"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 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!

“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!”

“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!"

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

“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.”

"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 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."

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.

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

“I am very happy with everyone at AirMart. Paul was awesome to work with. I definitely will work with AirMart in the future.”

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.

"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!

"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!"

"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!"

"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!"

"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."

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

“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 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!"

"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."

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

“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!”  

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 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."

"Places like AirMart are the reason why I prefer to work with family owned businesses. Not only was this the first airplane I ever purchased, I also had the crazy idea doing this at the same time as preparing for my PPL check-ride. Would it not have been for Paul and the whole AirMart crew, this process would have certainly been a much greater challenge. From the first contact till the day I actually picked up the airplane in person the best way to describe my experience with AirMart is "service, service, service". From scanned up-to-date logbooks, organizing pre-purchase checks, help with the paperwork to an eleventh hour free of charge repair. No email or phone call was ever left unanswered nor was there ever a doubt that I was not treated as a valued customer. Not even a national holiday deterred Paul from opening the doors for me after the earlier mentioned repair delayed the original pickup date by a few days on a tight schedule. Hopefully, the chance to purchase another airplane will present itself to me again in the future. If it does, AirMart's number will be the first one I will look up in my contacts. Thanks for making this one of the most pleasant experiences one can have."

"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!"

“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 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.”

"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 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."

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

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”.

"The staff at AirMart made buying my airplane hassle free and easy. I had a great experience. The airplane that I bought is not only perfect, but was in the exact condition as represented on the listing. I am very happy with the aircraft and the service, and would not hesitate to use AirMart again in the future."

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

"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!"

"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."

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

"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"

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...

"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!"

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 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.

“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.”

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

“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 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. 

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

“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 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."

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

"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!"

“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”

"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 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."

"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!"

"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 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.

"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."

"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."

"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."

“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 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!”

"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 am very pleased with AirMart for selling my plane. From the day you picked up the plane until the money was in the bank, it was handled very professionally. I felt AirMart was always working for the best of my interests and I fully trust AirMart. I highly recommend AirMart to anyone who wants to sell their airplane. I liked how you kept the instruments updated and the Annual Inspection done at Mustang Aviation at reasonable rates."

"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."

“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.”
