"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."

“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!"

"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.

“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”

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.

"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."

“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.”

"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!"

“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!”

"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."

"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."

“This was a straightforward and well-coordinated sale of my aircraft. Everyone involved was friendly, efficient and professional. Communications were great and the system to ensure funds and title transfer were seamless. No one was “pushy”… plenty of flexibility and willingness to work on my schedule. Given the professionalism, technical competence, and straight shooting style, I’d consider AirMart first for either buying, or selling, an aircraft!”

"This is my third occasion to work with AirMart for an aircraft transaction. AirMart did not have in its inventory, the aircraft I wanted but Heather was willing to spend a considerable amount of time locating my preferred make and model. After locating that specific aircraft from another broker, she was able to negotiate a very fair purchase price. She then explained the differential costs and benefits of AirMart accepting my current aircraft on a trade-in basis versus signing a broker agreement. I chose the trade-in option and was more than satisfied with the very efficient transactions which involved arranging for a pre-buy inspection, flying the new aircraft to Lexington for a final inspection and detailing, and then AirMart picking up the trade-in at my home airport and delivering my new aircraft to my home airport. I purchased my first aircraft 35 years ago (a '47 Ercoupe) with no purchase agreement, no pre-buy, no title search, and no test flight. Let's just say I have since learned the value of those items after making several purchases of light general aviation aircraft throughout those 31 years. I have also learned to let AirMart do it for you - They make it easy!"

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

“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 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.

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.

"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!"

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

"As a first time airplane buyer I was very apprehensive. I had help and guidance from AOPA and from my friends and my instructor at my local FBO. But I was very fortunate to come upon an airplane that was listed with Jeff Ray through AirMart. I had several terrific conversations with Jeff and he gave me more than simply information about his listings. He also listened to my needs and wants and he also gave me a great deal of practical advice and guidance about the entire purchase process. I believe Jeff is a man of integrity which was hard to find in my previous dealings with other brokers and owners. Once we put the plane under contract I had the pleasure of dealing with Shelby at AirMart who was wonderful and helpful. I know I will be doing business again with AirMart in the future. I can highly recommend that you do the same!"

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.

"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."

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 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."

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.

“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.”

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

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

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.

“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.”

"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 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."

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

"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 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.”

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.

Having recently made the agonizing decision to sell my beloved Cherokee SIX 260, I decided to solicit Air Mart to facilitate the sale. The aircraft served me well over the years providing speedy transportation for myself, my wife and all five children up and down the east coast. From start to finish the folks at Air Mart were professional, courteous, and knowledgeable, after legal paperwork and advertisement they had people standing in line to buy. Thanks so much Bob and Annie for a great job. PS: might see you guys in the spring for something smaller...

"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."

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

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’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"

"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!"

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!

"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!"

“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 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!

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!

"My experience with AirMart was sensational. Everyone involved were helpful and courteous. AirMart made the process easy and quick. Thanks to you all!"

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!

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

“I was very pleased with buying my Cessna 310K from AirMart. My son and I arrived on a commercial flight and Adam was at the airport terminal to pick us up. When we arrived at AirMart their team was cooking outside on the grill and my son and I had lunch with them. Adam went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. He sent his mechanic out to answer all our questions.   My son and I had a good time at AirMart . The flight home to Cleveland in the Cessna 310K we purchased was uneventful,  I would not hesitate to refer anybody to do business with AirMart.”

"I would like to say a big “Thank You” to everybody at AirMart. I have purchased a good number of airplanes (new and used) over the last MANY years. Most of the experiences have been pretty good. Unfortunately, a few have been not so good. The professional approach by the whole gang at AirMart has made the buying experience just plain fun! If the flying Gods deem that there is another airplane in my future, then I’m calling Grant and the gang to make it happen. Thanks for all of your collective professionalism."

"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!"

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.

"You guys did a great job selling my 2006 Cirrus SR-22! I was very attached to the airplane. I purchased it new from the factory. I have 9 years of amazing memories flying this airplane all over the USA. The pros at AirMart love aviation and understand the emotional attachment its buyers and sellers have to their airplanes. It is a love affair that most of us began in childhood. When our newborn gets a little older we will call on AirMart to find the perfect Cirrus again!"

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

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.

"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!"

"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 team at AirMart is VERY professional and accommodating. We had a very complicated transaction, but they stayed on top of it and ahead on communications. I always knew what to expect. If I didn’t know, a quick phone call made me feel very comfortable. AirMart made sure I knew what I was getting and helped me feel very good about my decision. Well done team AirMart!”

“I have personally owned seven aircraft.  This was my second airplane from a broker and my first time using an escrow service.  Everything AirMart did was first class and everyone who worked there was absolutely focused on making the process smooth and easy for me.  There was never any pressure.  It was a laser focus on how to make the process work for me.  It was a pleasure buying a plane from them.  I want to personally thank Adam for being straight with me about the plane I was buying.  There were no surprises when I flew away.  I also want to thank Annie, who works diligently in the background, making sure everything works.  All in all, a great experience.”

"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."

"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."
