5-Star Valuation Services, Loved by Hundreds

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 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.

The estate appraisal for our car and rugs was handled quickly and efficiently. The process was smooth and hassle-free.

We had an excellent experience working with AppraiseItNow. From start to finish, their team was professional, responsive, and incredibly thorough. They took the time to understand our specific needs and delivered a detailed and accurate appraisal that was well organized and easy to understand. Communication was clear and timely throughout the entire process. They were always available to answer our questions and provided thoughtful explanations whenever we needed more clarity. Their attention to detail and strong market knowledge gave us complete confidence in the final report. It’s clear that they take pride in their work and genuinely care about providing high-quality service. We would absolutely recommend AppraiseItNow to any business or property owner looking for a reliable and professional appraisal company. Five stars all the way.

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!!👊🏼

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!

Our appraisers stay current on both federal guidelines and Arizona legal considerations that may affect your report.

Do you prepare appraisals for IRS Form 8283 (Noncash Charitable Contributions)?

Yes, we prepare qualified appraisals that support IRS Form 8283 for firearm donations. If your donated firearm is valued above $5,000, IRS rules require a qualified appraisal completed by a credentialed professional, and our reports meet that standard.

What information do you need to get started?

To begin your appraisal, we typically need clear photographs of the firearm, the make, model, caliber, and serial number, along with any documentation such as original receipts, provenance records, or prior appraisals. The more detail you provide, the more accurate and thorough your report will be.

Having a credentialed appraisal on record helps prevent disputes and satisfies court and IRS requirements.

Is a gun appraisal required for divorce proceedings in Arizona?

Arizona is a community property state, meaning firearms acquired during a marriage are generally considered shared assets subject to division. A professional appraisal establishes a defensible Fair Market Value that attorneys, mediators, and courts can rely on during the division process.
