The Appraisal FoundationAuthorized by Congress as the source of appraisal standardsAppraiseItNow provides certified bankruptcy filing appraisals for debtors, trustees, and attorneys throughout Rhode Island, covering asset valuation for Chapter 7 liquidation and Chapter 13 reorganization proceedings. Rhode Island's U.S. Bankruptcy Court requires debtors to file detailed asset schedules, and creditors or trustees may challenge exemptions, making accurate, court-ready valuations essential. All appraisals comply with USPAP standards and Rhode Island's appraiser licensing requirements under R.I. Gen. Laws Chapter 5-20.7.
AppraiseItNow serves clients through both remote and onsite appraisal options, accommodating assets wherever they are located across the state. Our appraisal services in Rhode Island are available statewide, from Providence and Warwick to Newport and Pawtucket.
We cover the full range of personal and business assets commonly listed in Rhode Island bankruptcy schedules, including:
We work with individual debtors, bankruptcy attorneys, Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 trustees, and creditors across Rhode Island who need accurate, defensible asset valuations to support court filings, exemption claims, and repayment plan negotiations.
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!
Yes. Rhode Island filers may elect either the federal scheme or the state exemptions, and the state route carries a bankruptcy-only bonus: R.I. Gen. Laws § 9-26-4(16) adds an extra $6,500 wildcard usable against any assets. Accurate values are what make that choice an informed one.
Under § 9-26-4: household furniture, clothing, and family stores up to $9,600, working tools of the trade up to $2,000, and family books up to $300, plus the $6,500 bankruptcy wildcard. National summaries citing a $12,000 vehicle exemption are not drawn from the statute itself, which is why we value against the codified caps.
Replacement value as of the filing date: the price a retail merchant would charge for property of the same kind, age, and condition. For liened personal property, no deduction is taken for selling or marketing costs, so thrift-sale or auction figures understate what the schedules require.
In a single courthouse: the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Rhode Island at 380 Westminster Street in Providence. One district and one set of local practices means exemption and valuation questions get relatively consistent treatment across every Rhode Island case.
