The Appraisal FoundationAuthorized by Congress as the source of appraisal standardsAppraiseItNow provides insurance coverage appraisals for individuals and businesses throughout South Carolina, establishing accurate insurable values for personal property, equipment, fine art, watercraft, and vehicles. South Carolina's coastal geography makes hurricane and storm damage a recurring reality, and having documented, USPAP-compliant appraisals in place before a loss is critical to avoiding coverage disputes. Insurers and courts in South Carolina have consistently upheld the importance of independent, impartial valuations when policy limits or claim amounts are contested.
Both remote and onsite appraisal options are available through appraisal services in South Carolina, so clients from Charleston to Greenville to Myrtle Beach can access professional valuations on their schedule. Our appraisers deliver photo-documented reports that meet insurer requirements for scheduled riders and standalone coverage policies.
AppraiseItNow covers the full range of assets commonly requiring documented insurable value for coverage purposes in South Carolina:
AppraiseItNow serves homeowners, collectors, boat owners, small business operators, and fleet managers across South Carolina who need accurate insurable values to protect their assets. We also work with insurance agents, brokers, and risk managers who require third-party documentation to support policy underwriting and scheduled coverage riders.
What South Carolina clients say we are known for
Across 18 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 much research is visible in the report, and how fast the finished report arrived.
The appraisal was done very well. Since he was a local artist here in Charleston, SC, they took the time to study and review Jim Booth’s art. His work has made him extremely famous, which can make an appraisal challenging, but they did a superb job and clearly explained how they arrived at the appraisal value. I highly recommend Appraise It Now and will use them again for all my artwork.
Artwork Appraisal for Insurance Coverage
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
AppraiseItNow's service was expeditious and professional. The report was thorough with plenty of examples and rationale for the valuations. Good service comes at a cost, but for me it was well worth it. Highly recommended!
Personal Property Appraisal for Insurance Coverage
We recently used AppraiseItNow for one of our clients and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The customer service was excellent, and Joe was quick to respond to all of our questions. He provided everything we needed promptly and made the process smooth from start to finish. Thank you!

Furniture Appraisal for Insurance Coverage
"Actual value." The South Carolina Constitution values personal property on that basis, a standard formally distinct from the "true value in money" language applied to real estate. In practice it keeps personal property coverage and tax questions anchored to what the item is genuinely worth rather than a book formula.
Generally no. Household goods are exempt from South Carolina property taxation, while motor vehicles, boats, aircraft, and business personal property remain taxable. That means no official record of your contents' value exists unless you create one, which is exactly what a coverage appraisal does.
County auditors must use assessment guides furnished by the Department of Revenue, and vehicle values must come from a nationally recognized valuation publication under Regulation 117-1840 and § 12-37-930. An independent appraisal matters when a specific vehicle's condition or equipment diverges from the published figure.
Annually between January 1 and March 1, by sworn statement to the county assessor under § 12-37-900. Idle manufacturing property gets special timing relief, but for most owners that window is when documented values need to be in order.
