Buy or sell an airplane with a mechanic on your side.
Most brokers can market an airplane. Few can actually read one. As an FAA A&P/IA and a broker agent for Seitz Aviation — the Pacific Northwest's premier aircraft broker — I bring both: the marketing reach and closing muscle of an established brokerage, plus a mechanic personally evaluating condition and records on every deal.
Whichever side of the deal you're on.
Brokerage runs both directions — and either way, you get a mechanic-broker who knows what the airplane actually is, not just how to photograph it.
List it. Market it. Sell it.
- A realistic, defensible valuation based on true condition and the logbooks — not wishful thinking
- Professional marketing and reach through Seitz Aviation's established brokerage platform
- A mechanic's write-up that documents a clean airplane so buyers pay with confidence
- Escrow, title & closing handled professionally, start to finish
Find it. Vet it. Close on it.
- Access to current listings and the brokerage's market network
- An A&P/IA reading the records before you commit — damage history, ADs, the gotchas
- Straight answers on condition and real cost of ownership
- Want it done for you end-to-end? See the buyer's agent service
Backed by Seitz Aviation.
I broker as an agent for Seitz Aviation — the Pacific Northwest's premier aircraft broker, with worldwide coverage and a track record of turning "for sale" into "SOLD." You get their brokerage platform, marketing, and closing process — combined with a mechanic who personally inspects and stands behind the airplane. It's the best of both: real brokerage horsepower and real hangar knowledge.

I read the logbooks myself
Every airplane's story is in its records. I evaluate the maintenance history, AD compliance, and damage history personally — so a sale is documented and honest, and a purchase holds no surprises.
Pricing grounded in reality
I know what the repairs and upcoming maintenance actually cost, so the valuation reflects the real airplane. Sellers price defensibly; buyers don't overpay.
Every deal through escrow
Purchases and sales run through professional aircraft escrow with a proper title and lien search — so money is protected and no surprise liens follow the airplane.
A real aircraft owner
I live on an airfield, own and fly my own airplane, and work on these aircraft for a living. That perspective is on your side of the table for the whole transaction.
A clear path to sold — or bought.

We start with a conversation and a realistic valuation of your airplane — or your buying goals and budget.

Inspect & document

Frequently asked
Do you broker aircraft yourself?
Yes — I work as a broker agent for Seitz Aviation, the Pacific Northwest's premier aircraft broker. Your sale or purchase runs through an established brokerage with real market reach and a proven closing process, while you get an A&P/IA mechanic personally handling condition and records.
What does it cost to sell my aircraft?
Brokerage is commission-based and depends on the aircraft and the deal, handled through Seitz Aviation. Reach out for a no-obligation valuation and we'll walk through what your airplane should list for and how the commission works — no pressure.
Why use a mechanic as a broker?
Most brokers can market an airplane; few can read one. As an A&P/IA I evaluate the airframe, engine, and logbooks myself. Sellers get a documented, defensible airplane that buyers trust; buyers know exactly what they're getting. Condition and records are where deals are priced, won, and lost.
Can you help me buy instead of sell?
Absolutely. Through the brokerage I help buyers evaluate and close on listed aircraft. And if you want it done for you — a full search where I run the whole mission and vet every candidate's records — see my buyer's agent / acquisition service.
Do I need to be in the Pacific Northwest?
No. Seitz Aviation has worldwide coverage, and records review is done remotely. We work with buyers and sellers well beyond the Northwest.
