What Nevada clients say we are known for
Across 16 published Nevada 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 recommend AppraiseItNow Inc. highly. I needed an appraisal of fair market value for geologic laboratory equipment for charitable donations to three universities. The unique items and limited secondary market complicated the valuation. They provided a sound, verifiable estimate and the 8283 forms that I was able to use in my tax filings. I would use them again.
Lab Equipment Appraisal for Charitable Donation
AppraiseItNow did an outstanding job appraising my 1998 Bobcat Skid Steer and circa 2010 Yuchai Crawler Dozer. We could not locate a serial number on the dozer, and there were no online sales available, but they were still able to develop an accurate appraisal using known specifications for my dozer compared to other comparable make and model dozers. They diligently researched both equipment items and provided well-documented reports.
Machinery & Equipment Appraisal
I highly recommend the AppraiseItNow team. They were responsive and timely from start to finish, and the whole process was seamless. The final report was super detailed and gave me all the information I needed. I am so glad I hired them and would recommend them to anyone needing an appraisal!
Technology Equipment Appraisal for Divorce
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
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
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.
Medical Equipment Appraisal for Charitable Donation
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. We compare your equipment to documented transactions from auction platforms like BidSpotter, IronPlanet, and MachineryTrader and adjust for age, hours, configuration, and location, then cross-check with a cost analysis that starts at current replacement cost and deducts physical, functional, and economic depreciation.
No. Nevada's personal property tax system derives taxable value from acquisition cost, acquisition year, expected life, and a cost-conversion factor per the state's Personal Property Manual, with businesses filing annual declarations (due July 31 in Clark County). That formula-driven figure serves tax administration; it is not a substitute for a market-based appraisal when you are selling, financing, or litigating over equipment.
No. NRS 361.221 bars a person from performing appraiser duties for the state or its political subdivisions without a valid appraiser's certificate from the Department; a noncertified employee may collect data, but a certified appraiser must review it. That rule governs government assessment work, while private equipment appraisals are judged on methodology and documentation.
Generally not at private sale. NRS 148.170 bars the court from confirming a private sale of personal property unless the offer represents fair market value and the property was appraised within one year before the sale; otherwise a new appraisement is required, with waiver available only in narrow circumstances. A stale valuation can stall an estate sale.
Yes. NRS 361.068 exempts business inventories held for sale, consumable supplies, livestock, certain agricultural equipment and pipe, and fine art for public display, among other categories. Qualifying assets sit entirely outside the tax base, which changes the annual carrying cost picture for equipment-heavy operations.
