When selling an aircraft, most owners focus on price and commission.

But the real driver of outcome? Time.

Every additional month on the market adds:

Fixed operating costs
Maintenance & management expenses
Capital costs
Asset depreciation

In our modeled example, reducing the sales timeline by just four months led to nearly $400,000 in improved net outcome—even after higher broker fees.

This shifts the conversation:
It’s not just “What does the broker cost?”
It’s “What does delay cost?”

However, execution matters.
An underperforming broker can extend timelines—and increase total cost.

Key takeaway:
The value of representation comes down to one thing:
👉 Does it accelerate the sale and protect asset value?
