The Appraisal FoundationAuthorized by Congress as the source of appraisal standardsAppraiseItNow provides professional equipment and machinery appraisals across South Carolina for a wide range of purposes, including charitable donations, asset-based lending, mergers and acquisitions, and financial reporting. South Carolina's robust manufacturing base, spanning automotive production in the Upstate, aerospace and defense in Charleston, and forest products and agribusiness throughout the state's rural counties, creates consistent demand for accurate, defensible equipment valuations. Our credentialed appraisers deliver USPAP-compliant reports that satisfy lender requirements, IRS standards, and GAAP financial reporting obligations.
Our equipment and machinery appraisal services are available both remotely and onsite throughout South Carolina, allowing us to serve clients in major urban centers like Greenville, Columbia, and Charleston as well as businesses and individuals in smaller communities across the Lowcountry, Pee Dee, and Upstate regions. We offer Fair Market Value (FMV), Orderly Liquidation Value (OLV), Forced Liquidation Value (FLV), and Replacement Value appraisals for various intended uses.
AppraiseItNow appraises a broad range of industrial, commercial, and specialized equipment throughout South Carolina, including:
South Carolina's industry-specific depreciation schedules under Code Section 12-37-930 make accurate equipment valuation especially important for tax compliance and financial planning. Our appraisers are experienced with the valuation nuances affecting specialized assets such as custom molds, dies, and high-tech manufacturing equipment that may qualify for enhanced depreciation allowances under state law.
AppraiseItNow serves a diverse client base across South Carolina, including business owners, lenders, attorneys, CPAs, nonprofit organizations, and corporate finance teams who require credentialed, USPAP-compliant equipment appraisals for lending, M&A transactions, charitable donations, litigation support, and financial reporting purposes.
What South Carolina clients say we are known for
Across 16 published South Carolina appraisal reviews, every one from a client who paid AppraiseItNow for an appraisal, 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.
I recommend AppraiseItNow Inc. highly. I needed an appraisal of fair market value for geologic laboratory equipment for charitable donations to three universities. The unique items and limited secondary market complicated the valuation. They provided a sound, verifiable estimate and the 8283 forms that I was able to use in my tax filings. I would use them again.
Lab Equipment Appraisal for Charitable Donation
AppraiseItNow did an outstanding job appraising my 1998 Bobcat Skid Steer and circa 2010 Yuchai Crawler Dozer. We could not locate a serial number on the dozer, and there were no online sales available, but they were still able to develop an accurate appraisal using known specifications for my dozer compared to other comparable make and model dozers. They diligently researched both equipment items and provided well-documented reports.
Machinery & Equipment Appraisal
I highly recommend the AppraiseItNow team. They were responsive and timely from start to finish, and the whole process was seamless. The final report was super detailed and gave me all the information I needed. I am so glad I hired them and would recommend them to anyone needing an appraisal!
Technology Equipment Appraisal for Divorce
I needed an IRS-qualified appraisal for an unusual and costly piece of medical equipment. AppraiseItNow was able to provide me exactly what I needed on a timely basis. The personnel at the company are very friendly and helpful. I would definitely use them again.
Medical Equipment Appraisal for Charitable Donation
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
They did an appraisal of medical equipment for donation. They did it quickly, and I received a blank form 8283 signed by the appraiser. It was what I needed. The price was higher than I wanted to spend on an appraisal, but a lot lower than other appraisers. AppraiseItNow was very responsive and communicative, and the other appraisers were not. I would use them again.
Medical Equipment 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:
An asset list with make, model, serial number, year, capacity, and configuration, plus purchase dates and costs, maintenance history, and current condition notes. These details drive the adjustments in both the cost and market approaches, and missing serial numbers or unknown hours weaken the support behind the concluded values.
Yes, materially. Fair market value, orderly liquidation value, and forced liquidation value assume different exposure times and sale conditions, and the same machinery can carry very different figures under each. A South Carolina lender underwriting distressed collateral needs a different premise than an owner pricing a going-concern sale, so we confirm the intended use before selecting one.
Because age alone rarely explains lost value. We deduct physical deterioration, functional obsolescence from outdated technology or capacity mismatches, and economic obsolescence from external market conditions as distinct components. A machine that runs perfectly can still have lost significant value to newer technology, and a simple age-based schedule misses that.
The Department of Revenue. It values business personal property statewide, while county auditors handle vehicles, watercraft, and aircraft, and both apply the constitutional true value in money standard, a market measure. An independent appraisal serves what those offices do not: sales, financing, insurance disputes, estates, and litigation over specific machines.
