N586RJ - 1981 Cessna 182R Skylane

"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! "

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."

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

I highly recommend AirMart and the stellar team I worked with including Adam, Grant and Annie, to name a few. My first Cirrus purchase at AirMart was my first aircraft purchase ever. The buying experience was fantastic, especially considering my inexperience at buying an airplane for the first time. AirMart handled the process beautifully at all stages with excellent recommendations for financing, insurance, pre-buy, and transition instruction. I was even connected with a Cirrus Standardized Instructor Pilot (CSIP) for transition training under the Cirrus Embark program which was phenomenal and boosted my confidence and safety in operating my new airplane; as an added benefit, the cost of instruction was covered by Cirrus. When I landed at my home airport, I was greeted by compliments from my FBO friends for my great looking plane. For first time buyers or long-time owners, I strongly recommend the team at AirMart for their professionalism and support. You will be happy you went with AirMart!

"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."

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...

"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 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.

"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!"

"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!"

"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."

"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."

"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!"

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.

“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.”

"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 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!"

"AirMart was great and bent over backwards to make the deal go through smoothly and quickly. I hope to do business with AirMart again."

"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 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."

“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.”

“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 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.”

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

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.

"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."

"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."

"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."

“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!”

"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!

"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 must say that you guys have really exceeded every expectation I could have ever hoped for. Absolutely tremendous service! I was very pleased on how you so accurately described the Commander and how far and above you went to make it a presentable airplane. So often today it seems as though you pay too much and get little in return, not so with you guys!! I'm just amazed at how accommodating everybody was during my visit. Honest, friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. Even the Title Company you used was a pleasure to work with. I can not emphasize enough on how pleased I was with every aspect of the transaction! Beautiful facilities as well!"

"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."

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.

"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."

AirMart did a fantastic job selling my T210M. I got good advice on everything.. The sale happened quickly and went very smoothly and I couldn't be happier.

"You handled the transaction very professionally and I am very satisfied with your work. THANK YOU!"

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.

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.

"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."

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

"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."

"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!"

"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!"

"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."

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

"AirMart handled the sale of my DA40 quickly and professionally. I was very pleased and would highly recommend doing business with AirMart."

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

"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."

“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 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.

"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!"

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

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 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.”

"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!"

"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."

“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!"

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.

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 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 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."

“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.”

"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."

"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."

"I have used the services of AirMart for several years and several transactions. The products the sell are top notch. They deliver what they say. I recommend them highly!"

"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 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."

"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."
