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

"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!"

"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 have been flying for 10 years but I have always rented. When the time came to buy my first aircraft I wanted the experience to be seamless and trouble free. After I decided that the right aircraft for my mission and budget was a Piper Archer II I scanned the market for almost a year until I found the right one with AirMart. Since the moment I contacted them to the day I flew my Archer II away from their location at Lexington, they exceed my expectations at every step of the way. When the time is right to upgrade my newly acquired flying machine I know where to look first, AirMart."

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!

"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 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."

"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."

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 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 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."

"Thank you for the wonderful experience I had with the purchase of my 2002 Archer III. Heather Goeing did a great job of keeping me informed of the progress of the engine rebuild and painting that was performed on the plane prior to my purchase. This was my first aircraft purchase and hopefully will not be my last, but I would highly recommend AirMart to anyone."

"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."

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

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

"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!"

"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."

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

"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."

"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!"

"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 exceeded my expectations once again. This is my second purchase from them in less than 30 days. It was worth it to let them find what I was looking for while I concentrated on growing my business. AirMart is a first class operation and I recommend them to any body that values their time. Thank you to the entire staff."

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.

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.

"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."

"I am very happy with the service and communication with AirMart for the sale of my SR-20. I didn’t want any hassles, and that is the main reason I went with a broker. AirMart made it easy to send pictures and documents, and handled all the buyer hassles. The communication was just right – not too much, not too little, just regular brief and concise updates. AirMart’s knowledge of market pricing and negotiations made what I thought would be a high-stress transaction very simple and stress-free. AirMart was able to secure a purchase price that was 96% of my original asking price. I will recommend AirMart to anyone looking to sell an aircraft."

"I 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 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."

"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."

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 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!"

"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."

"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 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.”

"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!"

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.

"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!"

"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."

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

"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! "

"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!"

"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!"

"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."

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

"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."

“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!”

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.

"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."

“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!”

"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!"

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

"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."

“My experience with AirMart was seamless and stress free.  They handled all of the heavy lifting and got me what I was looking for from a price standpoint."

"I’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 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.

"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."

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

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

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 would like to thank Grant, Matt and the rest of your staff at AirMart for assisting me in selling my Cirrus. Each and every person on your team was professional and followed through with each and every step. I look forward to working with you all in the future."

“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”

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.

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

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. 

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.

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

"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."
