Thanks again for everything! You made the transaction so simple. Pat was great. The plane is great. I flew the wings off yesterday. I even got sunburned I was out there so much. I am a pretty simple guy and don't buy a lot of things for myself so I usually have pretty significant "buyers remorse" when I make a large purchase such as this. I have to say, I have absolutely no remorse and am actually even happier than I expected to be. The pictures on the internet did not do this plane justice. This thing is gorgeous. It makes a man feel good when all the guys at the airport are standing around talking about what a good looking plane this is and how it is in pristine condition!

"You handled the transaction very professionally and I am very satisfied with your work. THANK YOU!"

"The reason I initially selected AirMart for an aircraft purchase was their willingness to accept my former aircraft as a trade-in. The reason I will select them for future trades and/or purchases is their meticulous attention to all details of the trade/purchase to include prompt responses to all of my many e-mail questions. I did not purchase one of AirMart's higher priced aircraft; however, I still received all of the attention and advice that I would have expected had I purchased the most expensive aircraft in their inventory. Jeff Ray was especially helpful by informing me of every step involved in the process. I also appreciate the very thorough annual inspection and careful detailing of the aircraft before it was delivered to me. I'll be back! "

"I have owned four airplanes over the past eight years and there is a pretty good chance I will own several more over the next several years. I can assure you I will always do my very best to buy all of them from AirMart. Every person I come along interested in buying an airplane, I will tell them to check out your website and buy from AirMart because they will stand behind their products to the fullest. Thank you and most sincerely!"

“AirMart has done a remarkable job streamlining aircraft selling and purchase.  The team has done a great job making it easy and reducing the stress of aircraft acquisition.”

"I want to sincerely thank the entire staff at AirMart, for a professional and painless experience. I was treated with respect throughout the process and my young son who came with me was also given the royal treatment. The AirMart people and facilities are top-notch. I also appreciated A taking on the titling and transfer tasks, which saved me time, trouble, and expense. Special thanks to Cindy, who graciously worked logistics issues for me and my Son before and during our trip to Lexington; Heather, who was so courteous and knowledgeable about the aircraft ownership/transfer process; and Tom, who proved to be a great wingman/instructor to fly with on a demo and advised me throughout. To all pilots/companies who may be considering purchasing an aircraft, please consider AirMart...you will find INTEGRITY there."

"Thank you for the wonderful experience I had with the purchase of my 2002 Archer III. Heather Goeing did a great job of keeping me informed of the progress of the engine rebuild and painting that was performed on the plane prior to my purchase. This was my first aircraft purchase and hopefully will not be my last, but I would highly recommend AirMart to anyone."

"This was my third aircraft purchase but my first Cirrus SR22 purchase. From the first conversation, Grant was professional and kind, answering all of my questions honestly and in a timely manner. In the end, what I got was not only a beautiful airplane but a great service customer experience. As a restaurateur, I place a great deal of importance on customer service. Going above and beyond also makes a BIG difference to me. Grant and the team at AirMart even arranged to reposition my new airplane from Atlanta to Montgomery for the Kelly Aerospace AC install. They took care of all of the arrangements at the shop for me and Matt, their pilot, flew down from KY to ATL to take me on a test flight! If you are in the market for an airplane - I highly recommend you give the team at AirMart a call. With their expertise, you are guaranteed a GREAT experience from the first email or phone call through closing - and then some! Thank you AIRMART!

"First I must say that Grant is a honorable man who keeps his word that makes AirMart score highly in my opinion. He’s very customer friendly, a true professional who works with the customer. I’m very impressed with the speed AirMart uses to expedite the process/transaction. As I told Grant if I were to buy another plane, I would buy it from AirMart, mainly because Grant’s is committed to run a reputable company."

"Selling my airplane through AirMart was a great decision. They handled the time consuming work of getting the ads in place, screened through the tire kickers, brought many of their previous customers into the mix, and helped explain some of the technical issues to the prospective buyers. I would definitely use AirMart again!"

"My experience with your company was above expectations. In a day and time when most companies and/or people don't always fulfill their obligations, you did that and more. Thank you so much for the smooth transaction. I would definitely do business with AirMart again and recommend you to my friends."

"Thank you for all your hard work in selling my plane through AirMart. The process was simple and painless. Grant was great to act as the intermediary to resolve any questions or issues from the buyer. I will definitely use AirMart again when buying or selling a plane."

"AirMart was very helpful in the purchase process of my Beech V35B. A real asset was the assistance Tom Ferguson who contributed to the prebuy inspection. If you are in the market to buy or sell a plane, do consider contacting Grant Sutherlin at AirMart for first class service."

“I was extremely pleased to have purchased my Cherokee 6 – 300 airplane from AirMart. Their professionalism in providing information, plane options and complete logs with several clear pictures on their web site helped with my selection. My contact, Jad, helped direct me through the entire process from negotiations up to the final purchase of the plane. I would certainly suggest anyone in the market for a new bird to contact AirMart Aircraft”

"Doing business with Air Mart was a very pleasurable experience. The attention to detail and concern you have for your customers goes well beyond expectations and is nothing less than exemplary. You can rest assured that everyone I come in contact with, relating to aviation, hears about AirMart and when I am ready to trade I will be back."

Extremely happy with the entire team at AirMart and Grant was great to work with. I definitely will work with AirMart in the future.

This is my second deal with AirMart since September...bought a SR20 to put into service on a lease back and sold my SR22 to upgrade to an all glass version of the same model. Both deals were smooth and easy.

Working with AirMart and Paul in selling my 206 was a good experience. The pictures and description on your website were way beyond anything I had expected. The paperwork for the actual sale was handled much more efficiently than I had expected. Doing everything online was wonderful. Communication throughout the process was excellent. I would highly recommend AirMart to anyone considering buying or selling an airplane.

“The AirMart team exceeded my expectations at every step. Honest, professional, helpful, and resourceful. A very comforting way to buy a plane.”

The is the second time I have dealt with AirMart and they didn’t disappoint. Their people are professional and courteous, the sale was easy and seamless just like last time. 

"I was more than thrilled by response and ease of working with AirMart. We signed the contract on Thursday, had the listing up on your sight by the weekend and had three interested parties Monday morning, and it was sold a week later. Start to finish 3 weeks! It doesn't get any better than that."

"Once again I had a great experience purchasing a 1998 Piper Archer III from AirMart a few weeks ago. Whether I was buying or selling an airplane, the experience has always exceeded by expectations. All transactions and the closings were handled very professionally and they really do make it a pleasurable experience. Most importantly is, that when each aircraft arrived at my home airport, the condition was actually better than what I had expected. Their goal is always to make sure their customer has a great experience and is totally happy with the aircraft."

I can't speak more highly of you, Grant and your team. Absolutely top notch service and follow through despite my busy schedule. Please pass this message on to your team and let them know-I truly appreciate all their help!

“My experience with AirMart was seamless and stress free.  They handled all of the heavy lifting and got me what I was looking for from a price standpoint."

"This was the first time that I used a broker to sell a plane. What a pleasure it was to work with highly trained professionals. Your web site was beyond my expectations. Heather was knowledgeable and eager to sell my plane. I had a buyer in less than one week. That's results! Well done!"

The proven adage of “Satisfied customers are your best advertisement” is thoroughly demonstrated and validated by every AirMart employee. As a frequent customer/client of AirMart, I can assure you that anyone you contact at AirMart will treat you with their fullest attention and utmost courtesy. All of my trades and purchases have been in the lower price ranges of AirMart’s inventory – however, I am certain I received as much attention to my numerous inquiries and requests as those clients who purchased much higher priced aircraft. Although my 80th birthday is fast approaching and I recently purchased my 4th aircraft from AirMart, I am cautiously hopeful that “I will be back for #5 someday”.

"Cathy and I would like to thank each of you for your help. You have all made this a pleasant and wonderful experience! You are all true professionals in your field."

"I have now dealt with Airmart on two occasions. Both times, everything was handled in such a professional, stress-free way, and everything was smooth as glass. Grant and the rest of the Airmart team are A-1. Thanks for the great service."

“Our flying club was interested in upgrading one of our planes. After contacting Grant to get initial information, I got our buying committee together to have Grant show us the plane using FaceTime. Everything up to this point was going a bit better than expected. Then it got better! AirMart’s team of professionals got involved from inspections, setting up the escrow, document disclosures, internet signing tools and a thorough checkout in the plane, to the final delivery they used their expertise to make this deal come together with amazing efficiency. I know a lot work went on behind the scenes to make the deal come together so seamlessly. AirMart will be our first call on our next airplane acquisition!"

"I am a repeat AirMart customer and most certainly will be a third repeat when I am again ready to sell or trade an aircraft. Jeff Ray was most helpful in negotiating for me a very fair price for an aircraft listed with another broker. He then sold an aircraft for me within one week of listing with AirMart. Jeff Ray and Shelby Lord will respond very promptly to any inquiry or concern you might have during the listing and sales transaction. Times have certainly changed since I purchased my first aircraft (a '46 Ercoupe) 40 years ago over a handshake and a cup of coffee. The legal, financial, mechanical inspection, escrow requirements, insurance, and documentation issues that are necessary today are well worth the broker fee charged by AirMart. They do it all for you!"

"I recently purchased a Cessna Turbo 210 through AirMart. I would never have made it through this long and, at times, very frustrating purchase had it not been for the patience and professionalism of the staff at AirMart and in particular the hard work of Heather. Her commitment to detail was always on full display. Without hesitation, I would use them again and highly recommend them for both selling or purchasing your next aircraft"

“I tried another national broker prior to using AirMart.  Log entries were not properly classified, damaging the marketability of my aircraft.  They didn't know the market on Malibu aircraft and priced me way out of the market, making it nearly impossible to generate interest.  They were not responsive to calls and didn't do anything beyond simply placing my aircraft information on the web.  Everyone does that and you can do that from home, so what separated AirMart from the others?  Grant represented my plane well, correcting mistakes from the prior broker and overcoming the damage done by the prior broker and he was readily available when I called.  AirMart understands Malibu's and knows the market.  He contacted me on a regular basis giving me updates (good and bad) on the progress of the sale.  He helped me to see my aircraft in a different light, giving me a reality check on the asset I was selling - which enabled me to be proactive in setting a realistic price to get my aircraft sold.  While I wasn't happy with the final price of my aircraft, I'm confident it was more than likely what the market would bear and in the end, it was my decision to accept the offer.  I now own a nearly new Malibu and when the time comes to get it sold, AirMart will be my choice to get the job done.”

Our Experience with AirMart was a good one. Grant and his staff were responsive both before and after the sale. Everything they said they would do, they did. We would definitely use AirMart again given the chance.

"I have been flying for 10 years but I have always rented. When the time came to buy my first aircraft I wanted the experience to be seamless and trouble free. After I decided that the right aircraft for my mission and budget was a Piper Archer II I scanned the market for almost a year until I found the right one with AirMart. Since the moment I contacted them to the day I flew my Archer II away from their location at Lexington, they exceed my expectations at every step of the way. When the time is right to upgrade my newly acquired flying machine I know where to look first, AirMart."

"I thought in this economy it would take months to sell my Piper 6X. Grant had it sold in 2 weeks! He and his entire staff are a first class organization who value truth and integrity."

"AirMart did a great job selling my Cessna 206. I would use the words: patient, thorough, professional, and respectful. I would engage AirMart again should the need ever arise."

I highly recommend AirMart and the stellar team I worked with including Adam, Grant and Annie, to name a few. My first Cirrus purchase at AirMart was my first aircraft purchase ever. The buying experience was fantastic, especially considering my inexperience at buying an airplane for the first time. AirMart handled the process beautifully at all stages with excellent recommendations for financing, insurance, pre-buy, and transition instruction. I was even connected with a Cirrus Standardized Instructor Pilot (CSIP) for transition training under the Cirrus Embark program which was phenomenal and boosted my confidence and safety in operating my new airplane; as an added benefit, the cost of instruction was covered by Cirrus. When I landed at my home airport, I was greeted by compliments from my FBO friends for my great looking plane. For first time buyers or long-time owners, I strongly recommend the team at AirMart for their professionalism and support. You will be happy you went with AirMart!

"5 years ago I purchased my first aircraft with Airmart and was extremely impressed with the quick attention to details and how seamless the staff at AirMart made the purchasing process. Fast forward to the present time, when it was time to sell that same airplane I didn't even have a second thought on who to call! Heather and the rest of the staff made the selling process just as easy as the buying process. Thanks for all your help and the A+ service you provide to the GA community!"

"My experience with AirMart was a great turn-key experience. The entire AirMart team provided support all the way to closing."

"I just wanted to tell you how pleased I was with the sale of my Cessna T206 airplane last week. I really didn’t expect to sell my plane this quickly having done so in just under 7 weeks! You certainly went all out to make sure I had plenty of exposure since we had interest from as far south as Puerto Rico and as far north as Canada. When I first listed with you I really liked the fact you sent a staff member up to take pictures of my plane without me having to leave my hangar here in SW Pa. When we had an interested buyer, I was impressed when Tom came up and was, not only the point person aka sales rep for me but was also the AP doing the compression check for the buyer’s representative. Thank you for flying me home after I delivered my aircraft to you at Lexington Airport. I really appreciated all the honest answers and immediate attention you gave me when needed. I will certainly call you when I decide to buy again. Just as you did when we sold my C-182, 5 years ago, you turned a big deal into a great deal!"

“Having been looking for an used Cessna Skylane for a few months I was delighted to find AirMart's inventory not only reasonably priced but also of very high quality compared to the rest of the market. AirMart team did excellent job representing the airplanes with accurate spec sheets, high quality pictures and logbooks always readily available. When a superb Skylane showed up on the web site, I called Grant immediately.  From the first call to delivery it took just about 10 days, with Grant, Matt, Annie helping every step of the way. Everyone is very responsive and helpful over email and phone. When I arrived at AirMart the staff was friendly and professional, and I found the plane exactly as advertised and it was in pristine condition. I'm very pleased with the entire experience and would highly recommended AirMart.”

“Working with AirMart was a pleasure. Each person I encountered was exceptional in their professionalism and helpfulness. I felt they went above and beyond finding the perfect plane for me. I would most definitely work with AirMart again in the future.”

I could not ask for a better purchasing experience! The AirMart staff was very helpful and kept us up to date on each process all the way to close. We will certainly use AirMart again in the future.

I was very pleased with my purchasing experience. AirMart made the process quick and painless. Everyone that I worked with was very professional and helpful. They were available when I needed them and did everything that I asked.

"I bought a Cherokee Six through AirMart, and I was incredibly impressed with every aspect of the experience. First, during my initial evaluations of the airplanes, to be able to view every page of the aircraft logs, engine logs, and propeller logs right from the website, was INCREDIBLY helpful and informative. Then, to have links to YouTube videos of the exterior and interior of the airplane, was amazing (you feel like you're walking around and in the airplane - seeing everything the photos may not show, and it makes you feel more confident that a photo didn't "miss" an imperfection.) It's just a very "clean" website, giving you of the pertinent information, in an incredibly user friendly and informative way. Once I contacted AirMart, Rodney was incredibly helpful. He gave me his honest insights, and, made himself very accessible (even after hours) to help however he could. During the purchasing process, Rodney was an effective mediator between me and the seller (this was an airplane they were brokering), and helped us work through any issues that hindered the process. Rodney was incredibly diligent in researching the airplane I had decided to purchase (an airplane that wasn't originally his listing), and found issues in the logbooks that I had completely missed! He brought it to my attention, even knowing that it could jeopardize the sale. This level of integrity is very rare (and, it helped assure me that they weren't trying to hide anything, just for a quick sale.) My understanding from other pilots who have worked with AirMart is that Grant, the owner, will never sell an airplane (at ANY cost) that isn't in excellent condition (he will refuse airplanes, or fix important issues, before selling them.) Of course, there is no "perfect" airplane, and little squawks can be missed, but, it's nice knowing that they have a high level of both quality control and integrity. Once the purchase decision was finalized, Shelby handled all of the paperwork, and walked me through the process step-by-step. Like Rodney, Shelby, made herself very accessible (even after hours), to help make this a smooth process. She didn't make me "guess" about anything - always going above and beyond to get me the information I needed, and answering all of my questions in a very patient and confident way. I would, with certainty and without any hesitation, buy from AirMart, again. Thank you, Rodney & Shelby, for your diligence, helpfulness, and integrity. And, thank you, Grant, for having a company with a reputation built on these principles!"

"I really did enjoy my experience with AirMart. Very accessible and professional. Once a buyer was found, the process went very smooth and efficient. I would not hesitate to use AirMart again."

"The sales experience with AirMart was fast, easy, and hassle free. I received a fair price for my airplane and Airmart handled all of the paperwork. I'll definitely use AirMart for buying and selling aircraft in the future."

"This will be the second plane I have purchased from AirMart and the experience, as always, exceeded my expectations. I had purchased the plane without ever seeing it, other than pictures. I felt comfortable doing this because I have complete confidence that the airplane will be in as good if not better condition than what they had described. Sure enough, the plane was in very good condition, just as AirMart had said. I have sold two airplanes by AirMart as well and the experience was outstanding on both occasions. With great leadership and a professional sales team, you can always expect World Class Service from them."

AirMart did a good job in advertising and getting the word out about the sale of my aircraft. All in all the sale went smoothly.

"AirMart exceeded my expectations once again. This is my second purchase from them in less than 30 days. It was worth it to let them find what I was looking for while I concentrated on growing my business. AirMart is a first class operation and I recommend them to any body that values their time. Thank you to the entire staff."

"This plane was purchased "sight unseen" at the recommendation of a local CFI who has purchased many planes for his students from this company over the years. From the first minute of my interaction with the staff I was reassured, comfortable, and upon receipt of my plane, ecstatic. The process for purchase was flawless. The plane was all that was promised and more. The salesman's representation of the plane was honest, unembellished, informed, and precise. Frankly, this transaction could not have been better. These people are professional and trustworthy. If you find the plane you are looking for is on their website, STOP. Call them."

"I am very happy with the service and communication with AirMart for the sale of my SR-20. I didn’t want any hassles, and that is the main reason I went with a broker. AirMart made it easy to send pictures and documents, and handled all the buyer hassles. The communication was just right – not too much, not too little, just regular brief and concise updates. AirMart’s knowledge of market pricing and negotiations made what I thought would be a high-stress transaction very simple and stress-free. AirMart was able to secure a purchase price that was 96% of my original asking price. I will recommend AirMart to anyone looking to sell an aircraft."

Please convey my deepest gratitude to you and the AirMart team for the excellent service provided from the day I decided to sell my airplane. Your professionalism is permeates to every member of the team -from the competent ferry pilot, to your sales persons, to your office staff. After a reasonable short period and four qualified offers later, I received the funds without a glitch as you went above and beyond my expectations.

"AirMart handled the sale of my DA40 quickly and professionally. I was very pleased and would highly recommend doing business with AirMart."

"Cindy and Heather- Thank you for your assistance in my purchase. The aircraft was exactly as described, and the purchase could not have gone better. Heather was a professional in every sense, and communication with her was easy - through various texts, phone calls, and e-mails. I ended up meeting the owner and closing the very next morning. Thanks again."

AirMart was outstanding and trustworthy. The first plane I looked at was exactly as described. That one sold fast and I missed it. After seeing photos of the second plane and talking to with a sales manager, I bought it sight unseen. Should say a lot about their reputation. Thanks for a great plane.

"I have purchased one aircraft and sold one aircraft with the services that AirMart provides and their service has been excellent. AirMart makes buying and selling an aircraft very easy and I will likely use AirMart in my future transactions."

“Annie at AirMart made what otherwise could have been a stressful and complicated set of transactions, easy and transparent. She was proactive in her communication and responsive to any questions I had. Would definitely use them again.”

This was my first Aircraft purchase and with the market plays in force made the decision to purchase from the States and import to Australia a rather attractive one. After much searching I settled on a 182T being marketed by AirMart. I found dealing with Grant and Nancy of Airmart to be extremely easy and straight forward. They were very helpful in assisting me through the process including recommendations for pre-purchase inspections and suitable Pilots to relocate the Aircraft etc. I found their marketing strategy of providing videos and photographs very helpful. Grant also showed great honesty and integrity by advising of some very small but minor damage that wasn't at all recognizable in photo's and video's. I would have no hesitation in recommending Grant, Nancy and AirMart to any one looking to purchase an aircraft.

"The team at AirMart did a great job with my purchase of the Piper Dakota. As a first time buyer I had a ton of questions and concerns but in the end we ended up with a beautiful Dakota that was fully loaded w/ the latest avionics so we're are very happy. Ferry flight back to WI was great and allowed me to get some time to get up to speed w/ the Aspen panel. Thanks again for the help & great job!"

"AirMart led me through my first aircraft purchase with a lot of patience and excellent guidance. The aircraft was fairly priced , and the staff addressed all needs in a timely and friendly manner. I would recommend AirMart to anyone!"

"I’m sure that any previous accolades from past customers of AirMart pale in comparison to the superior experience I have had most recently in the sale of my Diamond DA40.  From start to finish Adam took charge and quickly and efficiently found a buyer and successfully closed the sale.  Since at the time, I was in the process of moving from Virginia to Florida and could not be present to show the aircraft, Adam arranged to fly over to pick-up the aircraft and fly it back to AirMart, all at no charge.  I could not have asked for any better service than was provided by AirMart.  There is no question, I would recommend AirMart to anyone wanting to sell or buy and aircraft.  They are the finest.  A satisfied customer,  Al Yahanda"

“My purchase of my 1982 Beechcraft Bonanza couldn't have gone any smother. The staff was very professional and courteous. I arrived at their location in Lexington, KY and my aircraft was in the hangar. I spent the next 30 minutes looking over the aircraft and afterwards their was a representative was waiting on the sidelines to answer my questions. Their was no wasted time as I had to drive back home afterwards. They took my wife and I out to lunch at a very nice place and we continued our conversation in regards to the plane. I had a very good feeling about the whole experience as my wife and I drove home. I have been looking for an aircraft for almost a year and have come across a lot of shady outfits. This was not one of them. I would highly recommend using Airmart for their selection, professionalism, and the ability to get the job done. Thanks to Adam, Grant and Annie for making my dream come true!”

"You made selling my aircraft easy and uneventful. I was updated frequently on the progress of the sale. Thank you for all your help."

“As first time aircraft purchasers the amount of paper work, inspections, etc., etc. was a bit daunting. Fortunately, the AirMart team has been through this process enough to help us feel comfortable from beginning to end. A friendly, knowledgeable staff covered all the bases start to finish. It was a pleasure to meet the phone and email “voices” face to face in Lexington when we took delivery. A very nice facility. We would definitely consider using AirMart if we ever consider selling or trading in the future.”

"It was a pleasure purchasing my Cessna 182T from AirMart. Tom Ferguson and Heather Hammond where excellent to deal with. Very knowledgeable, pleasant and trustworthy. Every question I asked was answered promptly. There were no hard sell tactics. They delivered everything from the paperwork to the plane in a timely manner. If there is ever another airplane purchase in my future my first call will be to AirMart! I highly recommend dealing with AirMart.

“When I sold my Cirrus, I knew exactly which sales force to use -- AirMart. I've now purchased and sold aircraft with them.  Why AirMart?  Because they provide a noise-free, honest, responsive team that has one purpose--getting me the best deal.”

“This is my fifth occasion to have AirMart buy and/or sell an aircraft for me.   Each time was a different situation: sometimes a trade-in of aircraft, sometimes negotiating a purchase from another broker, sometimes a purchase from AirMart inventory.  Regardless of my request the AirMart Team always responded promptly to my every question or request.  When I tried to thank each one individually, each person responded ‘No thanks necessary - This is what we do – we work as a team for your benefit.’  Well, I will be back for number six someday.  Until then:  Thanks, AirMart Team!”
