Affordable and reliable, with fast service and always responsive to my messages and questions. They delivered my appraisal on time without a glitch. 100% Recommended! I wouldn’t use anyone else for my business. Thank you, Joe — you’re great!
Machinery & Equipment Appraisal for Bankruptcy Filing
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
Business Valuation Appraisal for IRA Conversion
I was in dire need of an appraisal for my father's mobile home, which he needed for Medicaid approval. I couldn’t find anyone to do it for a long time, but then I found this company online and decided to give them a try. I’m so glad I did. They were wonderful to work with. I sent the pictures, and within just a few days I received the appraisal. They are absolutely worth the money.
Mobile Home Appraisal
I recently requested a retroactive appraisal for fine art from AppraiseItNow. I received excellent service from intake to delivery. The appraisal was delivered on time and the content of the appraisal absolutely met my expectations!
Artwork Appraisal
From the start they were very responsive, price competitive, and had a quick turn around time. Thank you so much to Joe who was very sweet in responding to my emails; I am looking forward to utilizing AppraiseItNow for many years to come.
Very thorough and professional — great communication and outstanding service. Highly impressed with their work!
Garage-sale value. Missouri practice lets debtors list clothing, furnishings, and everyday personal property at what the items would realistically bring in an informal sale in current condition, with formal appraisals reserved for higher-value or disputed assets such as vehicles, equipment, and collections.
Missouri filers must use state exemptions, and the caps are low: $3,000 aggregate for household furnishings and related goods, $3,000 for motor vehicles, $1,500 for wedding and engagement rings, $500 for other jewelry, and $1,500 for firearms under RSMo 513.430. Trustees look hardest at values sitting at or near those limits.
No. Older summaries repeat $1,000 caps for household goods and for a motor vehicle, but the current statute allows $3,000 in each category. Valuations and exemption planning built on the outdated caps misstate what is actually protected.
Only after 730 days of Missouri domicile. Debtors who moved within two years of filing must use the exemption law of the state where they lived longest during the earlier lookback period, which can change which valuations matter and how precisely items need to be appraised.
