“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.”

"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!"

"Thank you for your help selling my plane. You were a steady hand throughout the process, and I really appreciated your professionalism and wise counsel."

I’m very pleased with the service and quality of service I received from AirMart, my plane was exactly as described and the attention and detail Adam provided me during the buying process was excellent! I’m very happy with my purchase and the follow up provided from AirMart and team! Happy Customer!

"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!"

"When it came time to sell my airplane, I was looking for the simplest, low hassle approach possible. I contacted several brokers, and inquired about retail sales terms and wholesale offers. When I called Grant at AirMart, he immediately returned my call with a very fair offer on my aircraft. The process from offer to sale was well designed, professional, and expedient. A week later, we closed on the transaction. The staff and employees at AirMart are professional and very friendly. I was guided through every step of the transaction, and was treated very well. Thank you."

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.

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!

“I was looking for a Centurion and Adam called me out of the blue and said he had one that wasn’t even on the market yet. It turned out to be exactly what I wanted. I was so impressed that he remembered the type of plane I was interested in and had the system to recall potential customers. The first time I talked with him was a few years before. This contrasted with other agents I called during my search; many of these didn’t even return calls. How can you sell a plane (or anything) and not communicate with a potential buyer? After deciding to buy the Centurion, I listed my Mooney with him and essentially had it sold within a week! The process was very smooth. They took care of everything, and the fee was reasonable.”

"My experience purchasing a Cirrus SR22 from AirMart was what I would expect from a highly professional, skilled broker. The AirMart experience was precise and punctual. Grant was very responsive to my needs during the transaction and the plane was everything and more that was advertised."

"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."

"Heather was amazing. From start to finish, she was super nice, always helpful and answered any question I had (Lord knows I asked a million). This was my first aircraft purchase and I, honestly, can not think of a single negative comment. I had a specific date that I needed to take the airplane on and she was on top of it, and I got my airplane. Kudos to her on a job well done. She is really an amazing individual. I am definitely going to refer anyone I may know that is looking to buy or sell to Heather. And thank you again for a job well done!"

"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."

"In over a year of looking at used aircraft, Grant was the first seller to accurately describe what he had to sell. In fact, everyone who looked at the Archer agreed that, inside and out, it is better than what he described. The AirMart representatives with whom I dealt were professional, thorough, and pleasant."

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.

"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."

"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."

"I was directed to AirMart when I answered the ad for our new plane, an Archer 181. From the get-go, I found Adam and Tiffany (and other employees) more than helpful. I always was able to get in contact with them and as this was the first time I bought an airplane, they guided me through on all the steps. Their tracking document that checks off all the steps finished/to do was very helpful. I can recommend AirMart with the highest confidence that anyone would have the same good, quality experience I did. I never felt like I was working with a broker, bank or 3rd party. It was more like working with friends or co-workers. Thanks to AirMart we now have a new plane."

“Doing business with you guys was a great and easy experience.   The plane was as good if not better than described and we are super happy with it.   If we ever buy another one, we will start looking at AirMart from the start.  Thanks again Bob!”

"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."

"Heather was really helpful for a first time buyer. She was flexible and responsive. It was a pleasure to work with her!"

"We found AirMart to be be very accommodating and motivated to meet our needs. It has been a pleasurable experience."

"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 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!"

"AirMart appraised my airplane that sold for top dollar. They also made recommendations that I complied with to get top dollar. I would use AirMart in the future to sell another airplane because they are highly professional people who deliver!"

"Once again I contacted AirMart to assist me in selling my Cirrus SR22. I have purchased one plane and sold two planes with the help of AirMart and through each of these experiences, I have been completely satisfied. Their staff is always very professional and helpful which makes them very easy to do business with. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a quality airplane at a fair price, or just wanting to get a fair price for their airplane."

“I had a great experience working with Grant and Annie from AirMart. I have bought and sold many aircraft over the years. My recent purchase from AirMart was the fastest and easiest aviation transaction that I have ever done."

“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 was pleased both buying and selling! Good work."

Never having sold a plane before I was prepared for a nightmare. You made it a pleasure! You have my sincere thanks!

"Our experience with purchasing our Archer III from AirMart in June and July of 2013 was certainly a positive one. We appreciated the professional yet personal interactions we had with the company's staff throughout the process. We were most impressed with the extensive and conveniently organized and available documents provided, both online and in person. AirMart was easy to work with when glitches occurred even after delivery of the aircraft."

"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"

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

"It was great dealing with AirMart. This was the very first plane I purchased and he made it smooth and simple, from my initial call to the final closing. If I ever decide to change or upgrade planes in the future I will definitely do it with AirMart. In addition, dealing with AIC Title was smooth and easy."

I had a great experience purchasing a 2005 Piper 6X listed by AirMart. Both the Company and Grant and his family have a long-time excellent reputation in the aircraft brokerage community. The plane I purchased was exactly as it was represented in the listing, and Grant made the experience fun and was a pleasure to work with. I would do business with AirMart again, and would certainly contact them if I decide to list the plane for sale in the future.

“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.”

"My experience with AirMart was very favorable. They coordinated the plane's relocation to their facility, as well as the minor maintenance issues necessary to facilitate the sale. The closing was professionally handled, and AirMart definitely brought value to the transaction."

This is my second experience with AirMart and like the first one, it was a pleasurable experience. All of their staff are very professional and easy to do business with.

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.

"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."

"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!"

"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."

"A great transaction, Heather did a wonderful job."

"AirMart was great and bent over backwards to make the deal go through smoothly and quickly. I hope to do business with AirMart again."

I enjoy my aircraft very much. I would like to thank you for the professional way you pack the aircraft. I appreciate and confirm that I received the Cessna T182T in a 100% condition. I will definitely recommend AirMart to other people.

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.

“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."

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.

"First-rate sales team. I would definitely call them as a buyer or seller in the future."

"Working with Bob was fantastic.  He was able to work through a number of challenges around the sale to make it as smooth as possible, and he stuck around until the plane was in my hands to make sure everything was in great shape. Given the work he put in, I'm definitely going to check out AirMart if and when I decide to sell my plane!"

I regard AirMart as an excellent, professional, courteous and friendly Company for the following reasons: When I was looking for an Aircraft to buy, the sales executive "Adam" was very courteous by calling me back and giving me a few choices of Airplanes, but they were above my budget. Adam called me a few more times with different options and finally several weeks later they had the exact Airplane that I was looking for. A Cessna 172K XP with 210 HP. My friend and I flew Commercial from LAX to LEX to check this Aircraft out and see if it was what I was looking for. The paperwork was a breeze, everyone was extremely courteous, friendly and professional. My friend and I flew back to Southern California without any problems, thank God. I recommend AirMart highly, I would do business with this company any time without any hesitation.

“My experience with Air Mart was nothing but positive! When I came to Kentucky to look in the planes, the company gave me first class treatment!”

"I would like to express my appreciation to the staff at AirMart for making the sale of my aircraft very pleasant and efficient. I worked primarily with Heather and she was very professional and helpful. She expedited everything from logistics, to a few minor mechanical glitches using Mustang Aviation to resolve those issues. I found both organizations to be very good to work with. If I decide to buy or sell an aircraft in the future, you can rest assured, AirMart will be my go to contact!"

"I really appreciate the effort Jad and Grant put forth in assisting me with the purchase of my first plane. They made the process smooth and simple from start to finish."

"AirMart sold my Aircraft fast! Heather did a great job and communicated the whole way."

“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.”

"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."

"The folks at AirMart did what they said they could do and more. My plane sold in less than 3 weeks and close to my asking price. I was also out of the country during the entire transaction which would normally make things much more complicated, it didn't. A very professional experience. Thank you!"

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.

"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."

"Purchasing my first plane from AirMart was an excellent experience. Adam Mabry’s willingness to “hang in there with me” to identify and then find the right plane for my situation made the process fun & stress-free. Thanks again to the entire staff for complete professionalism throughout the process!"

"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."

"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."

“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”

“Everything involving AirMart was great. Straightforward, honest assessment of the aircraft, seamless transfer and  sale, professional operation throughout.”

AirMart beats all expectations, they came down and looked at my plane, listed it and sold it within a month. They are very organized with all of the closing docs and escrow agents. I recommend AirMart and their salesman Paul.

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

"Dealing with AirMart was a most pleasurable experience. The fellows who came to look at my plane were extremely courteous and forthright as they conducted their evaluation. They photographed my log entries and transmitted the images to their corporate HQ who made me a fair and reasonable offer, and we were able to close the deal on the spot. I recommend AirMart to anyone who is looking to buy or sell an aircraft."

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.

"You guys were professional, made the process simple and easy. Returned my calls and answered all my questions and concerns in a timely fashion. Outstanding customer service team. Thank you for assisting in purchasing an aircraft, we will look forward to doing business again with you."

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.
