Deliver Exceptional Service, Maintaining Your Client Relationship
TRADE-INS CREATE CHALLENGES FOR BROKERS
You want to provide seamless solutions for your clients. But trade-ins often create frustrating roadblocks that can damage your relationships and reputation:
- Lack of Capital – Financing trade-ins feels impossible without significant upfront resources.
- Increased Complexity – Managing back-to-back deals adds unnecessary stress and can pressure you into compromising ethics.
- Missed Opportunities – Being unable to complete a trade mean saying no to deals you’d otherwise close.
- Reputation Risk – A single misstep or delay can erode the trust you’ve worked hard to build.
Trade-ins shouldn’t be a barrier to your success or your client’s satisfaction.

A SIMPLE PLAN FOR TRADE-INS
Navigating trade-ins doesn’t have to be complicated. With Meisner as your trusted partner, we simplify the process, protect your relationships, and help you deliver exceptional results.
Here’s how it works:

Tell Us About the Aircraft
(No Serial Number Required)
Start by sharing basic details about the trade-in opportunity. At Meisner Aircraft, we prioritize protecting the trust you’ve built with your clients. Confidentiality is at the core of our process—any information you share stays secure within our team, allowing you to explore opportunities without risking your reputation or client relationships.

We’ll Conduct an In-House Valuation
Our team will complete a thorough in-house valuation using our extensive market expertise. To ensure accuracy, we can follow up with an on-site visit to the aircraft. Our hands-on approach ensures precision, empowering you to deliver exceptional solutions to your client.

Receive Your Trade-In Offer
After completing the valuation, we’ll present a customized trade-in proposal designed to meet your client’s unique needs while protecting your commission. Meisner provides the financial capital necessary to facilitate trade-ins, eliminating barriers for brokers who can’t manage these opportunities independently. If your client is upgrading or transitioning to a new aircraft, we’ll seamlessly integrate this into the trade-in difference.

With Meisner’s financial backing and operational support, you’ve ensured every detail is handled seamlessly and with precision.

“Chris, thanks again for all the leg work you have done in my place. I talked to my owners last night and they are really happy with their purchase. I would really like to meet you guys soon. I have been involved in 6 aircraft purchases in my career as a pilot, and I have to say this was by far the most straight forward & upfront of any that I have been apart of. I have never met you or your family, but I felt that when you told me something – I could take it to the bank. I guess thats why i didn’t get nervous trading-in our old King Air to you and purchasing the Citation V without even seeing it before closing! Thanks Again!”

“Meisner Aircraft was flexible and responsive during the negotiations associated with the purchase of my Cessna Citation V aircraft. Their willingness to listen and adapt to my expectations were the key elements that made me comfortable purchasing the plane through Gary and Chris.
In addition, Gary showed creativity in working with his industry contacts, enabling us to create a lease deal that resulted in me making money! Not an easy task during the Great Recession”
Aircraft Transactions:
- Citation V (Sale)
-Esper A. Petersen,
Founder, Nordic Properties
“I have been a pilot for forty years and have dealt with Meisner Aircraft for the last 21 years. I have bought many airplanes from Gary and found him to be shrewd, honest, capable, and on occasion- FUN! He has more than paid for his commissions with savings by leading me to various suppliers and allowed me to deal directly with them. He knows aircraft inside and out and loves being challenged by a difficult deal. I don’t often give testimonials but I do keep going back to do business with Meisner Aircraft.”
