The Appraisal FoundationAuthorized by Congress as the source of appraisal standardsAppraiseItNow provides damage claim appraisal services for individuals and businesses throughout North Carolina, delivering objective, USPAP-compliant valuations that document actual cash value and diminution in value following a loss event. North Carolina's appraisal clause under G.S. 20-279.21 allows policyholders to invoke an independent appraisal process when disputes over diminished value exceed $2,000 or 25% of a vehicle's pre-accident fair market value, making credentialed appraisals especially important for auto and property claims. For federal casualty loss deductions reported on IRS Form 4684, appraisals must establish fair market value immediately before and after the loss.
Both remote and onsite appraisal options are available through our network of appraisers in North Carolina, ensuring convenient access whether your assets are located in Charlotte, Raleigh, Wilmington, or anywhere else in the state. Clients can submit documentation online for a fast turnaround or schedule an onsite inspection for complex or high-value damage situations.
AppraiseItNow covers all major asset classes commonly involved in North Carolina damage claim situations, including:
AppraiseItNow serves vehicle owners, homeowners, business operators, and collectors across North Carolina who need independent appraisals to support insurance settlements, dispute resolution under policy appraisal clauses, or federal casualty loss deductions. Manufacturers, retailers, marine businesses, and fleet operators in the state's diverse economy also rely on our appraisals when equipment, inventory, or specialty assets sustain damage.
What North Carolina clients say we are known for
Across 17 published North Carolina 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.
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!
Car Appraisal for Insurance Claim
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
AppraiseItNow did an outstanding job appraising my 1998 Bobcat Skid Steer and circa 2010 Yuchai Crawler Dozer. We could not locate a serial number on the dozer, and there were no online sales available, but they were still able to develop an accurate appraisal using known specifications for my dozer compared to other comparable make and model dozers. They diligently researched both equipment items and provided well-documented reports.
Machinery & Equipment Appraisal
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.
Three years under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 1-52. The clock starts when the damage becomes apparent or reasonably should have become apparent, not necessarily on the date of the incident. A dated appraisal establishes both the loss amount and when the damage was documented.
Its fair market value immediately before the crash. Other damaged personal property in North Carolina is generally measured by the cost to repair or replace it; there is no separate statutory formula for art, jewelry, or other unique items, which makes documented comparable-sales evidence the backbone of those claims.
No. North Carolina statute (Chapter 1, Article 44) provides that settling a motor vehicle property damage claim, whether by an individual, self-insurer, or insurance carrier, is not an admission of liability in any related civil action. Property damage and injury claims can also be pursued separately.
Yes. North Carolina's statute of repose bars product-defect claims for property damage more than 12 years after the product's initial purchase for use or consumption, under G.S. 1-50(a)(6). That outer limit applies even when the standard three-year window would otherwise allow a later filing.
