1. To make sure you buy the right airplane for your needs, one that we would be happy to own ourselves, and
2. To make sure you don't get "stung" in the purchase process, with hidden defects, poor maintenance history, damage history, title defects, or any of the dozens of other ways first-time aircraft buyers find out their new aircraft aren't what they expected
3. To teach you enough about the correct purchase process so that you can buy your subsequent aircraft without our help

1. We'll interview you so we can make recommendations about which age, make and model of aircraft is best for your budget, mission, and pilot experience.
2. We'll send you the basic “book” values for those aircraft from the Aircraft Bluebook Price Digest, Vref Aircraft Value Reference, and National Aircraft Appraisers Assn.
3. We'll send you third-party reviews of the aircraft we recommend.
4. Upon request, we'll provide you with ownership cost estimates for the aircraft that meet your needs
5. We'll search dozens of sources of aircraft for sale, including "hidden" sources such as private sellers, dealer-only publications, and wholesale dealers who don't publish their listings.
6. Once we've found a few listings that we think should meet your needs, we'll email them to you for your comments and review. We'll include our thoughts about how the asking price compares to the market realities and the "book" values
7. If we're unable to find an airplane that meets your needs which is published as being for sale, upon request, we'll send out postcards to current owners to see if any of them would be interested in selling
8. We'll call each seller and get the real details...we know the right questions to ask, in the right order, to get a complete picture of the quality of the aircraft.
9. We'll search the FAA and NTSB records to find records of any accidents involving the airplane’s serial number.
10. We'll ask the seller to photocopy the most recent engine and airframe logs and send them to us so that we can read through them and look for "red flags" in the maintenance or damage history.
11. We'll negotiate with the seller to get you the best price...we won't let you pay more than fair market value!
12. We'll provide all of the necessary agreements and documents to thoroughly protect your interests in the transaction.
13. We'll open escrow at an independent aircraft escrow agency, which will order a title search.
14. We'll order copies of FAA 337 “Major Repair or Alteration” forms, and review them.
15. At your request, we will have a certified appraiser inspect, evaluate, and appraise the airplane. Only an appraisal can give an accurate report of the aircraft’s value and verify that it is what the seller says it is.
16. At your request, we will have the plane test flown by a local pilot, to make sure all the avionics and systems work and that it flies straight and true.
17. We will oversee a detailed pre-purchase examination from an independent maintenance shop. (We reject about half the airplanes we because of problems turned up in the condition of the aircraft.)
18. We'll help you find suitable financing and insurance.
19. We'll show you ways to avoid paying sales tax on your aircraft purchase, and make aircraft ownership tax deductible
