The best aircraft are rarely advertised.

Make Your Purchase Seamless
Reduce your risk, frustration and time to purchase.
Prepurchase inspections were in our favor.
“With Denise’s assistance, my company was able to acquire three new aircraft and establish a new flight department. She managed every aspect of the acquisitions, negotiating favorable prices for each aircraft and ensuring that the prepurchase inspections were in our favor.
Denise also proved instrumental in recommending an excellent flight department manager and remains a valuable ongoing resource as we continue to develop our business aviation strategy.
Above all, Denise’s commitment to prioritizing our safety and securing reliable aircraft was truly exceptional. I wholeheartedly recommend her acquisition services to anyone seeking assistance in establishing a new flight department or upgrading their existing aircraft.”
The best aircraft are rarely listed publicly.
Most of the Citations I sell are sold privately, or “off-market”. In 2022, as many as 80% of transactions that occurred were off or pre-market sales.
I keep in constant contact with Citation owners so that I know when they plan to move out of their current aircraft, opening opportunities for your purchase.
But it’s not just about finding the best jet for you:
You need to know what to do with the jet when you get it.
That’s where my expertise and over 20 years of experience come in. You won’t find yourself on the day of delivery wondering, “What do I do now?”
Relying solely on “Controller” is a waste of time as most planes are already sold or don’t have asking prices.
The inexperienced and non-specialized just rely on “Controller”. This will just waste your time and give you the wrong expectation about which aircraft are available to you.
Using an agent who doesn’t specialize in just Citation jets will mean you end up paying too much.
An agent who doesn’t know Citation jets intimately won’t know what to look for or what questions to ask. Citation jets are all I focus on. I won’t miss anything!
What about insurance? It can be hard to get this right.
Don’t worry, my connections and knowledge will ensure we locate the right coverage in almost every circumstance.
“My relationships with aircraft owners and other industry partners means I have an edge in locating difficult-to-find aircraft. ”
