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.
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
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
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
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 York levies no personal property tax, so there are no annual renditions of business equipment or household contents to any assessor. An insurance appraisal is therefore a private document between you, your insurer, and your records, and often the only formal valuation your property ever receives.
National ones. New York's Executive Law Article 6-E licenses real estate appraisers only, so personal property appraisers work under USPAP and The Appraisal Foundation's personal property criteria, which call for appraisal-specific education and hundreds of hours of USPAP-compliant experience.
Because the state's Real Property Tax Law defines many pieces of equipment and trade fixtures as real property even though other states would treat them as personal property. Classification matters when scheduling business contents for coverage, since it determines which policy and valuation approach applies to a given asset.
No. The approved-appraiser lists courts maintain in estate matters cover real property valued as of the date of death. Personal property appraisals for jewelry, art, and household contents are handled as part of the executor's broader administration and reach tax authorities through estate tax returns rather than a court roster. For coverage work, that means an appraiser's methodology and documentation, not a court listing, is what your insurer will weigh.
