cost approach starts from replacement cost new for the specific model and deducts physical, functional, and economic depreciation rather than book depreciation.
Because small configuration differences can swing value by tens of thousands of dollars. Software licensing level, accessories, and recent upgrades change both replacement cost and the comparable set, so we document manufacturer, model, serial number, configuration, and service history for each asset.
Yes. Owners of taxable personal property on January 1 file a Form of List, State Tax Form 2, with local assessors by March 1, listing equipment with details like original cost and year of purchase. Assessors then value it at fair cash value, so credible market evidence matters when assessments run high.
Yes, through technological obsolescence. Appraisers weigh technological relevance and market demand alongside physical condition, and a device can drop sharply in value when newer generations reach the market even if it runs perfectly.
