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.

"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!"

"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 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."

"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."

It was a pleasure to work with AirMart. My aircraft was sold quickly and efficiently.

"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."

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.

"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!"

"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!"

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

"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!"

"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."

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

"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."

Thank you for the wonderful experience I had selling my plane. Everything went very smoothly, and quickly. I sold my plane in a little over a week which was a lot less time than I expected.

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!

"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!"

"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."

"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 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."

"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!"

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

I 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.

"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."

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.

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

"The AirMart team did a great job from the beginning- very professional, always had my best interest. They did everything for me and I had no added trouble. Sold the plane in a great time frame. I look forward to working with them in future."

"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."

"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 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."

"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."

"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."

"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!"

"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!"

"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 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"

"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!"

"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."

"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 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."

"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."

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

"I would like to express my appreciation to the staff at AirMart for the wonderful customer service I received when purchasing my newly acquired Cherokee 6. Heather displayed the highest professionalism and provided the sound advice I needed in making the purchasing decision. From my initial inquiry about the aircraft to following up after the purchase, her friendliness, expertise, and attention to detail was second to none. Thank you for your quality customer service and if I purchase another aircraft, AirMart will be my first shopping stop."

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

"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."

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 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."

"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."
