What Tennessee clients say we are known for
Across 8 published Tennessee appraisal reviews, every one from a client who paid AppraiseItNow for an appraisal, the three things they raise most often are how quickly we answer, that they would hire us again, and how fast the finished report arrived.

Technology Equipment Appraisal for Divorce
My mother passed away in August 2023 and unfortunately, in the state of Ohio, motorhomes are not transferable on death and was going to have to go through probate court. After speaking with an attorney, I was informed I needed an appraisal. Due to my hectic work schedule and family schedule, I was looking for someone who could do this online, without needing an appointment. After a quick Google search I came across Joe at AppraiseItNow Inc., and instantly felt relief. A quick inquiry led to a few emails back and forth, a very reasonable cost to have the motorhome appraised and all the information needed to submit to get this taken care of. Joe was patient, worked with me as it was going to take a few weeks before I was able to supply the needed images/documents and payment, and less than a week later of submitting it I received the appraisal. His communication is next to none! He responds very quickly, is kind and extremely helpful. If I need anything in the future, I will not hesitate to reach out again! Thank you again! I will forever be in your debt!

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.

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.

No. Tennessee spouses typically file a sworn inventory and appraisement listing assets and values, and those values may rest on the spouse's own opinion of fair market value rather than an independent appraisal. Tenn. Code Ann. § 36-4-121 governs equitable division without mandating licensed appraisers, so courts accept a range of valuation evidence. We are usually engaged when spouses disagree on value and a sworn number needs defensible support.
Tennessee is a dual property state, so the court must label each asset marital or separate before valuing or dividing anything. Marital property covers tangible and intangible personal property acquired during the marriage, while separate property, such as premarital jewelry or individually inherited collectibles, may be excluded from valuation entirely.
No. Tennessee law does not require an equal division. Judges weigh the factors in Tenn. Code Ann. § 36-4-121(c), including each spouse's earning capacity and financial needs, to reach a fair overall result. Personal property valuations feed that judgment rather than a mechanical dollar-for-dollar equalization.
The appreciation can become marital property if the other spouse made a substantial contribution to it. This doctrine matters most for closely held business interests and investment assets, where Tennessee courts may require expert valuation of the appreciation and apportion it between the marital and separate estates.
