Call me
to discuss any plane on my web site.
Please
call me at 763-389-9399 to discuss any
plane on my web site, or if I can help you find what you are looking for. I'll
be glad to tell you what I know about the aircraft listed on our web site, and
usually know where to locate just about any make and model.
Some of the aircraft on my site are courtesy listings for other
dealers or brokers, and they know much more about the plane than I do. I'll be
glad to give you their phone number, so you can contact them directly, or I can
have them call you. Usually, brokers do not allow contact with the owner
without a deposit, or until the pre-purchase inspection or closing.
Become a "qualified
buyer".
I'm happy to provide basic information to all
callers, but additional photos, copies of logs, telling you exactly where the
plane is, or putting you in contact with the owner or mechanic, is reserved for
qualified buyers.
As far as I know, there are only three ways to
separate qualified buyers from those only mildly interested:
- You are a known aircraft dealer or broker
- I sold you a plane before
- You show me the money

. | | How the Buying Process
Works.
Once you and I discuss the plane, and you
are ready to go forward with the purchase:
- I will contact the Seller immediately and let him know I have a buyer,
and a Purchase Agreement is being prepared.
- I will fax you the Purchase Agreement for your review, signature, and
fax back to me.
- Your signed contract is faxed to the seller for his signature, and when
I get it back, I will fax you a copy.
- I will put you in direct contact with the Seller, and find a mechanic
you can hire for a Pre-Buy Inspection.
VERY
IMPORTANT! Sometimes a buyer will "jump the gun"
and buy a non-refundable airplane ticket to go see the plane, before we get a
signed Purchase Agreement back from the Seller, only to discover the plane was
sold to someone else, or was pulled from the market. So,
please wait before buying a plane ticket. I can't be responsible for
airline tickets.
- If you need financing, I can put you in touch with a qualified lender,
and often you can apply online. Lenders will handle the title work, but if you
are a cash buyer, we can arrange to have a Title Search done. We can also
recommend an insurance agent to give you a quote on coverage, and, of course,
you may have your own sources.
- When your Pre-Purchase Inspection is completed, and you are ready to
close the transaction, we will assist as needed to compete the transaction.
- If you require a Ferry Pilot to deliver the plane, we can arrange it.
The cost is very reasonable, and usually cheaper than what it would cost you to
go get the plane.
Show me the money.
I earn a fee from the owner when a prospect that I refer purchases
the plane. If you will deposit that fee with me, I will work with you to
complete the transaction. Because the owner has agreed to pay me, your deposit
is deducted from the price of the airplane, and is refunded if you do not buy.
If
needed, I can help arrange financing, insurance, ferry pilots, lien searches,
or title company services.
Sending us a deposit is
easy to do.

Refund Policy
If you purchase the plane, or are involved in the purchase
of the plane for others, I've earned my fee.
If you do not purchase
the plane, I will refund your deposit. Once you've had a chance to visit with
the owner, or go see the airplane, and if you decide you are definitely not
interested, just call me, and I will send you a refund. Our contract states that
refunds will be made within 10 days of date of request. If you go see the
plane, or have someone inspect the plane for you, and then decide not to buy, I
will refund 100% of the deposit. On the other hand, if you simply change your
mind, without having the plane inspected, or other circumstances prevent you
from buying, we will refund 75% of the deposit. And, if you commit to buy to
the plane and then default, or go past the closing date without mutual extension
by all parties, the deposit if forfeited.
Am I qualified to sell you
a plane?
I sure hope so, after 35 years in the
banking business, where aircraft lending, including dealer floorplan, was a big
part of my lending career. I've been involved in the sale of aircraft on the
Net since 1996, and maintain web sites for other dealers, in addition to my own.
My reputation is good, and I will be glad to
give you references, both individual sellers and dealers we work with, and
buyers I've helped find the right plane.
I am easy to get in touch
with.
After taking early retirement from
banking in 1993, I work from my home office, and can be reached early and late,
7 days a week at:
763-389-9399 Phone 707-313-1283 Fax Email
I look forward to hearing
from you !
