Yes, you can run
an ad and attempt to sell your own aircraft and avoid
paying a commission. But consider this:
-
Are you interested in handling
inquiries for 3-4 months; answering questions, sending
photos and logbook entry copies? Willing to dig
through the logbooks to answer specific questions that
the prospective purchaser or his mechanic have?
-
Is your airport easily accessed by
the airlines? The airlines are pulling out of smaller
towns or reducing the flights there. The remaining
flights will cost more.
-
Are you willing to spend 2-3 days
that is normally encountered in showing and
demonstrating the aircraft, managing the pre-purchase
inspection and the closing?
-
Does your location have a multitude
of mechanics and shops to choose from for the
pre-purchase inspection? Or will you need to fly it
somewhere?
-
Can you check the new owner out in
the airplane and sign off his logbook to meet
insurance requirements or required FAA endorsements?
-
Are you willing to deliver the
aircraft to the new owner as a condition of the
Purchase Agreement?
-
Can you provide a legal and binding
Purchase Agreement that protects your interests?
-
Can you take purchaser’s trade-in
or sell it for him?
-
Do you offer financing? Assist with
insurance? Hangar? Recommend companies that can paint,
refurbish, install avionics or overhaul the engine?
Metroplex Aviation can do all of these at no cost to
you!
All of the
details associated with an aircraft sale including the
Purchase Agreement, Bill of Sale, Aircraft Registration,
lien releases, bank drafts, wire transfers and escrow
closings are efficiently handled ensuring the buyer’s
confidence. A buyer is likely to be more comfortable in
a financial transaction with a reputable broker than
with an individual unknown to him.
Metroplex
Aviation does not have the conflict of interest that
many dealers have; and that is, I do not have numerous
new or used aircraft that I own and would rather sell
first. Ask yourself whether a one-man brokerage company
who has numerous aircraft listed for sale can
effectively market and sell your aircraft! At
Metroplex Aviation, your aircraft gets the attention
that it deserves.
My location in
Dallas, TX is easily accessible from almost anywhere in
the world. Dallas has two major airports and is located
midway between both coasts. Making it easier, less
costly and time consuming for the buyer to see and
inspect your aircraft means a quicker sale. The area
population is six million – lots of potential buyers
here.
You see, selling
your own aircraft is a lot more involved than running an
ad! Even if you have the time, you can’t offer the
advantages that I can.
