The Appraisal FoundationAuthorized by Congress as the source of appraisal standardsAppraiseItNow provides insurance coverage appraisals for individuals and businesses throughout New Jersey, establishing accurate insurable values for personal property, equipment, fine art, watercraft, and vehicles. New Jersey courts enforce appraisal clauses in insurance policies when disputes arise over the amount of loss, making documented, USPAP-compliant valuations especially important for policyholders. No IRS filing thresholds apply to insurance coverage appraisals, but insurers require credible, photo-documented reports to accept scheduled riders and policy limits.
AppraiseItNow serves clients through both remote and onsite appraisal options, making the process straightforward regardless of asset type or location. Our appraisers in New Jersey cover the entire state, from Newark and Jersey City to suburban townships and coastal communities.
AppraiseItNow covers the full range of assets that New Jersey policyholders and businesses need documented for insurance coverage purposes, including:
AppraiseItNow works with homeowners, collectors, auto owners, commercial businesses, and marine asset holders across New Jersey who need accurate insurable values to protect their assets and avoid underinsurance. Clients range from individuals scheduling jewelry or fine art riders to manufacturers and medical facilities ensuring their equipment coverage reflects current replacement costs.
What New Jersey clients say we are known for
Across 17 published New Jersey 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 much research is visible in the report, and how quickly we answer.
We recently used AppraiseItNow for one of our clients and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The customer service was excellent, and Joe was quick to respond to all of our questions. He provided everything we needed promptly and made the process smooth from start to finish. Thank you!
Boat Appraisal for Insurance Coverage
These guys were phenomenal. Joe was very responsive and gave clear instructions on how to submit my information for the appraisal, which he completed in a very quick timeframe. The appraisal itself was extremely detailed and included a thorough explanation of how they arrived at the value. It came with extensive documentation, and it’s clear they did a significant amount of research. They were also very responsive through text and email and always available to answer any questions. I had them appraise my fifth-wheel RV for resale, and I highly recommend their services. I will definitely use them again.
Recreational Vehicle Appraisal for Insurance Coverage
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's service was expeditious and professional. The report was thorough with plenty of examples and rationale for the valuations. Good service comes at a cost, but for me it was well worth it. Highly recommended!
Personal Property Appraisal for Insurance Coverage
I was looking for an appraisal and time was of the essence. They got the job done in only a few days with excellent customer service. Great business to work with.
Machinery & Equipment Appraisal for Insurance Coverage
Joe made the process to have my piece of furniture appraised extremely easy, efficient and quick. My experience was great and I'd recommend AppraiseItNow to anyone looking for an appraisal.
Furniture Appraisal for Insurance Coverage
No. New Jersey's appraiser licensing statute applies to real estate appraisal assignments only. There is no state license for appraisers of jewelry, art, equipment, or collections, so insurers evaluate methodology and standards compliance instead; our reports are prepared to USPAP.
It should not. For locally assessable business personal property, New Jersey presumes true value equals original cost less book depreciation, an accounting convention built for taxation. Insurance coverage decisions need current replacement cost or market value, which can differ sharply from a depreciated book figure.
No. N.J.S.A. 54:4-9.1 reaches certain nonbusiness tangible property but expressly excludes household personal property and personal effects. With no tax listing to fall back on, an insurance appraisal is usually the only formal, itemized record of what your contents are worth.
Different standards and different appraisers. Inheritance and estate tax valuations use clear market value at the date of death, are made by Division of Taxation representatives, and can require broker or dealer support on demand. Insurance coverage appraisals are private engagements measuring what your policy insures, on the valuation basis the policy specifies.
