The Appraisal FoundationAuthorized by Congress as the source of appraisal standardsA loan collateral appraisal is an independent, written valuation of property pledged as security for a loan. Lenders require these appraisals to confirm that collateral adequately supports the loan amount, and regulatory thresholds, such as the SBA 7(a) requirement for independent appraisals when financed amounts exceed $250,000, make compliant documentation essential. Depending on the lender and transaction, appraisers may determine fair market value, orderly liquidation value, or forced liquidation value to reflect what a lender could realistically recover if the borrower defaults.
AppraiseItNow delivers loan collateral appraisals online and onsite across the United States, covering personal property, equipment and machinery, business interests, boats, automobiles, and inventory. Our appraisers are independent, carry no financial interest in the transaction, and provide the certification of independence that banking regulators require. Our mission is to deliver defensible, USPAP-compliant valuations with exceptional speed, professionalism, and client service.
AppraiseItNow covers every major asset class that lenders commonly accept as collateral, including:
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.
Had a great experience working with AppraiseItNow for a potential loan our company was working on. I was very appreciative of the time they took to prepare the appraisal, plus the extra effort to advise us and explain the appraisal findings.

AppraiseItNow helped us appraise a very unique set of propulsion boats. Service was top notch and provided incredible value for the cost!
Boat Appraisal for Loan Collateral
Very straightforward and efficient way to gain a quality certified boat appraisal. I will suggest AppraiseItNow to all my boating friends!
Boat Appraisal for Loan Collateral
Everyone I interacted with was kind, and they promptly complied with my urgent request.
Recreational Vehicle Appraisal for Loan Collateral
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
Excellent service! We received a truck appraisal for a title bond quickly and efficiently. Most importantly, the team was always available to answer our questions. I highly recommend AppraiseItNow Inc.
Auto Appraisal for Title Bond
AppraiseItNow offers online appraisals and onsite appraisals in all 50 states.
Yes. If new money is being advanced on an existing loan and there have been material changes in market conditions or the physical condition of the collateral, a new appraisal is required to confirm the asset still adequately secures the loan.
In some cases, yes. An existing appraisal may be reused for secondary market transactions if the original report met applicable standards at the time of origination. For new lending decisions, however, lenders generally need a current appraisal that reflects present market conditions.
A compliant report must include a written market value opinion that addresses highest and best use, current market conditions, the asset's physical condition, income capacity where relevant, and any applicable discounts for specialization or environmental liabilities. AppraiseItNow appraisals are structured to satisfy these requirements for lender underwriting and regulatory documentation.
Lenders are generally required to provide applicants with copies of all appraisals and written valuations used in a credit decision. Under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, delivery is typically required within three business days of a decision or closing.
