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!

Extremely communicative, didn’t have to jump through hoops, loved their system and how easy it was to give them all the information. Highly recommend going with these guys, shout out to Joe too for being awesome to work with!

Fantastic Experience with AppraiseItNow Inc.! I couldn’t be happier with the service I received from AppraiseItNow Inc. They were professional, timely, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. Joe, in particular, was an absolute delight to work with—knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive to every detail. I highly recommend AppraiseItNow Inc. to anyone in need of appraisal services. Five stars all the way!

Responsive, professional, first class deliverables -- especially considering that that the appraised assets are extremely complex financial assets with little by way of comps. The deliverable satisfied my accountants and advisers as being more than adequate to support the valuation needed to complete a conversion to a Roth IRA

Exceptional customer service and fast turnaround on my request for an insurance appraisal. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail strengthened my position in an ongoing insurance claim. Incredibly easy to work with—courteous, efficient, and clear in their communication throughout the process. Highly recommend them to anyone needing accurate, independent appraisals for insurance or personal purposes.

I’d have given them 10 stars if it were possible. After weeks of frustration awaiting four different appraisers to return my calls I stumbled across AppraiseItNow. They were quick to reply, incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, professional and managed to make it fairly simple. I highly recommend them!

By far the best of the best when it comes to an appraisal company. Truly professional owner who provides a detailed appraisal in an efficient and better than expected delivery time. A must GO TO Company. Would recommend to anyone.

AppraiseItNow appraised my non-cash donation and exceeded my expectations in every way! They were extremely prompt, incredibly friendly, and remarkably affordable.

I was looking for an appraisal and time was of the essence. They got the job done in only a few days with excellent customer service. Great business to work with.

Wow! Great experience on obtaining 8283 document and formal appraisal. Received feedback within 1 week with comps that were relevant. Communication on email and text was 100% timely. Will use this service again!

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!

It is with great pleasure that I give the highest score for their work. I needed antique book appraisals for my beloved but sadly departed wife's antique book collection she wanted to donate to the Remnant Trust. It was a true pleasure to work with this group.

Joe and his team were very professional, fast and thorough. Highly recommend

So easy to work with! They were quick, fair on price, and super helpful through the process. Definitely recommend!

They appraised an older trailer for me that required a bonded title. They were great with communication and it only took about 2 weeks to get a very nice detailed appraisal report, which finding comps for older trailers is not straight forward. Highly recommend!

The short time working with AppraiseItNow was great, Fast on getting on top of any questions you might have any appraisal concerning insurance claim. I will go with these guys again!

Excellent experience with Joe! The service was prompt, professional, and exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend.

I read all the prior reviews and decided on AppraiseItNow to do an IRS qualified online appraisal of my RV trailer. Joe was very responsive via both text and email. The appraiser was quick, professional, convenient and very thorough. After I provided them the RV details, facts, pictures, and the information they needed, they provided a fair and accurate appraisal. I will definitely use them again as needed.

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!

They did an appraisal of medical equipment for donation. They did it quickly, and I received a blank form 8283 signed by the appraiser. It was what I needed. The price was higher than I wanted to spend on an appraisal, but a lot lower than other appraisers. AppraiseItNow was very responsive and communicative, and the other appraisers were not. I would use them again.

I found them professional & responsive. The report was quite thorough as well.

Very straightforward and efficient way to gain a quality certified boat appraisal. I will suggest AppraiseItNow to all my boating friends!

Joe made the process to have my piece of furniture appraised extremely easy, efficient and quick. My experience was great and I'd recommend AppraiseItNow to anyone looking for an appraisal.

We were very satisfied with the results - fast and efficient communication, understanding our company's needs, on-time delivery of the report, as well as reasonable price point. Highly recommend.

Joe is very helpful and professional! I have searched for appraisers before and it’s hard to find someone who can manage complex projects! The items I donated covers many skus and Joe has managed to help me valuate them quickly and accurately! The team provided me with all necessary documents too so I can submit with my tax return. Joe is there to answer all my questions as well. Very pleasant experience with him and highly recommend!

AppraiseItNow was timely and thorough. Their communication was excellent and they were really easy to work with. I received a text and email immediately upon completing the inquiry form and was able to get them all the info they needed within an hour to get the ball rolling. The cost was absolutely reasonable for what we saved by having this done. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for an online appraisal!

Great experience. Joe was super helpful. Got my appraisal in just a couple days and it was very detailed. Will definitely be using this company again!

I recently used AppraiseItNow for a valuation of a 2001 Corvette needed for 2024 Gift Tax purposes. It was straightforward and relatively simple even for someone not too tech savvy like me!

From the start they were very responsive, price competitive, and had a quick turn around time. Thank you so much to Joe who was very sweet in responding to my emails; I am looking forward to utilizing AppraiseItNow for many years to come.

Had a great experience working with AppraiseItNow for a potential loan our company was working on. I was very appreciative of the time they took to prepare the appraisal, plus the extra effort to advise us and explain the appraisal findings.

I run small non-profit.... we receive an eclectic assortment of materials, tools and similar equipment. Finding appraisers in Kentucky has been challenging, and I'm glad I found AppraiseItNow. They were responsive to questions, the process was simple, and they produced a report in a timely manner - I will use AppraiseItNow again in the future!

Fast and friendly service. I will definitely use their services again!

I contacted AppraiseItNow on a weekend asking for an expedited appraisal needed the following Tuesday, sent pictures as requested and answered a few questions for their team. Not only did the appraisal arrive on Tuesday, Joe waived the expedited fee! I would definitely recommend his services.

I needed to have a car appraised, AppraiseItNow got it done quickly and was super responsive about my questions. Whole thing was done online, very easy!

I highly recommend the AppraiseItNow team. They were responsive and timely from start to finish, and the whole process was seamless. The final report was super detailed and gave me all the information I needed. I am so glad I hired them and would recommend them to anyone needing an appraisal!

AppraiseItNow helped us appraise a very unique set of propulsion boats. Service was top notch and provided incredible value for the cost!

After researching several companies, I contacted AppraiseItNow for a personal medical equipment appraisal - they responded to me within a day and were both professional and patient throughout the process!

I recently requested a retroactive appraisal for fine art from AppraiseItNow. I received excellent service from intake to delivery. The appraisal was delivered on time and the content of the appraisal absolutely met my expectations!

AppraiseItNow was amazing! My father passed with a large volume of artwork & I had no idea what it was worth. Their team was incredibly helpful and quick to respond with text and/or email to any questions as well as a status update along the way. Highly recommend!

I had the pleasure of working with AppraiseItNow under its new leadership, and the experience was exceptional!

What is a File Cabinets appraisal?

A file cabinets appraisal is a comprehensive evaluation that determines the current market value of these essential office storage solutions. This specialized process involves a meticulous examination of multiple factors that collectively influence the cabinet's worth. Professional appraisers conduct an in-depth analysis that goes beyond simple visual assessment, delving into the nuanced characteristics that define a file cabinet's true value.

The appraisal process carefully considers five critical elements: condition, material composition, design and style, functional features, and current market demand. These aspects work together to create a holistic understanding of the file cabinet's overall value. Appraisers meticulously inspect physical condition, looking for signs of wear, damage, or unique modifications that might impact pricing. The cabinet's material – whether steel, wood, or plastic – plays a significant role in determining its worth, with each material bringing distinct qualities to the evaluation.

Design and style emerge as important considerations, particularly for vintage or specialized pieces. Contemporary office furniture trends, historical significance, and aesthetic appeal all contribute to the cabinet's market value. Functional features such as specialized locking mechanisms, unique drawer configurations, and innovative organizational components can substantially increase a file cabinet's desirability and worth.

Market dynamics represent another crucial aspect of the appraisal process. Professionals analyze current economic conditions, office furniture trends, and broader workplace environment shifts to provide an accurate and contextual valuation. This approach ensures that the appraisal reflects not just the physical attributes of the file cabinet, but its broader market positioning.

Ultimately, a file cabinets appraisal serves multiple purposes, from estate settlements and insurance claims to asset management and potential resale. It provides a professional, objective assessment that helps individuals and businesses understand the true value of their office storage solutions with precision and expertise.

What are the different types of File Cabinets appraisals?

File cabinet appraisers represent a nuanced professional ecosystem with specialized expertise tailored to unique assessment requirements. These professionals bring distinct perspectives and methodological approaches depending on the specific context and characteristics of the file cabinet being evaluated.

Antique appraisers focus on historically significant pieces, meticulously examining craftsmanship, provenance, and rarity. Their evaluations consider intricate design elements and historical context that elevate a file cabinet beyond mere functional furniture.

Furniture appraisers offer comprehensive assessments across residential and commercial environments. Their expertise encompasses construction quality, material composition, design trends, and comparative market analysis to determine precise valuation.

Office equipment appraisers bring technical understanding of functional value, particularly for corporate settings. They analyze depreciation, practical utility, and market demand within professional infrastructure contexts.

Specialized vintage furniture appraisers concentrate on era-specific design movements, identifying iconic brands and distinctive aesthetic characteristics that resonate with collectors. Their insights capture nuanced value beyond standard market metrics.

Commercial appraisers provide strategic evaluations for business asset management, focusing on comprehensive financial considerations like replacement costs, depreciation schedules, and potential liquidation values.

Online marketplace appraisers represent an emerging category, leveraging digital commerce trends to assess file cabinet values. Their methodology integrates platform-specific dynamics, shipping considerations, and real-time market demand indicators.

Each appraiser type contributes unique analytical perspectives, ensuring comprehensive and contextually appropriate valuation across diverse file cabinet categories.

Why get a File Cabinets appraisal?

File cabinets, often overlooked as mundane office equipment, can hold significant financial and practical importance across various scenarios. Professional appraisals serve critical functions in insurance, estate planning, tax documentation, and business asset management.

Insurance coverage represents a primary motivation for obtaining a file cabinet appraisal. When cabinets store valuable documents or sensitive materials, an accurate valuation ensures comprehensive protection against potential loss, theft, or damage. Documented assessments provide clear evidence of worth, enabling precise insurance claims and policy determinations.

Estate planning emerges as another crucial context where file cabinet appraisals prove instrumental. For individuals and businesses maintaining extensive document collections, understanding the comprehensive value of storage infrastructure supports equitable asset distribution and inheritance planning. Precise valuations help executors and beneficiaries navigate complex financial transitions.

Tax considerations also underscore the importance of professional appraisals. Donations involving file cabinets or their contents may qualify for significant tax deductions, particularly when total value exceeds specific thresholds. Formal documentation substantiates claimed values and ensures compliance with regulatory requirements.

Business transitions represent another scenario where file cabinet appraisals deliver substantial value. Organizations undergoing restructuring, downsizing, or asset liquidation rely on accurate valuations to make informed financial decisions. Comprehensive assessments support strategic planning and maximize potential returns during organizational changes.

Beyond financial implications, appraisals promote transparency and accountability. They provide a structured approach to understanding asset value, supporting internal audits, regulatory compliance, and strategic decision-making processes across various professional environments.

Can a File Cabinets appraisal be done online?

Online file cabinet appraisals have become increasingly accessible and efficient in the digital era. The process typically involves submitting comprehensive documentation about your file cabinets through digital channels. Professional appraisers can accurately assess value by reviewing detailed photographs, specifications, and contextual information.

To initiate an online appraisal, you'll need to provide precise details such as dimensions, manufacturer, model number, age, current condition, and any distinctive characteristics that might impact valuation. These materials can be transmitted electronically via email or secure file sharing platforms.

Many appraisers now offer virtual consultation options through video conferencing platforms like Zoom, Google Meet, or FaceTime. These interactive sessions enable real-time communication, allowing appraisers to request additional images or clarify specific details about the file cabinets.

The primary advantages of online appraisals include flexibility, time efficiency, and convenience. Clients can schedule assessments around their personal and professional commitments without requiring in-person visits. This approach is particularly beneficial for individuals with complex schedules or file cabinets located in challenging-to-access spaces.

When selecting an online appraisal service, prioritize professionals who demonstrate expertise in furniture and office equipment valuation. Ensure the appraiser follows established professional standards and can provide a comprehensive, credible assessment of your file cabinets.
