We'll Buy Your Appraisal Business!
About AppraiseItNow
AppraiseItNow is building the modern national platform for valuation and appraisal services. We combine centralized operations, technology, and a network of specialized appraisers to deliver compliant, high-quality valuation services across personal, commercial, and specialty asset classes.
We acquire appraisal practices with consistent inbound demand and respected market presence. We are not acquiring to add production labor. We are primarily acquiring demand channels and category presence that can scale through our unified operating system.
If you are considering a transition or planning ahead, we welcome a confidential conversation.
Ideal Firm Profile
We seek firms with:
- A reliable, recurring flow of inbound appraisal requests
- Demand driven by referrals, repeat clients, digital visibility, professional partners, online website presence, or industry specialization
- Strong professional reputation and USPAP-compliant work
- A strong online / desktop appraisal business (important, but not required)
We are not interested in:
- Walk-in, hyper-local shops
- Firms built primarily on the owner's personal reputation or outbound efforts
- Real estate appraisal firms unless they operate with national coverage and scalable channel distribution
