"We contracted John Swartz to assist our company to sell our Hawker 850XP, and also to acquire a Gulfstream 280. This buy/sell transaction progressed into an extremely smooth process, and when a potential situation came up, John handled it with knowledge, experience and professionalism. Swartz Aviation Group was there every step of the way, and I would highly recommend them to anyone needing an aircraft broker. We will not hesitate to use them again."
