Using a Buyer’s Agent in aircraft purchasing is a fairly recent development. Cody Welch pioneered this practice in Michigan in the 1980’s and has grown his business over the past few decades.


Our teams acquisition service is always a flat fee based on the size and complexity of the aircraft. We are NOT paid by the seller; we work ONLY for the Buyer. The use of a sophisticated buyer’s agent levels the playing field for an aircraft shopper. 


Armed with the appraisal of every aircraft currently on the market, a buyer can make a well informed decision. In many cases our clients know a given market BETTER than the sellers. This is a powerful advantage and allows the client to achieve the best value in the marketplace.



The process includes the following information:

  • Aircraft Needs Analysis
  • Rates various aircraft according to your specific needs & desires
  • Establishes values for every aspect of the aircraft purchase
  • Rating Points Analysis
  • Specifications & Value Matrix establishes Fair Market Value for aircraft of choice
