October 24, 2008, Newsletter Issue #95: Using a Broker to Purchase an Aircraft

Tip of the Week

When you buy or sell a house, you go through a real estate agent. When you're considering buying or selling an aircraft, you can do it alone or use an aircraft sales broker. The advantages of working with a broker are significant. Brokers know the market, the current values of aircraft, the worldwide availability of various models, recent sales transactions and can negotiate on your behalf without the seller knowing your identity.

Brokers can also assist you in handling a simultaneous transaction of selling your current airplane, while buying a new model. This ensures that you are not left without air transportation, if that’s important to you. They can also assist you by chartering you a plane before your new aircraft is ready to fly you.

Brokers have only one interest in mind, and that is yours. They act as your agent and will negotiate the best deal on your behalf. Since they do this for a living they can be much more effective than someone who only does this every once in a while.
