AppraiseItNow offers both remote and onsite art appraisal services to clients across New Hampshire, from Manchester and Nashua to Portsmouth, Concord, and communities throughout the Granite State.

We offer Fair Market Value (FMV) and Replacement Value appraisals for various intended uses.
Our appraisers evaluate a broad spectrum of artwork, from traditional fine art to contemporary and decorative works held in private collections, estates, and charitable organizations across New Hampshire. We appraise:
Whether your collection consists of a single inherited piece or dozens of works accumulated over a lifetime, our appraisers have the expertise to assess condition, provenance, and current market value accurately. New Hampshire collectors and estates often benefit from appraisers familiar with the broader New England and Boston-area markets, where comparable sales data for regional and national artists is most relevant.
AppraiseItNow serves individual collectors, estate executors, attorneys, financial advisors, nonprofits, insurance professionals, and divorcing spouses throughout New Hampshire who need accurate, well-supported artwork valuations for legal, financial, or tax-related purposes.
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.
The appraisal was done very well. Since he was a local artist here in Charleston, SC, they took the time to study and review Jim Booth’s art. His work has made him extremely famous, which can make an appraisal challenging, but they did a superb job and clearly explained how they arrived at the appraisal value. I highly recommend Appraise It Now and will use them again for all my artwork.
Artwork Appraisal for Insurance Coverage
AppraiseItNow did an excellent job appraising our unique art collection. Joe was always prompt and responsive, and he and his team delivered a thorough, well-supported appraisal in just a couple of weeks, even during the holiday season. I was genuinely impressed. Thank you for the great work!
Artwork Appraisal for Insurance Coverage
AppraiseItNow was amazing! My father passed with a large volume of artwork & I had no idea what it was worth. Their team was incredibly helpful and quick to respond with text and/or email to any questions as well as a status update along the way. Highly recommend!
Artwork Appraisal for Probate
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!

Popular uses of our appraisal reports include:
Recent arm's-length sales of similar works in the relevant market. We build the analysis from auction records and documented private sales, adjust for differences against the subject work, and reconcile to a fair market value conclusion, disclosing the method and specific comparables as the IRS expects for tax-related assignments.
Within 90 days of the fiduciary's appointment. RSA 554:1 requires a full, itemized inventory of the decedent's property on Form NHJB-2125-Pe, with each asset valued as of the date of death. Court guidance points to qualified appraisals for high-value items such as art and antiques, so significant works deserve documented valuations rather than guesses.
Far less than owners assume. Quantitative pricing studies show artist identity can account for 30-40% of value variance while size contributes only about 2-5% per additional 100 square inches, and condition problems can cut value by 20-50%. Attribution, condition, and provenance drive our adjustments, not dimensions.
Wearing apparel, Bibles, family pictures, photographs, and trinkets of sentimental rather than intrinsic value are excluded from the household-contents attachment of Form NHJB-2125-P. Artwork and collectibles do not qualify for that carve-out: they must be itemized with date-of-death values, which is where a documented appraisal earns its keep.
No state tax applies either way: New Hampshire has no general sales tax and no estate tax for deaths on or after January 1, 2005. Federal rules still reach significant collections, including estate tax above the federal exclusion and the collectibles capital gains rate of up to 28% on sales of art held longer than a year.
