Questions we get before the first call.

We represent clients through aircraft transactions and the ownership decisions around them. That covers acquisition, sale and brokerage, ownership advisory, and coordination with management, maintenance, and crew partners.

We are advisors and brokers, not an operator — we don’t fly or maintain the aircraft ourselves.

No. Plenty of first calls start with “here’s how we travel and here’s our budget.” We work backwards from mission profile, range, passenger count, and operating budget to a shortlist that actually fits.

Our office is in Sacramento, California, but transactions are handled across the United States. Most of the process runs by phone, email, and text, with travel for inspections and closings as needed.

You’ll have one point of contact from the first call through delivery. No handoffs to a junior desk once the agreement is signed.

Alongside the public market, we work our broker and owner network directly. A meaningful share of good aircraft change hands before they ever reach a listing site.

An independent facility inspects the airframe, engines, avionics, and records against the aircraft’s claimed condition. We coordinate the facility, attend where appropriate, and translate the findings into what they mean for price and negotiation.

• Airframe and engine condition against time and cycles
• Logbook continuity and damage history
• Airworthiness directives and outstanding service bulletins
• Avionics currency and upcoming mandates

Yes — and it’s the single most common thing first-time buyers underestimate. Before you make an offer we’ll build out the realistic annual picture: fuel, crew, hangar, insurance, scheduled maintenance, engine programs, and reserves.

We coordinate with escrow and title companies, aviation attorneys, and lenders, and we keep the closing checklist moving. Legal, tax, and lending advice comes from the licensed professionals on your team — we’ll introduce you to ones we trust if you don’t have them.

We look at recent comparable sales rather than asking prices, then adjust for total time, engine and maintenance program status, avionics, damage history, interior and paint condition, and how many similar aircraft are currently on the market.

It depends on the model, the condition, and how the aircraft is priced against the market. Pricing realistically at the start almost always beats starting high and chasing the market down.

• Complete logbooks and maintenance records
• Current specification sheet and equipment list
• Engine and maintenance program status
• Recent photographs, or we’ll arrange them
• Any outstanding squawks or deferred items

Nothing. The first call is a conversation about what you need and whether we’re the right fit. No obligation either way.

Fees are agreed in writing before any work begins and depend on the aircraft, the scope, and whether we’re representing you as buyer or seller. You’ll always know what you’re paying before you commit.

From accepted offer to delivery, timing is usually driven by inspection scheduling and any corrective work that follows. We give you a realistic timeline up front and flag slippage as soon as we see it, rather than at the end.
