Brokers

[Skymac]

So tired of dealing with Brokers, especially on light singles and twins under say $250k. What a waste. Call on an airplane, they generally don’t know anything about it, never seen it, blah blah….

Why can’t people better our industry and sell their own planes or quit using brokers that are terrible. I’ve spoken with a couple long standing operations this week and it’s like pulling teeth.

Rant over…

Why not get a buyer’s agent or, better yet join the type club and become active in it. WOM will provide opportunities that are never advertised or brokered.

Understand the frustration...
I'll likely use a broker to sell, though. Not interested in picking up every random phone call just to find out if they're semi-serious people.

I'd rather do that than let serious sellers move on to a different airplane because the broker doesn't know the item they are selling.

A good ad should cut down a lot a phone calls. I'd imagine you can tell if you have a serious buyer in the first two minutes. It likely take less time to deal with a few semi-serious people than it does to retain a broker and communicate with them.

Just to confirm, these are the brokers of these planes? If so, that’s pathetic service for those sellers.
