Why Choose The Jet Guys For Your Full Appraisal

As an ASA-Accredited appraiser with 27 years in business aviation, Brad Searls delivers certified, USPAP-compliant reports that hold up with lenders, insurers, attorneys, and the IRS. No shortcuts, no guesswork — just a defensible number you can act on.
GET TO KNOW US.jpg)
We put eyes on the aircraft.
A full appraisal starts with a physical, on-site inspection of the airframe, engines, interior, and avionics. We assess the aircraft's actual condition in person, not just what's on paper, so the valuation reflects reality.

We read every page
of the logbooks.
Damage history, incomplete logbooks, deferred maintenance, and upcoming inspections all affect value. We review airframe, engine, and avionics records in detail to confirm airworthiness status and flag anything that impacts the appraisal.

We compare against
the real market.
Using live data from JETNET and other industry sources, we benchmark the aircraft against comparable sales, current listings, and fleet trends, so the valuation reflects what buyers are actually paying today.
