How Our Aircraft Brokerage Process Works
Selling your aircraft
- Valuation and pricing strategy. We price your aircraft using our market reports, recent comparable sales and its specific equipment, hours and maintenance status.
- Preparation. We review available logbooks and records to identify potential issues before the aircraft enters the buyer's inspection process.
- Marketing and buyer outreach. We market the aircraft to qualified buyers through our network, IADA channels and referral partners, discreetly when you need it.
- Negotiation and letter of intent. We negotiate price and terms on your behalf and manage the letter of intent and purchase agreement.
- Pre-purchase inspection. We oversee the pre-buy inspection and help resolve any findings.
- Escrow and closing. We coordinate escrow, title and the closing so funds and ownership transfer cleanly.
Buying an aircraft
- Mission and budget review. We start with how you'll fly: range, passengers, runways and budget, including operating costs.
- Search. We find on-market and off-market aircraft that fit, in the U.S. and abroad.
- Due diligence and valuation. We review records, maintenance programs and value trends so you know what an aircraft is really worth.
- Negotiation. We negotiate price and terms and manage the letter of intent and purchase agreement.
- Pre-purchase inspection. We oversee the inspection at a facility suited to the aircraft type.
- Closing and delivery. We coordinate escrow, registration and delivery.

Aircraft Brokerage FAQs
An aircraft broker represents a buyer or seller in an aircraft transaction. For sellers, that means pricing, marketing and negotiating the sale. For buyers, it means finding the right aircraft, checking its records and value, and negotiating the purchase. In both cases the broker coordinates the inspection, escrow and closing.
How much does an aircraft broker charge?
Brokerage fees are usually a commission based on the sale price or a flat fee agreed upfront, depending on the aircraft and the services involved. Our fee structure is explained upfront before an engagement begins.
Is it worth using an aircraft broker?
Nearly 90% of pre-owned aircraft buyers and sellers use a broker to complete their transactions. An experienced aircraft broker can provide market intelligence, transaction support, access to buyers and sellers, and guidance through inspections, negotiation, escrow and closing. Whether brokerage representation makes sense depends on the aircraft, transaction complexity and the client's experience.
A private jet broker helps clients buy or sell aircraft. A charter broker arranges flights on aircraft owned and operated by others. Holstein Aviation specializes in aircraft sales and acquisitions and can also assist with private jet charter.
How long does it take to sell a private jet?
On average, it takes 3 to 6 months, depending on the aircraft, its price and market demand. Accurate pricing and complete records are the two biggest factors we can control.
What does IADA accreditation mean?
The International Aircraft Dealers Association accredits dealers that meet its standards for ethics, transaction history and professionalism. Holstein Aviation is an IADA Accredited Dealer with 12 IADA Certified Brokers on staff.
