Certified Appraisers Guild of AmericaCertified Appraiser
The Appraisal FoundationAuthorized by Congress as the source of appraisal standardsAppraiseItNow provides certified fair market value appraisals for kitchen appliances across residential and commercial settings. FMV reflects the price a willing buyer and seller would agree upon in an open, competitive market, and this standard is required by the IRS for charitable property donations exceeding $5,000 under Form 8283, as well as for estate tax filings, gift tax returns, and equitable asset division in legal proceedings. Our kitchen appliance valuations are part of our broader equipment valuation practice, covering everything from individual high-end residential units to full commercial kitchen installations.
Most appraisals are completed remotely using photographs, serial numbers, model documentation, and maintenance records, with onsite inspection available for large commercial setups or when physical condition is central to the value conclusion. Our fair market value appraisal services are available for homeowners, estate executors, restaurant operators, attorneys, and CPAs.
We cover a wide range of residential and commercial kitchen appliances across all major categories and price points, including:
Our appraisers are credentialed through recognized professional organizations including ISA, ASA, AAA, CAGA, AMEA, and NEBB, and all reports are USPAP-compliant.
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.
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.
Machinery & Equipment 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!
By what a willing buyer would pay in the resale market for that brand, model, age, and condition, which is usually a small fraction of the new price even for working units. Comparable sold items, not catalog prices or replacement quotes, are the evidence reviewing parties accept.
Because they ignore the used market entirely. A refrigerator or stand mixer can sell for a small share of original retail despite working well, and flat depreciation percentages that don't match condition, age, model, and local demand are routinely rejected in favor of market evidence.
A decisive one. The line between good used condition and merely usable can swing value by hundreds of dollars, and poor-condition units often approach zero. Brand, model number, photos, and documented working status are what settle those disagreements, so we capture them in every appliance report.
Under FHA guidance, only appliances that remain with the property and contribute to market value are included in the value conclusion, and those must be operational. The FHA kitchen minimum is a sink with potable running water and a stove hookup, not necessarily an installed stove.
