Selling an Aircraft
Promotion and Marketing:
To locate retail buyers for a client, we place advertisements
in appropriate journals and publications, and send promotional material to reach
the 7,000 plus owners and operators of turbine powered, business aircraft on our
mailing list. We also activate a carefully targeted telephone marketing
program.
Photographs are taken of a client's aircraft for use in a
promotional brochure and other advertising. The brochure is sent to those buyers
whom we believe to be both qualified and seriously interested.
Prospective Buyer Management:
We seek out and identify all retail buyers, provide them with a
brochure on a client's aircraft and actively encourage interest. All inquiries
are handled by us; to insure a client's full control over the sale, broker
"registrations" are not taken.
Showing the Aircraft:
We arrange for and conduct showings. Prospective buyers are
qualified before they are invited to see an aircraft, and extensive
demonstration flights are discouraged.
Negotiations:
Our office conducts negotiations on a client's behalf. Our
client is kept fully informed of our progress through frequent consultations. No
prices or terms are agreed to without a client's authorization.
Progress Reports:
The client receives timely progress reports regarding our
marketing effort in general and the status of each prospective buyer in
particular.
Contracting and Closing:
We work closely with the client and the client's attorneys and
tax advisors in preparing a contract of sale that protects the client's
interests. The responsibility of coordinating the delivery and closing is ours.
