We provide information and FDIC usable certification for banks for loan documentation, IRS donation & individual buyers and sellers.
If you're looking to buy an aircraft, you want to get the best value for your money. Most aircraft prices are based not on the aircraft's real value, but rather what the seller hopes to get, realistic or not.
If you're looking to sell an aircraft, you want to know what to price your aircraft at for a reasonable sale time, not pie in the sky. Good pricing can bring buyers to you first.
