The Appraisal FoundationAuthorized by Congress as the source of appraisal standardsAppraiseItNow provides insurance claim appraisals across Tennessee, delivering independent, USPAP-compliant valuations when policyholders and insurers disagree on the amount of a loss. Tennessee courts have established that appraisal provisions apply to disputes over repair costs, scope of work, and damage valuation, making a credentialed third-party appraisal a critical tool for resolving claims efficiently. Whether your dispute involves storm-damaged equipment, a destroyed vehicle, or a collection of fine art, our appraisers produce documentation that holds up to insurer and legal scrutiny.
AppraiseItNow serves clients throughout Tennessee via both remote and onsite appraisal options, so you can get a qualified valuation regardless of where your assets are located. Our appraisal services in Tennessee cover everything from urban Nashville and Memphis to smaller communities across the state.
We cover the full range of assets commonly involved in Tennessee insurance claim disputes, including:
We work with individual policyholders, small business owners, fleet operators, collectors, and legal professionals across Tennessee who need an independent, defensible valuation to support or resolve an insurance claim dispute.
Tennessee courts have clarified that the appraisal process is distinct from arbitration, limiting appraisers strictly to determining the monetary value of a loss rather than resolving coverage questions. When an insurer acknowledges coverage and makes partial payment, Tennessee courts may compel participation in appraisal if a dispute over the extent of damages remains. Disputes over the scope of repairs needed to restore property to its pre-loss condition are treated as disputes over the amount of loss, giving appraisers meaningful authority over repair methodology and valuation.
Insurance adjusters work for the insurer, not the policyholder. An independent, USPAP-compliant appraisal from AppraiseItNow gives you a credible, third-party valuation that documents the actual cash value or replacement cost of your damaged or destroyed property. This documentation strengthens your position whether you are negotiating directly with your insurer or invoking the formal appraisal provision in your policy.
Getting started is straightforward. You submit your asset details and claim information through our platform, and we match you with a credentialed appraiser who specializes in your asset type. The appraiser conducts a remote or onsite inspection, gathers supporting market data, and delivers a written, USPAP-compliant report you can submit directly to your insurer or legal counsel.
What Tennessee clients say we are known for
Across 17 published Tennessee 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 quickly we answer.
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!

I used AppraiseItNow for the first time last month and I was extremely pleased with the results. I needed an appraisal done for insurance purposes and the level of detail about each of my antique furniture pieces was thorough and very helpful in my being able to get the highest amount possible from my insurance company for the antique items that were damaged. I could see that they spent time making sure that the information she included was correct and current for my antique furniture items in the current market. The team responded to my emails timely to answer any questions I had. I would highly recommend Appraise It Now to get a thorough and professional appraisal done on antique items. I do intend to use them again for other antique furniture and jewelry that I have. Job well done! 😃🤗

Motorcycle Appraisal for Insurance Claim
Because Tennessee values commercial tangible personal property for tax purposes using original cost minus legislated depreciation schedules, with a residual floor of 20 percent of acquisition cost, rather than individualized market appraisals. That statutory formula can land far from actual replacement cost or actual cash value, so reconciling a claim against county records usually takes an independent appraisal.
Yes, as evidence of existence and age. Tennessee businesses must file an annual tangible personal property schedule with the county assessor under Tenn. Code Ann. § 67-5-901 et seq., listing furniture, fixtures, machinery, and equipment with acquisition costs by year. Those filings corroborate what existed before a loss, though they state cost-based figures rather than loss-date market value.
Generally no. Tennessee exempts $7,500 of household goods, furnishings, and apparel in consumer hands from property tax, so typical household contents never appear in county records. Proof of value for a homeowner's or renter's claim therefore rests on the owner's own documentation and appraisal.
No. The licensure and MAI requirements in Tenn. Code Ann. § 29-17-1004 apply to real estate condemnation appraisals. Tennessee imposes no parallel statutory license for appraising jewelry, vehicles, equipment, or other personal property in insurance matters.
