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

"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!"

"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."

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

"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."

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”.

"I have done a few airplane deals with Grant and the AirMart crew over the past 4 years. They are my go to people when I do not have the time to find the exact plane I am looking for. The airplanes are always better than what was represented. AirMart does a fantastic job locating clean, low time airplanes. I highly recommend Grant and his entire staff. The purchases are always trouble free."

"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."

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

"Working with the AirMart team to sell my 206 was quite a pleasure! Tom Ferguson and Heather Hammond were very responsive, and delivered excellent results."

"The staff at Airmart were all very professional, knowledgeable and courteous. They made it very easy to buy my first plane. I would recommend them highly."

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 must say that you guys have really exceeded every expectation I could have ever hoped for. Absolutely tremendous service! I was very pleased on how you so accurately described the Commander and how far and above you went to make it a presentable airplane. So often today it seems as though you pay too much and get little in return, not so with you guys!! I'm just amazed at how accommodating everybody was during my visit. Honest, friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. Even the Title Company you used was a pleasure to work with. I can not emphasize enough on how pleased I was with every aspect of the transaction! Beautiful facilities as well!"

"I just want to congratulate you on a job well done. I absolutely love the C182S that I purchased. I had been searching for just the right C182 for over a year, however, I had just not been satisfied with what I had seen. Then I came across your company. I spoke with Grant, and he immediately went to work to find the perfect C182 for me. Grant took the time to talk with me about what I wanted and needed in an airplane. He really helped me to narrow my search to the C182S series. He then kept in contact with me regarding what he had and what airplanes might be coming into his inventory. He worked very hard to keep me informed, and he always seemed happy to answer my many questions. I always felt that he had my best interests at heart. The airplane that he found for me flies like a dream and continues to be a delight to own. I am very happy that I bought it! Thank you, again, for doing such a great job. I enthusiastically recommend AirMart to everyone I know who is buying or selling an airplane."

"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 have used the services of AirMart for several years and several transactions. The products the sell are top notch. They deliver what they say. I recommend them highly!"

"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 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 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. 

"My experience with AirMart was outstanding. The process, level of involvement of the staff; and the overall experience was great! The transaction was simple and Heather kept me informed during the entire process. I appreciated the attention to detail and their ability to work with me for the best deal. Great job!"

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.

"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"

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 handled my Malibu sale from start to finish in a professional manner. The marketing efforts were first class. Their control of the entire process was very well done.

Thanks to the staff at AirMart for making the purchase of my Cessna Cardinal so easy. They answered all my questions promptly no matter if I called during working hours or called after hours or even on the weekend. Great professional service and courtesy. True customer service and satisfaction is hard to find these days, but not at AirMart.

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

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

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.

"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!"

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.

"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!"

Paul and AirMart were efficient and helpful at marketing my plane and getting me my asking price. Everyone at AirMart made the transaction easy.

"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!

"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! "

“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 wanted to take a moment to comment on the outstanding experience purchasing Cessna 172S. I could not have asked for better treatment as a client/customer. I coordinated the sale through Adam Mabry with an assist from Annie on the administrative side and their professionalism, courtesy and enthusiasm throughout the process was a 1st class act. The experience reflects highly on them, the company leadership, and AirMart. Special thanks also go to the Maintenance staff for getting the airplane in beautiful condition mechanically and aesthetically for the trip home. I also tip my hat in thanks for going above and beyond in taking care of the customer (me) and remedying a non-required (per contract) maintenance issue post-buy. AirMart's act of under-promising and over-delivering was surprisingly refreshing and made me feel important and appreciated as a client. Thanks to Adam, Annie and the rest of the AirMart Team. I'll be back and will be referring friends.

"It was a pleasure working with Air Mart on our aircraft purchase. The staff was professional and helped me with all my needs. I would highly recommend them."

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.

"My experience with AirMart was fantastic! Grant was responsive in answering my initial questions and throughout the entire transaction. He was up-front about the ECI cylinder AD and kept me up to date with the in-progress annual inspection results. There was no question about addressing any issues with the plane. The aircraft was in meticulous condition inside and out. I flew it home to Seattle from Lexington without a single issue. This was my first purchase after not flying for 8 years, so I was a bit nervous about the purchase. AirMart came highly recommended by other well-known brokers and this delivery confirmed everything that was said. I purchased this Bonanza after months of discovery on ASO.COM, Controller and Trade-a-Plane. The detailed spec-sheets, pictures, video and pre-posted log books made my research tremendously easier and saved both of us a lot of time. When I contacted Grant I knew this was one of my final 2 choices. The transparency and effort AirMart put into marketing this plane made my final decision much easier! I will definitely contact AirMart when I’m ready to upgrade!"

“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!”

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.

AirMart exceeded my expectations. My plane was sold in about three weeks, and for the amount I was expecting, and in this terrible economy. I was extremely happy with AirMart. The transaction was handled in a very professional manner. It's nice to deal with professionals.

"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."

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

"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"

"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."

"You were patient and helpful in choosing the Archer III because I hadn't owned an airplane for 20 years and wasn't sure what I wanted. You then sold me an airplane that is perfect for my needs at a reasonable price. After I got home with the plane and found that an antenna was defective, you insisted on paying for the repair. I don't think you could have done better, and I can't imagine buying an airplane from anyone else."

“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”

“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.”

"Selling my Archer through Airmart was not only easy but surprisingly quick. After being advertised on Airmart's website for only two days I received an offer on my plane which exceeded my expectations. Many thanks to Heather Hammond and to Tom Ferguson for their competent and pleasant handling of this transaction!"

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.

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

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

"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."

"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!"

"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 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!"

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

“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.”

"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!"

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