OUTCOMES
What clients say.
I recommend AprraiseItNow Inc. highly. I needed appraisal of fair market value for geologic laboratory equipment for charitable donations to three universities. The unique items and limited secondary market complicated valuation. They provided a sound, verifiable estimate and the 8283 forms that I was able to use in my tax filings. I would use them again.
So easy to work with! They were quick, fair on price, and super helpful through the process. Definitely recommend!
COMMON QUESTIONS
Serving California.
Do you provide equipment appraisals throughout California?
Yes. We appraise machinery and equipment statewide, including Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, San Francisco, Sacramento, Fresno, Long Beach, Oakland, and Bakersfield, along with agricultural, industrial, and coastal regions across all 58 counties.
Do your appraisers travel on site in California, or work remotely?
Both. On-site inspection is available across California for larger fleets and high-value assets. Many engagements are completed remotely from detailed photos, serial numbers, hour readings, and maintenance records when an in-person visit is not warranted.
Which California industries do you appraise equipment for?
We value equipment for agriculture and food processing, semiconductor and precision manufacturing, aerospace and defense, wineries and beverage production, logistics and distribution, and construction and material handling, among others.
Will the report meet California lender and court requirements?
Every report is prepared in accordance with USPAP and built to meet the documentation SBA lenders, commercial banks, insurers, and courts expect. The reviewing party makes the final acceptance decision, but the report is defensible and standards-compliant.
How quickly can you appraise equipment in California?
Turnaround depends on the number of assets and whether an on-site inspection is needed. Tell us your deadline when you request the appraisal and we will scope the engagement to meet it.
