Appraisal Services: Buyers, Sellers & Donors

Fite Aircraft Valuation Group provides independent, USPAP-compliant aircraft appraisal reports for buyers, sellers, and donors. Whether you are acquiring, liquidating, or gifting an aviation asset, we are here to help you professionally and in a timely manner. We are located in the greater Salt Lake City, UT area, and can dispatch nationwide when needed.

Buyers: Our detailed and compliant appraisals ensure you don't overpay, uncovering hidden back-to-birth logbook gaps, damage history impacts, and upcoming maintenance cliffs (like engine overhauls or calendar inspections) before you close.

Sellers: Command top market value with an independent appraisal report. Presenting a certified appraisal to perspective buyers establishes immediate credibility, justifies your asking price, and eliminates lowball negotiations.

Donors: Secure your tax deductions with confidence. IRS regulations strictly require a "Qualified Appraisal" by a "Qualified Appraiser" for charitable aircraft donations exceeding $5,000. Our reports are meticulously formatted to withstand IRS scrutiny and satisfy Form 8283 requirements.

Every Appraisal Includes: A physical inspection of the aircraft, aircraft logbooks, and all available maintenance records. We also obtain FAA records for modifications and research all damage history. The final report is transmitted as a USPAP-compliant PDF report.
