The SkyAssist Aircraft Broker System...

...America's only "Flat Fee/Full-Service"
aircraft brokerage service

We're a full-service aircraft brokerage. As your exclusive sales agent, we will handle all the details and do all the work needed to sell your plane in as little time as possible. While other brokers charge 7-10% of the selling price, we charge one flat fee for more comprehensive services. $4995 sells any single, $6995 any twin, $11995 any turbine. You don't pay until it sells!

As your broker, here's what we'll do for you:

• Create The Most Detailed "Spec Sheet" In The Industry: We're constantly getting compliments on our aircraft presentations! When we describe an aircraft to prospective buyers, we strive to give them all the information they need to make up their minds right now. [See example.] We want even buyers shopping for aircraft in the middle of the night to see your plane and have all their questions answered. 
   

• Create Eye-Catching Print Advertisements: Over the years, we've learned what works best to attract prospects, and we'll put this knowledge to work for you in ads describing your plane. We'll keep ads running in Trade-a-Plane, Controller and General Aviation News.
   

• Provide Buyers With Our Toll-Free Number: SkyMachines insulates you from having to take annoying or inappropriate calls at all hours of the day or night. We are experienced telephone sales consultants, and our proven sales techniques insure that we'll get you top-dollar for your airplane. 
   

• Shield You From "Tire Kickers": One of our primary jobs is to protect your privacy and save you time. Our proven system weeds out "buyers" who aren't really serious.
   

• Get It In Writing: Some airplanes cost more than a house, yet people often buy and sell airplanes with a handshake. BIG MISTAKE. With inspections and a million things which can go wrong, it's important to make sure all aspects of the sale are handled in writing. SkyMachines has all the forms needed to protect your interests and prevent misunderstandings. 
   

• Negotiate With The Buyer: While we represent your interests, we also take a long term view of the sales process and endeavor to make sure all parties are completely satisfied with the deal. Often, this means we are "in the middle" and facilitating the negotiations—keeping everyone happy and the deal moving along, despite the roadblocks which inevitably develop.
   

• Prepare The Sale Documents: After you accept the buyer's offer and they have seen and test-flown the plane, we'll prepare our exclusive, 6-page Aircraft Purchase & Sale Agreement which thoroughly protects the interests of all parties involved. 
   

• Open And Facilitate Escrow: Once all parties have signed the Sale Agreement, we'll handle all the details of escrow. We use an independent aircraft title and escrow service in Oklahoma City to make sure everyone's interests are fairly represented. Required by most lenders, an escrow company administers the funds and records the documents with the FAA. (You and the buyer will split the $400-$500 independent escrow fee).
   

• Assist The Buyer With Locating Financing And Insurance. Part of making sure that the interests of all parties in a transaction are protected is helping the buyer figure out how to finance and insure the airplane. We work with many lenders and insurers across the country and keep the process moving.
   

• Assist The Buyer With The Pre-Purchase Inspection: We'll make the calls and coordinate everything for you and the buyer so that you don't have to spend your time dealing with it.
   

• Facilitate "Closing" Of The Sale: Upon mutual direction from you and the buyer, the earnest money deposit and the balance of the purchase price will be transferred to you...we don't get paid until you do, so you can rest assured that we'll do what it takes to make sure the sale goes through as painlessly as possible.

SkyAssist Is The Best Value Going!

Other brokers won't admit it, but it costs the same for them to sell any airplane, regardless of its selling price. Unlike brokers who charge 7-10% of the sales price, SkyMachines has reasonable flat fees for the SkyAssist brokerage program...so you'll know exactly what our services will cost up front.
