After months of trying to sell two CJ1+ aircraft through another broker — and seeing nothing but low-ball offers — Chase Headman, a local fleet operator, turned to The Jet Agent for a new approach. Although he initially chose to split the listings between two brokers, our team stepped in with a clear strategy and deep market insight.
Within 30 days, Jon had one of the CJ1+ jets under contract. Even without exclusivity on the second aircraft, he helped connect the right buyer — proving our reach and influence in the Citation market.
The result: both CJ1+ aircraft sold faster and for more value than the previous six months of stalled efforts — including one aircraft sold in just 98 days in a market where the average was 218 days on market.
For owners who feel stuck with a lingering listing, this case shows how expert representation and true market intelligence can completely change the outcome.
“After months of trying to sell two CJ1+ aircraft through another broker—with nothing but low-ball offers—I reached out to the Jet Agent, feeling frustrated and ready for a new approach. I told Jon I wanted to split the listings between two brokers, despite his recommendation to keep them together. We moved forward with the split.
Within 30 days, Jon had one of the aircraft under contract. Even more impressively, he played a key role in connecting the buyer for the second aircraft, despite not having the exclusivity on that listing. In the end, both aircraft sold faster and for more value than we’d seen in over the previous six months of efforts.
Jon’s results speak for themselves.”
