Selling Your Aircraft — Done Right

I specialize in selling single-engine and piston twin aircraft in today’s competitive general aviation marketplace. Selling an aircraft well requires sharp market knowledge, careful preparation, and the experience to guide a transaction from handshake to closing without costly surprises.

At BDK Aviation, I work exclusively on your behalf — your advocate, your filter, and your guide through every step. My focus is the single-engine and light twin market that make up the backbone of owner-flown aviation. I know these aircraft, and I know the buyers who want them.

When you list with BDK Aviation, you get a seasoned partner who brings modern tools and genuine market expertise to the sale of your aircraft, and one who treats it with the same care you’ve put into owning it.

Give me a call if you just want to talk about valuation, the market or more information.

What sets BDK Aviation apart:

To start, what sets BDK Aviation apart is how I establish your aircraft’s value.

I’ve developed a specialized capability using AI-assisted analysis to evaluate logbooks and maintenance histories with a thoroughness that traditional methods can’t match — surfacing value-adding factors others miss, and identifying anything that could become a buyer’s negotiating chip before it ever gets the chance.

Combined with a a technology-backed pricing strategy, you go to market with an asking price grounded in evidence, not guesswork — so you enter the market strategically — and you leave nothing on the table.
