The Appraisal FoundationAuthorized by Congress as the source of appraisal standardsAppraiseItNow provides certified insurance claim appraisals for policyholders and insurers across New York, delivering independent valuations that establish actual cash value or replacement cost for disputed losses. Under New York Insurance Law Section 3408(c), every homeowner, tenant, cooperative apartment, and condominium policy must include an appraisal provision, giving policyholders a formal mechanism to resolve valuation disputes without litigation. The 2014 legislative amendment expanded the scope of appraisal to include the extent and scope of damage, making a qualified independent appraisal more important than ever.

What New York clients say we are known for
Across 18 published New York 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 fast the finished report arrived.
I used AppraiseItNow for the first time last month and I was extremely pleased with the results. I needed an appraisal done for insurance purposes and the level of detail about each of my antique furniture pieces was thorough and very helpful in my being able to get the highest amount possible from my insurance company for the antique items that were damaged. I could see that they spent time making sure that the information she included was correct and current for my antique furniture items in the current market. The team responded to my emails timely to answer any questions I had. I would highly recommend Appraise It Now to get a thorough and professional appraisal done on antique items. I do intend to use them again for other antique furniture and jewelry that I have. Job well done! 😃🤗
Antique Furniture Appraisal for Insurance Claim
My daughter had purchased a very collectible 2003 Mustang Cobra terminator just 3 months before her accident with 50,000 miles on it, for 30,000 dollars. We were experiencing some very heavy rains and she hydroplaned and smashed into a guard rail and totaled her car. The insurance company offered her $18,000, but we told them that was an insult to this car. We kept going round and round with them but they were not budging. Finally we googled an independent appraiser and found AppraiseItNow! Their appraised value was 26,462. They negotiated with the insurance for us and we ended up with 25,900. They were awesome and helped us get much closer to the appropriate value of the Cobra. Absolutely worth the price we paid. Highly recommended!

Motorcycle Appraisal for Insurance Claim
No. New York has no personal property tax, no statewide filing office, and no court form dedicated to personal property valuations, so a claim appraisal goes to you and your insurer. That also means the appraisal report itself carries the full evidentiary burden, so it needs to be thorough and well supported.
No. Executive Law Article 6-E licenses and certifies real estate appraisers and binds them to USPAP; it does not reach appraisers of contents, jewelry, art, or equipment. For claim work, USPAP compliance comes from professional standards and the engagement itself, which is the practice we follow.
No. RPTL 1536-a authorizes county appraisal staff to prepare reports and provide expert testimony only on real property, filed with local assessors. Personal property claims, from scheduled jewelry to damaged business equipment, rely on private appraisers.
Yes, one. Debtor and Creditor Law § 24 requires stocks, bonds, and other property customarily traded in open markets, when held by an assignee for the benefit of creditors, to be valued for the appraisal date by ascertaining the market's range and averaging prices over a reasonable period. It is a rare instance of New York prescribing a valuation method by statute, and its market-evidence discipline mirrors how we support contested claim values.
Only in state property-acquisition work. Under 9 NYCRR 440.6, property valued at $300,000 or more requires two appraisals, property below that needs one, and property under $25,000 may use a short-form report. Those rules govern agency acquisitions, not insurance claims, so no dollar amount in New York law forces a second appraisal of your claimed property; policy terms alone control.
