For buyers
Acquisition.Acquisition.
Most of what we place is never advertised.
An acquisition client tells us the mission, not the model. We search the market and the part of it that is not a market: aircraft whose owners will sell to the right buyer and would never list. Then we verify what we find, and we negotiate it.
The Aerista pitch
Why buyers use a broker at all.
Access
Acquisition clients see off-market and inbound aircraft first. In a market this thin, that is usually the whole difference.
Valuation
We price from our own transaction record, not from a book. You will know what an aircraft is worth before you make an offer on it.
Focus
We do not run a shop, a school or an FBO. There is nothing else for us to sell you.
The Aerista process
How an acquisition runs.
Define
Mission first. Range, runway, weather, passengers, who flies it and how often. The model follows from that, and it is frequently not the one you arrived with.
Search
A targeted search of every appropriate aircraft, listed or not. We make the calls that turn an unlisted aircraft into an available one.
Verify
The right facility for the pre-buy, a thorough test flight, and logbooks read properly. Most of what we find in an inspection is negotiable. Some of it should end the deal.
Close
Post-inspection negotiation, discrepancy credits, closing documents, delivery, subscriptions and monitoring. The part where transactions go wrong is the part we do most often.
“I was introduced to Aerista by an executive at One Aviation who referred to them as the best in the business. I have worked with other aircraft brokers in the past, however I found Aerista to be the most professional, most organised, and the most fair.”
