The Appraisal FoundationAuthorized by Congress as the source of appraisal standardsAppraiseItNow provides bankruptcy filing appraisals for individuals and businesses throughout North Carolina, supporting Chapter 7 liquidation proceedings and Chapter 13 repayment plan confirmations. Under the North Carolina Middle District Bankruptcy Court Local Rules, debtors must identify the method of valuation for assets listed in Schedule A/B, and motions for relief from automatic stay require a stated valuation basis and date. Courts may also appoint valuators under NC General Statutes Chapter 1C to examine property in exemption disputes, making credentialed, well-documented appraisals essential.
AppraiseItNow offers both remote and onsite appraisal options, making it straightforward to obtain court-ready valuations anywhere in the state. Our appraisal services in North Carolina cover all major asset classes commonly encountered in bankruptcy proceedings, with reports prepared to withstand trustee and creditor scrutiny.

AppraiseItNow serves individual debtors, bankruptcy attorneys, Chapter 7 trustees, and business owners across North Carolina who need accurate, defensible valuations to satisfy court requirements, support plan confirmation, or resolve creditor disputes over asset values.
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.
Affordable and reliable, with fast service and always responsive to my messages and questions. They delivered my appraisal on time without a glitch. 100% Recommended! I wouldn’t use anyone else for my business. Thank you, Joe — you’re great!
Machinery & Equipment Appraisal for Bankruptcy Filing
Responsive, professional, first class deliverables -- especially considering that that the appraised assets are extremely complex financial assets with little by way of comps. The deliverable satisfied my accountants and advisers as being more than adequate to support the valuation needed to complete a conversion to a Roth IRA
Business Valuation Appraisal for IRA Conversion
I was in dire need of an appraisal for my father's mobile home, which he needed for Medicaid approval. I couldn’t find anyone to do it for a long time, but then I found this company online and decided to give them a try. I’m so glad I did. They were wonderful to work with. I sent the pictures, and within just a few days I received the appraisal. They are absolutely worth the money.
Mobile Home Appraisal
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!
Federal replacement value as of the petition date under 11 U.S.C. 506(a)(2), without deducting costs of sale. For personal, family, or household items, that means the price a retail merchant would charge for goods of the same age and condition, not garage-sale value and not new-item retail.
Official Form 106C, plus local Form 91C in the Middle District for debtors who meet the North Carolina domicile test of 730 days before filing or the alternative lookback. The extra form is district-specific, so requirements differ across North Carolina's federal bankruptcy venues.
Yes. Exemptions under N.C.G.S. 1C-1601(a)(2) through (5) do not apply to tangible personal property bought within 90 days before the petition unless the purchase traces to proceeds of exempt property, a lookback that catches recently acquired vehicles, tools, and jewelry.
No. County appraisals under G.S. 105-317.1 exist for taxation and lean on cost-approach mass appraisal, while bankruptcy schedules use the federal replacement-value standard at the petition date. An independent appraisal aligned to that standard is what trustees and judges act on.
