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
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
Extremely communicative, didn’t have to jump through hoops, loved their system and how easy it was to give them all the information. Highly recommend going with these guys, shout out to Joe too for being awesome to work with!
Trailer Appraisal for Personal Use
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 specialized commercial guides such as the NADA Commercial Truck Appraisal Guide and Truck Blue Book, then test that baseline against current TruckPaper listings and recent auction results for the same year, make, model, and spec. Mileage, engine and transmission, emissions equipment, and documented maintenance drive the adjustments, and the report reconciles those indications into one value.
Usually not. Consumer guides like Kelley Blue Book cover light-duty pickups well but have limited coverage of Class 7 and 8 trucks and vocational units, so relying on them can materially misstate value. Commercial buyers and appraisers use dedicated truck guides and marketplace data instead, which is what we cite in South Carolina truck reports.
County auditors value motor vehicles, watercraft, and aircraft for property tax, while the Department of Revenue values business personal property, and state law requires valuation at true value in money, a market standard. An independent appraisal serves the purposes those offices do not, such as a sale, an insurance dispute, an estate, or litigation over a specific truck.
Often with rough benchmarks first: published rules of thumb run $25,000 to $60,000 per power unit depending on age, spec, and mileage, with equipment at 70 to 90 percent of book value. Those are screening numbers, not appraisals. An asset-level analysis using current auction and dealer comparables routinely moves individual trucks well off the benchmark figure.
