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:
The income, market, and asset-based approaches. Professional standards from the AICPA, ASA, and NACVA, along with IRS Business Valuation Guidelines, require appraisers to consider all three and then weight the methods that best indicate value for the specific company. A report that ignores an approach without explaining why is a common deficiency in review.
The interest is valued at fair market value as part of what each beneficiary receives, and county-collected graduated rates apply based on the heir's relationship to the decedent, with remote heirs taxed at the highest rates. Because the tax base turns on value, a documented business valuation directly affects what Nebraska heirs owe.
Private transaction databases and guideline company evidence, not generalized price guides. We draw on sources such as DealStats, BIZCOMPS, and IBA Market Data for actual deal prices and earnings multiples, plus public company data where relevant, to anchor the market approach for Nebraska companies in observed transactions.
The Nebraska Supreme Court held that discounts for lack of control and lack of marketability are generally inappropriate under the state’s fair value standard, overturning a trial court that had applied both to a 14.84% interest in a family farming business. Valuing a Nebraska court-ordered buyout at discounted fair market value instead of pro rata fair value is now a recognized error.
Three months from appointment. Neb. Rev. Stat. 30-2467 requires the personal representative to file an inventory listing all property at fair market value as of the date of death with encumbrances noted, and section 30-2468 allows employing disinterested appraisers for assets whose value is reasonably debatable, which typically includes closely held business interests.
