Will my appraisal be accepted by the IRS, insurers, or courts?

AppraiseItNow appraisals are prepared to qualified appraisal standards, including proper valuation date, documented methodology, appraiser credentials, and a non-contingent fee declaration. No firm can guarantee acceptance by any specific party, but following these standards significantly reduces the risk of a report being questioned or rejected.

Does Mississippi's appraisal licensing framework affect personal property appraisals?

Mississippi's Real Estate Appraiser Licensing and Certification Act governs real estate appraisers only and has no bearing on personal property valuations. Appraisals of assets like industrial equipment, vehicles, or fine art are governed by general personal property appraisal standards, including USPAP, rather than any state real estate licensing requirement.

AppraiseItNow appraisers are credentialed through organizations such as ASA and AMEA and are experienced in valuing the types of machinery and tooling common to these growing sectors.
