Welcome

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.

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

"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!"

"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."

"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 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."

“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!"

"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."

"My experience with your company was above expectations. In a day and time when most companies and/or people don't always fulfill their obligations, you did that and more. Thank you so much for the smooth transaction. I would definitely do business with AirMart again and recommend you to my friends."

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

"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."

"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."

"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!"

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!

"Dealing with AirMart was a most pleasurable experience. The fellows who came to look at my plane were extremely courteous and forthright as they conducted their evaluation. They photographed my log entries and transmitted the images to their corporate HQ who made me a fair and reasonable offer, and we were able to close the deal on the spot. I recommend AirMart to anyone who is looking to buy or sell an aircraft."

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.

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.

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

"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."

“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.”

"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."

"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!"

"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!"

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 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"

“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 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."

"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!"

"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!"

"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 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."

"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!

AirMart exceeded my expectations. My plane was sold in about three weeks, and for the amount I was expecting, and in this terrible economy. I was extremely happy with AirMart. The transaction was handled in a very professional manner. It's nice to deal with professionals.

"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 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."

"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."

"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."

“As first time aircraft purchasers the amount of paper work, inspections, etc., etc. was a bit daunting. Fortunately, the AirMart team has been through this process enough to help us feel comfortable from beginning to end. A friendly, knowledgeable staff covered all the bases start to finish. It was a pleasure to meet the phone and email “voices” face to face in Lexington when we took delivery. A very nice facility. We would definitely consider using AirMart if we ever consider selling or trading in the future.”

I just completed, I think, my fifth deal with AirMart, and as always they were very professional and made the process quick and easy. I traded in my 2012 Cirrus SR20 for a 2016 Cirrus SR22 and as in the past, the new plane was exactly in the shape as they had represented it. In fact every plane I have purchased from AirMart has always been in outstanding shape. It is always a pleasure to do business with them and why I always contact them first when looking to sell or purchase a plane.

"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."

"I just wanted to say how pleased I was with the entire process surrounding the sale of N2164Z. Every aspect of the transaction either met, or exceeded my expectations. If someone were to ever ask me if I would do business with AirMart again, I would enthusiastically say yes."

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.

“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!”

"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."

"Once again I contacted AirMart to assist me in selling my Cirrus SR22. I have purchased one plane and sold two planes with the help of AirMart and through each of these experiences, I have been completely satisfied. Their staff is always very professional and helpful which makes them very easy to do business with. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a quality airplane at a fair price, or just wanting to get a fair price for their airplane."

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.

The folks at AirMart made the purchase experience of our new aircraft a pleasant one. Very accurate, timely and efficient. Thanks to Adam and Annie.

"You guys were professional, made the process simple and easy. Returned my calls and answered all my questions and concerns in a timely fashion. Outstanding customer service team. Thank you for assisting in purchasing an aircraft, we will look forward to doing business again with you."

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

"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."

"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."

"Tom and Heather did a great job and it was very nice meeting with your whole crew. Everyone there makes it a very friendly atmosphere to be in. I am looking forward to working with you again on another deal."

"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!"

"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 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 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”

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 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!"

"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."

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

"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."

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.

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”.

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

My family and I recently purchased our first airplane from AirMart and they made the entire experience a pleasure from start to finish. Bob went above and beyond in making a complicated process feel simple and approachable; he was proactive, available night and day, and completely transparent and accurate in all of our correspondence. Bob and the AirMart team worked around our schedule and made us feel like we were their most valuable client. I highly recommend doing business with AirMart.

"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 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.

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

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.

"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’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 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."

"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."

"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."

“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.”

"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."

"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."

Dear Air Mart, I finally took delivery of my Saratoga yesterday, 96 days after the first email to Adam asking if the plane was still available. You might think that it was a disappointing delay, but it is not at all. Every step of the way, I knew that all of the hands that touched this deal had my best interests in mind. It simply took that long to make it all perfect. I emailed Adam for the first time on December 1st, and by the 7th it was clear that AirMart had a tough combination: a less-than-helpful seller and a first-time buyer. Adam was patient and helpful with all my questions, and helped navigate the line between my inspection demands and the seller's reluctance to move the plane. When it was time to press some issues, he moved the process up a level to Grant, who helped get the seller to understand my position. Because of that, I felt confident that AirMart as a whole was working to facilitate the deal. At the pre-buy inspection, I actually rejected the plane. There was some corrosion that was repairable, but was beyond what I was ready to take on as a first-time buyer. Adam seemed disappointed, but I felt like it was for me, not because there would be no deal or commission. AirMart and Annie closed down the transaction smoothly and without a hint of pressure to stay in it. As much as anything, I was really pleased that all Adam had to say about it was that he was sorry, that there was a plane out there for me, and AirMart would keep looking. He did casually mention there were two 6X's available... I licked my pre-buy wounds and headed home on the 18th. I didn't know it, but Adam was still working on making things happen. After a few phone calls, I found out on the 24th that AirMart had worked it out. The seller would make the repairs to the plane, and the deal was on! We closed on the 26th and the plane was mine. It spent a couple of months in the care of Charles McGaughy at Mack Air in Shelbyville, TN--a shop I chose but who Adam knew and supported as a skilled and careful A&P. Charles repaired the belly corrosion along with all the other bits to make the plane perfect, and he delivered it to me here in Jacksonville on a bluebird day that was perfect for the first flight around town.
