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.
Responsive, professional, first class deliverables -- especially considering that that the appraised assets are extremely complex financial assets with little by way of comps. The deliverable satisfied my accountants and advisers as being more than adequate to support the valuation needed to complete a conversion to a Roth IRA

Joe and Aron were extremely impressive - the entire process went very smoothly. They were always quick to respond to any questions I had and could not have been more helpful. They were aware of some tight time restrictions I had and made sure I received my reports in a timely fashion. I highly recommend them to anyone needing a valuation.

Popular uses of our appraisal reports include:
No. Mississippi's Real Estate Appraiser Licensing and Certification Act covers only real estate appraisal activity, so business valuations fall outside state licensure. What matters to courts, lenders, and the IRS is adherence to recognized valuation standards and a documented, defensible methodology.
Mississippi follows equitable distribution, dividing marital assets by fairness factors such as contributions and economic circumstances rather than a fixed 50/50 split, with valuation typically near trial or separation. A supportable business valuation is usually the largest single input to that division.
Historical and projected financial statements, the company's history and outlook, earning and dividend-paying capacity, prior sales of interests, and comparable transaction data. IRS Business Valuation Guidelines require the workpapers to show how those inputs and any discounts led to the final conclusion.
Through the state pricing guide and percent-good depreciation tables applied by asset class, with deviations allowed only when market-driven and documented. Invoices from arm’s-length purchases are accepted only when they reflect market value and include installation, and industrial property starts from original acquisition cost new including installation. Those mechanics can pull tax values away from what a buyer would actually pay.
In the county, municipality, or district where the property sits on the day the tax lien takes effect, not where the owner resides. Miss. Code 27-35-7 even lets an owner’s agent render the list, with a special rule assessing contractors’ equipment where it is being used. Multi-location companies therefore need location-level asset schedules behind any valuation.
