Expert Guidance

The aviation industry has reached many peaks and valleys over the years. It’s important to work with someone that is aware of the current trend of the market – and more specifically, how that applies to your aircraft and situation.

Detailed aircraft micro-sites

Take our brief aircraft survey so that we can collect any relevant data about that aircraft in order to get it marketed correctly. Once you submit your plane to us for activation, our technology and design team will come in to make your listing shine in it’s best light. We’ll spot equipment you missed, re-arrange your photos and even write blurbs about the condition of the aircraft.

Never talk to an unqualified buyer

Every aircraft listed with us is fully managed, meaning once you provide us the relevant information you will never have to pick up the phone for a prospective buyer and end up in a “will you do this, will you take that” session. We handle all of that for you and we even take into consideration your life circumstances.. not just what the airplane is worth.

Everything you need, nothing you don't

Many aircraft sales services charge you for the overhead of running their businesses. We strive to build very efficient systems which helps to drive our operating cost much lower than traditional dealers and brokers. We pass that cost savings on to you!

No long term commitments

Our agreements are simple and straightforward. You agree to hire us exclusively to manage the sale of your aircraft. Change your mind? Not a problem – just give us a 30 days heads up.

It really is a no brainer

We guarantee you’ll be happy with our service. We love what we do and we’re good at it. You have everything to gain and nothing to lose.

How it works

1. Create an account and tell us about your plane

Once you’ve created your free account, you’ll have the tools to get started. Complete the online questionnaire to get us information about your plane so we can help you in the best way possible. Just answer the questions and you’ll be on your way.

2. Submit your listing for activation

Once you request your listing to be activated, you’ll  be assigned a dedicated aircraft sales professional (we call him your “Wing-man”) who will visit with you about the value of your plane and any time constraints you may have. Together, we’ll create an overall strategy that will make sure the job gets done in a manner that is best for you. We call this a pre-launch consultation and it is well worth the time spent.

What’s your situation?

Every situation is unique. Your needs may not be the same as every other aircraft seller. That may sound strange, but think about it. Are you selling so you can upgrade to a bigger, faster aircraft? Maybe you already purchased a new one and you need the hangar space. It could be that you inherited the plane, have no idea what to do with it and you can’t even fly it. Maybe it’s just that you don’t fly that much and fail to see the point in continuing ownership. As you can see, each of these examples requires a very different strategy.

We focus on a customized solution designed to do what is best for you. Our team of professionals understands and can identify with a wide range of scenarios and are equipped to guide you down the right path.

What about the price?

The aviation industry has reached many peaks and valleys over the years. It’s important to work with someone that is aware of the current trend of the market – and more specifically, how that applies to your aircraft and situation. More than that, pricing is an art. Anyone who tells you exactly what your plane is worth is blowing at least a little smoke. Its worth what someone will pay for it when they will pay it. Here’s the challenge…price it high enough to not leave your hard earned money on the table, but low enough to get the job done. Our team understands the complexities of aircraft values, knows how to balance speed vs price and can help you choose the right strategy.

3. Turn on the autopilot

This is where the process is magical as your Wing-man takes the lead…no phone calls to take, no emails to answer and yet you have a buyer. The sorting process of locating the right person for your plane happens seamlessly. Just like a great autopilot, it’ll take you where you want to go effortlessly. Your Wing-man will let you know when there is a reasonable offer and if you accept it he’ll introduce you to the qualified buyer.

4. Wrap up the deal

Now it’s time to finalize the sale. The only thing we will need from you at this point s to make your plane available for an inspection and of course get ready to receive your money. That’s right, the buyer will be paying you directly.

 

Sale documentation can be very confusing on your own. What paperwork do I need? Where is the title to my plane? How will I be paid? These questions are just a few of many. The good news is that you don’t have to think about it at all. Once again, your trusty, and best friend by now Wing-man has your six. You don’t have to think about it at all. He will tell you exactly what you need to do and will prepare the necessary papers to complete the sale. He will also make sure that only trusted methods

What our Customers are saying...

We have had many attempts at selling our aircraft with only frustrating results, endless hours of answering questions, and in the end we still had the aircraft. We finally decided we needed help and found Virtual Airplane Broker. We quickly received a response when we requested a valuation of our aircraft which was provided with the listing. VAB researched a dozen of similar aircraft and gave us an informed idea of what each price point would do for us, and after the transaction was completed I realize he was spot on. After submitting pictures and describing the aircraft our job was complete. To my surprise we didn’t have to answer one phone call except the one where they explained that an owner has placed a deposit! As first time sellers of an aircraft the VAB team walked us through all the documents needed in the transaction and he even produced all the documents needed for the purchasers financing company. In my opinion I believe Virtual Airplane Broker provided an Awesome service for a more than fair, in addition to removing all the hassle and headache of selling an aircraft!!!

This is a story about selling a plane without professional help. It was 2013 when I really decided to sell my 1981 172P Cessna. I took on the task with one paid advertisement along with Craig’s List, on the paid ad most of the contacts were brokers offering half of the current value. The people calling from craigslist were mostly new pilots and student pilots so I spent a significant amount of time on the phone. I ended up selling the plane to someone who my mechanic knew and referred me to. I had learned of Virtual Airplane Broker during the early part of the sale in which the airplane sold. I wish I knew of this program a lot earlier it would have saved me an enormous amount of grief. I showed the airplane to 23 different people, took a countless number of phone calls, and spent a lot of time researching the current value. My experience selling an airplane as an individual was a nightmare and I wouldn’t do it or recommend anyone to do it. The plane sold on 1-29-15 which was a two year job for me. I highly recommend contacting VAB for help. You will be glad you did.

Working with Virtual Airplane Broker has been a totally positive experience. Your understanding of our situation as well as your grasp of the used airplane market enabled us to sell our Piper Archer within a week’s time. Not only that, but you simplified every step of the process so that we could deal with the important health issues here and not worry about creating ads, dealing with potential buyers or sales contracts. It is nice doing business with people offering a legitimate service for a realistic and fair price. As the movie states, ” build it and they will come.” It seems that this is already the case for you. Your friendly voice and caring manner endeared you to us. Dan and I feel lucky to have found you and wish you and your new business all the very best.
