I was very happy with the work put in on my totaled car appraisal. They did the appraisal quickly and VERY thoroughly. I felt like my insurance company gave a very low appraisal and Appraise It Now was very competitive, realistic and true to my expectations. The best part was they did a stellar job negotiating with my insurance company. I feel great about their work.

I was very pleased with the service from AppraiseItNow. They responded quickly, offered fair pricing and turnaround, and the appraisal was done by a highly qualified expert. I provided details, photos, and records, and the final report was exactly what I needed. Fantastic service. I’d definitely use them again.

Very thorough and professional — great communication and outstanding service. Highly impressed with their work!

AppraiseItNow Inc. is the best company I was lucky to find by accident. I was looking for someone to appraise cabinets for a donation to charity. I asked for multiple referrals, called multiple appraisal services, etc., and no one could help me. I found AppraiseItNow and from the moment I started working with them, they were wonderful! Joe guided me on what I needed to send him, what needed to be done and stayed in touch with me the entire time. Their customer service is OUTSTANDING and a welcome surprise in today’s world where good customer service is an anomaly! They returned an appraisal in a timely manner, it was clear, concise, cost-effective and exactly what I needed. They followed up with me multiple times to ensure that I received it and everything was OK. My CPA is also thrilled to have them as an accredited appraisal service he can use for other clients. I rarely leave reviews, but I could not pass giving them 5 stars and I’d give 10 if possible! THANK YOU JOE AND ALL AT APPRAISEITNOW!!👊🏼

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.

I asked AppraiseItNow to value a piece of sports memorabilia for purposes of a charitable donation. The item is rarely sold. Their research unearthed an important recent sale of a similar item, which I had not found previously, and which the first appraiser I used had not found either. AppraiseItNow was a good deal more expensive than the first service, but they crafted a detailed report in which I have much more confidence. They also helped me make sure the correct tax forms are used. Thank you!

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! 😃🤗

I had items appraised for both my business and personal wardrobe, and the experience was seamless. The appraisal was comprehensive and detailed, the turnaround time was reasonable, and Joe was communicative, quick to respond, and very patient in answering all of my questions. It made the entire process feel effortless, and I will definitely be using their services again in the future!

Joe at AppraiseItNow was extremely helpful with my total loss situation and requirements! I contacted him on Saturday of a holiday weekend (Labor Day 2025) and he responded back promptly! He then provided all the intake requirements to support my RV appraisal for insurance purposes which made the information sharing very simple (completed in 5-minutes). His team took the information and developed a comprehensive, industry standard report for me to provide back to my insurance company to ensure I receive the proper value for my RV. This was reviewed and completed within a few business days! Working with AppraiseItNow was a relief and a reasonable price. If I ever find myself in needing an apprasal again I will be a returning customer! I am definitely referring others in similar situation to me and confirming that AppraiseItNow can be trusted to deliver what they commit to! Thank you again for the support to Joe and the AppraiseItNow team!!!

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!

Frequently Asked
Questions

No Frequently Asked Questions Found.

What is Bankruptcy Filing?

Bankruptcy is a complex legal mechanism designed to provide financial relief to individuals and businesses overwhelmed by unsustainable debt. It offers a structured approach to managing financial obligations when traditional repayment methods have been exhausted. Federal courts oversee this intricate process, which aims to balance the interests of debtors and creditors while offering a potential path to financial recovery.

The bankruptcy process involves filing a comprehensive petition that details an individual's or organization's complete financial landscape, including assets, income, expenses, and outstanding debts. This legal procedure provides temporary protection from creditor collection actions, creating a breathing room for financial restructuring.

Multiple bankruptcy classifications exist, each tailored to specific financial circumstances:

- **Chapter 7 Bankruptcy** involves liquidating non-exempt assets to settle outstanding debts, potentially discharging most unsecured financial obligations.

- **Chapter 13 Bankruptcy** enables individuals with regular income to develop a structured repayment plan, typically spanning three to five years, allowing them to retain assets while systematically addressing their financial challenges.

- **Chapter 11 Bankruptcy** primarily serves businesses, facilitating organizational debt restructuring while maintaining operational continuity.

- **Chapter 12 Bankruptcy** provides specialized support for family farmers and fishermen, offering unique debt management solutions for agricultural and maritime professionals.

While bankruptcy can provide significant financial relief, it carries substantial long-term consequences. A bankruptcy filing can remain on credit reports for up to a decade, potentially impacting future financial opportunities. The process requires careful consideration and typically involves navigating complex legal and financial terrain.

Individuals contemplating bankruptcy should approach the decision with thorough analysis and professional guidance. Consulting with financial experts, understanding potential implications, and exploring alternative debt management strategies are crucial steps in making an informed decision about financial rehabilitation.

Why do I need an appraisal for Bankruptcy Filing?

When navigating bankruptcy, obtaining a professional appraisal becomes a critical step in understanding and documenting your financial landscape. An accurate appraisal serves multiple essential purposes throughout the bankruptcy process, providing clarity, legal compliance, and strategic insights.

Asset valuation during bankruptcy requires precise, unbiased documentation of your financial holdings. A professional appraisal delivers an objective assessment that courts and creditors rely on to determine the total worth of your estate. This valuation influences potential asset liquidation, debt restructuring, and overall legal proceedings.

Legal requirements mandate comprehensive financial disclosure during bankruptcy. A certified appraisal ensures you meet these standards by providing a professional, substantiated account of your asset values. This documentation helps prevent potential complications and demonstrates transparency in your financial situation.

The appraisal process also protects your financial interests by establishing concrete asset values. This precision enables more effective negotiations with creditors, potentially helping you retain important property or secure more favorable debt restructuring terms. The impartial valuation reduces the likelihood of disputes and provides a clear foundation for financial discussions.

Beyond immediate legal needs, an appraisal offers strategic insights for future financial planning. Understanding the precise value of your assets helps inform decision-making during and after bankruptcy. It provides a realistic framework for rebuilding your financial stability, guiding choices about asset management, potential investments, and credit restoration.

Ultimately, a professional appraisal is more than a procedural requirement—it's a strategic tool that brings clarity, compliance, and potential opportunity during a challenging financial transition. By delivering an accurate, comprehensive assessment of your assets, an appraisal empowers you to navigate bankruptcy with greater confidence and strategic understanding.
