The Appraisal FoundationAuthorized by Congress as the source of appraisal standardsAppraiseItNow provides USPAP-compliant mobile and manufactured home appraisals specifically prepared for bankruptcy proceedings, covering both Chapter 7 liquidation and Chapter 13 reorganization cases. These appraisals establish the fair market value of the home as of the petition date, which is required for accurate completion of Schedule A/B and for supporting exemption claims, cramdown calculations, or trustee review. Whether the home is titled as personal property or has been converted to real property through affixation, our manufactured housing valuation team has the specialized experience to address the classification correctly.
We deliver appraisals both online and onsite across the United States, working directly with debtors, attorneys, and trustees to meet court deadlines. Our bankruptcy filing support includes full narrative reports that clearly define the applicable value standard, document the methodology used, and withstand creditor challenges or cross-examination.
AppraiseItNow appraises a wide range of factory-built housing configurations commonly encountered in bankruptcy schedules.
Clients and their attorneys can expect a structured, transparent process from intake through final report delivery.
What clients say we are known for
Across 80+ published AppraiseItNow reviews the picture is consistent: every one is from a client who paid us for an appraisal, and the three things they raise most often are that they would hire us again, how quickly we answer, and how much research is visible in the report.
I was in dire need of an appraisal for my father's mobile home, which he needed for Medicaid approval. I couldn’t find anyone to do it for a long time, but then I found this company online and decided to give them a try. I’m so glad I did. They were wonderful to work with. I sent the pictures, and within just a few days I received the appraisal. They are absolutely worth the money.
Mobile Home Appraisal
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.
Very thorough and professional — great communication and outstanding service. Highly impressed with their work!
Replacement value under 11 U.S.C. Section 506(a)(2): the price a retail merchant would charge for a home of like age and condition as of the petition date. Courts apply this retail standard, following the Supreme Court's Rash decision, and reject wholesale or auction figures when the debtor keeps the home.
The NADA Manufactured Housing Appraisal Guide is the workhorse; courts have set values largely from NADA data when competing appraisals conflict. Dealer retail quotes, VIN-specific identification, condition photos, and appraisal reports round out the record, and judges will adjust an appraiser's figure for age, condition, and comparable retail evidence.
Often not. When the lender's lien covers only the home itself, courts limit the secured claim to the box value of the unit, excluding value attributable to its location, and have excluded delivery and setup costs from replacement value when the debtor retains the home. That distinction can shrink the secured claim substantially.
Because it caps the secured claim. If a debtor owes far more than the home is worth, a Chapter 13 plan can pay the appraised replacement value over the plan term while the balance is treated as unsecured, so lenders contest the valuation and its NADA inputs closely, and the exemption analysis may separately turn on fair market value.
