What Utah clients say we are known for
Across 23 published Utah 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, how much research is visible in the report, and that they would hire us again.
AppraiseItNow was fabulous. While they weren’t able to negotiate a higher payout from the insurance company for my totaled car, they fully honored their guarantee and had the money back in my account within days. It’s rare to see a company truly stand behind its product and guarantee. Well done, AppraiseItNow team!
Auto Appraisal for Insurance Claim
My wife and I purchased a property that included a double-wide mobile home, which we decided to donate to a local charitable organization that provides housing for low-income families. This type of donation required a formal appraisal to qualify for an IRS tax deduction, so we reached out to Appraise It Now. From the start, they were able to clearly answer all of our questions about both the appraisal process and the tax deduction requirements. We provided photos and additional details, and within 10 days we received a thorough, well-prepared report that included all the necessary IRS forms. I’m giving Appraise It Now a five-star review because communication was excellent throughout the entire process. Everyone I spoke with was helpful, friendly, and professional, and emails were always answered quickly. We were completely satisfied with the experience. Thank you!
Mobile Home Appraisal for Charitable Donation
These guys were phenomenal. Joe was very responsive and gave clear instructions on how to submit my information for the appraisal, which he completed in a very quick timeframe. The appraisal itself was extremely detailed and included a thorough explanation of how they arrived at the value. It came with extensive documentation, and it’s clear they did a significant amount of research. They were also very responsive through text and email and always available to answer any questions. I had them appraise my fifth-wheel RV for resale, and I highly recommend their services. I will definitely use them again.
Recreational Vehicle Appraisal for Insurance Coverage
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!
Trailer Appraisal for Title Bond
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!
Car Appraisal for Gift Tax
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.
Tractor Appraisal for Charitable Donation
Given the USPAP-compliant nature of AppraiseItNow’s appraisal reports, we prepare our deliverables for major legal, tax, and financial reporting purposes for individual and commercial clients.
Popular uses of our appraisal reports include:
We combine published guides such as J.D. Power's NADA values and Kelley Blue Book RV tools with actual market comparables from RV Trader, completed online listings, and dealer and auction records. No single guide captures regional demand or your unit's options and upgrades, so we reconcile several sources against real sold prices.
The report must state whether it concludes actual cash value, replacement cost, agreed value, or stated value, because each standard produces a different claim outcome. Before we appraise an RV for coverage or a loss dispute, we confirm which standard your policy uses so the number actually fits the claim.
Usually not. Utah's DMV sets the surety bond amount from its own valuation tables and market references, and applicants generally provide bills of sale or price evidence rather than an appraisal report. Officials request outside valuation support only in unusual or disputed cases, which is when a documented appraisal becomes useful.
For units subject to uniform fees, Utah applies a percent-good factor to the model-year cost new under the State Tax Commission's personal property valuation schedules. That schedule value serves tax administration; it is not a market appraisal, and actual resale value can differ significantly based on condition, mileage, and equipment.
