What New Mexico clients say we are known for
Across 38 published New Mexico 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.
AppraiseItNow Inc. is the best company I was lucky to find by accident. I was looking for someone to appraise cabinets for a donation to charity. I asked for multiple referrals, called multiple appraisal services, etc., and no one could help me. I found AppraiseItNow and from the moment I started working with them, they were wonderful! Joe guided me on what I needed to send him, what needed to be done and stayed in touch with me the entire time. Their customer service is OUTSTANDING and a welcome surprise in today’s world where good customer service is an anomaly! They returned an appraisal in a timely manner, it was clear, concise, cost-effective and exactly what I needed. They followed up with me multiple times to ensure that I received it and everything was OK. My CPA is also thrilled to have them as an accredited appraisal service he can use for other clients. I rarely leave reviews, but I could not pass giving them 5 stars and I’d give 10 if possible! THANK YOU JOE AND ALL AT APPRAISEITNOW!!👊🏼
Personal Property Appraisal for Charitable Donation
My wife and I purchased a property that included a double-wide mobile home, which we decided to donate to a local charitable organization that provides housing for low-income families. This type of donation required a formal appraisal to qualify for an IRS tax deduction, so we reached out to Appraise It Now. From the start, they were able to clearly answer all of our questions about both the appraisal process and the tax deduction requirements. We provided photos and additional details, and within 10 days we received a thorough, well-prepared report that included all the necessary IRS forms. I’m giving Appraise It Now a five-star review because communication was excellent throughout the entire process. Everyone I spoke with was helpful, friendly, and professional, and emails were always answered quickly. We were completely satisfied with the experience. Thank you!
Mobile Home Appraisal for Charitable Donation
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
I asked AppraiseItNow to value a piece of sports memorabilia for purposes of a charitable donation. The item is rarely sold. Their research unearthed an important recent sale of a similar item, which I had not found previously, and which the first appraiser I used had not found either. AppraiseItNow was a good deal more expensive than the first service, but they crafted a detailed report in which I have much more confidence. They also helped me make sure the correct tax forms are used. Thank you!
Sports Memorabilia Appraisal for Charitable Donation
10 Stars!! Joe was a pleasure to work with. Answered all my questions with incredible patience. Payment was swift and they got started immediately and the turn around time was much sooner than I expected. (I was on a time crunch and they got it done for me incredibly fast!) And the best part was the appraisal was even more than what I was expecting. And everything I need was sent to my email. Fantastic experience, would recommend to anyone needing an appraisal!
Auto Appraisal for Charitable Donation

Inventory Appraisal for Charitable Donation
No. For personal property, New Mexico follows the federal framework: a written acknowledgment at $250, Form 8283 at $500, and a qualified appraisal with Section B above $5,000. The state's extra appraisal rules attach only to its land conservation credit, which involves real property.
Because it goes beyond federal law: appraisals supporting the land conservation incentives credit must be completed by a New Mexico General Certified Appraiser, comply with USPAP under Rule 3.13.20 NMAC, and be dated no more than 60 days before the donation. Those add-ons apply to land and interests in land, not to gifts of vehicles, art, or equipment.
The federal package. New Mexico institutions such as New Mexico State University instruct donors that gifts of tangible personal property claimed above $5,000 need an appraisal from a qualified appraiser plus the IRS form filed with the return, mirroring IRC 170(f)(11) rather than any state-specific process.
Only as a last resort. N.M. Stat. § 13-6-1(F) lets a governing authority donate tangible personal property to a 501(c)(3) organization only after the statute's sale procedures have failed and the property has no value. The statute sets no dollar threshold and requires no court valuation filing, leaving documentation to administrative discretion, the reverse of the tightly defined appraisal ladder private donors face.
Not at the application stage. State guidance allows an applicant for the land conservation incentives credit to submit the assessment application to the Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department before or after conveying the interest, without an appraisal in the package. The qualified appraisal by a New Mexico General Certified Appraiser enters later, when the credit itself is claimed.
