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.
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
Joe and Aron were extremely impressive - the entire process went very smoothly. They were always quick to respond to any questions I had and could not have been more helpful. They were aware of some tight time restrictions I had and made sure I received my reports in a timely fashion. I highly recommend them to anyone needing a valuation.

Popular uses of our appraisal reports include:
An explicit standard of value, premise of value, effective date, and description of the interest being valued, plus a reconciliation of the income, market, and asset-based approaches with sources disclosed. Professional standards require enough documentation that a reader could in principle retrace the analysis.
Only as reasonableness checks. NACVA's standards say rules of thumb should never stand alone because they ignore earnings quality, growth prospects, asset mix, and risk. A multiple from a trade article will not hold up with the IRS, a court, or a serious buyer.
Because Oregon's estate tax starts at a $1 million taxable estate with rates of about 10% to 16%, while most states have no estate tax at all. A closely held business interest often determines whether an Oregon estate crosses that threshold, so its fair market value needs credible support.
Typically near trial or settlement. Oregon courts divide property under equitable distribution and usually adopt a valuation date close to the end of the case, though judges may select another date when fairness requires. For a business whose earnings moved during the proceedings, which date applies can change the outcome, so we confirm it with counsel before starting.
