AppraiseItNow appraises antiques and household contents, firearms, art, boats, vehicles, equipment, and businesses for probate, divorce, insurance coverage, Form 8283 donations, and lending in New Hampshire. The probate inventory is due 90 days after appointment and must state date-of-death fair market value and how each value was determined, so a written appraisal answers the form's own question. The legacy and succession tax was repealed for deaths on or after January 1, 2003, and the estate tax is measured by a federal credit that no longer exists, so one date-of-death report serves the inventory, Form 706 where it applies, and the heirs' basis. In divorce, the court presumes an equal division is equitable, so what the antiques, boat, and business are worth is the substance of the case.
Most assignments are completed online from photographs and documents you upload; onsite inspection is available statewide for full-house estates, machine shop equipment lines, and antique, firearm, or art collections where condition and provenance drive value. Fees are fixed and quoted before work begins, and if the inventory clock or a court date is running we confirm up front whether we can meet it. We do not appraise real estate; for a home or camp we refer you to a state-licensed real estate appraiser.

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 skeptical at first, but the company exceeded all of my expectations. The team responded quickly to every question, and the service was excellent. They’re now my go to source for my collection. I’ve used them twice already, and I plan to use them several more times.
Firearms Appraisal for Personal Use
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!
Car Appraisal for Insurance Claim
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!!👊🏼
Personal Property Appraisal for Charitable Donation
I've dealt with several appraisers, and this was my first time using AppraiseItNow. They were by far the best. They did a great job. Their process was honest, efficient, and very detailed. Their staff was highly credentialed, and they provided IRS-compliant guidelines in their evaluation process, which was exactly what we were looking for. Their customer service also had prompt response times and was a pleasure to work with. If I need this service again, I won't go anywhere else.
Personal Property Appraisal for Charitable Donation
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
I recommend AppraiseItNow Inc. highly. I needed an appraisal of fair market value for geologic laboratory equipment for charitable donations to three universities. The unique items and limited secondary market complicated the 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.

The Appraisal FoundationAuthorized by Congress as the source of appraisal standardsNo, not unless the court orders one. The inventory statute asks the administrator to state each item's fair market value at death and how it was determined, and it names appraisal, tax information, and bank statements as acceptable sources, so a fiduciary may use their own reasonable figures. Estates with antiques, art, firearms, equipment, or a business interest usually commission an appraisal anyway, because a documented value heads off disputes among beneficiaries and questions from the court.
Not in practice. The legacy and succession tax was repealed for deaths on or after January 1, 2003, and the estate tax chapter that remains on the books is measured by the federal credit for state death taxes, which federal law no longer provides. Only the federal estate tax can reach a large New Hampshire estate, so date-of-death appraisals here serve the probate inventory, Form 706 where required, and the heirs' basis.
