What Oregon clients say we are known for
Across 22 published Oregon appraisal reviews, every one from a client who paid AppraiseItNow for an appraisal, the three things they raise most often are how quickly we answer, how much research is visible in the report, and that they would hire us again.
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
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
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
They appraised an older trailer for me that required a bonded title. They were great with communication and it only took about 2 weeks to get a very nice detailed appraisal report, which finding comps for older trailers is not straight forward. Highly recommend!
Trailer Appraisal for Title Bond
Friendly, speedy service with fair value.
Auto Appraisal for Probate
We were amazed at their professionalism in working with us and the quality of the final appraisal report. And all for thousands less than other appraisers.
Tractor Appraisal for Charitable Donation
Given the USPAP-compliant nature of AppraiseItNow’s appraisal reports, we prepare our deliverables for major legal, tax, and financial reporting purposes for individual and commercial clients.
Popular uses of our appraisal reports include:
We start from a truck valuation guide baseline, compare current listings for the same year, make, model, and spec, and confirm against recent auction results, then adjust for mileage, engine and transmission, emissions equipment, maintenance history, and regional demand. No single source is treated as the answer.
VIN-verified identity, engine and transmission specifications, axle configuration, mileage, emissions equipment, and documented maintenance records, along with inspection findings like tire wear and mechanical condition. Substantiated component replacements, such as an engine rebuild, can support meaningful upward adjustments.
Its date-of-death fair market value counts toward Oregon's estate tax, which applies above a $1 million threshold at rates of roughly 10% to 16%. Because a single tractor or small fleet can represent a large share of that threshold, Oregon estates with trucks frequently need documented appraisals even when no federal filing is due.
The transfer date: fair market value as of the date of death for estates reported on Form 706, or the date of gift for Form 709. The appraisal must be retrospective to that date and the exact legal interest transferred; quoting today’s asking prices for a death months earlier is one of the most common defects in submitted valuations.
