Selling a Private Jet with Mente Group

Selling a Private Jet with Mente Group

When you are ready to sell your private jet, it’s important to be in the right hands for several reasons. A private jet is likely one of the most valuable assets you own, and when you work with the best people for the job, you’re expected to receive the best results. At Mente Group, we employ a very intricate process for private aircraft sales. We know that understanding the aircraft value is vital to the overall life-cycle cost, and we take time in each step of our sales process.

Appraisal of Aircraft

Mente Group uses an in-house appraiser that does a complete inspection from top to bottom, which includes: looking up market value, physically inspecting every square inch of the aircraft, considering potential value and evaluating selling cost.

Sales Team & Planning

Our experienced sales team goes through field calls and creates in-depth marketing plans for our sales clients, which are then implemented and executed.

Advertising and Marketing of the Aircraft

Historically, our advertising and marketing efforts were primarily focused on magazine and newspaper marketing, which we still do, but today we predominantly focus on Internet and digital marketing to attract people that are searching for particular private or business aircraft. We make sure that as a potential aircraft owner is searching on any particular search engine (like Google, Yahoo or Bing), our aircraft are the planes that they discover first. This process helps in capturing the right people at the right time and selling your private jet quickly.

Mente Group wants our aircraft sales clients to achieve the absolute most value for their aircraft. In order to do this, we stick to the strict appraisal process, detailed marketing plan and execution of marketing to put your aircraft in the right hands, for the right price. We have access to comprehensive market intelligence and a network of industry professionals and aim to sell your aircraft in the most successful and efficient way.

-Manager of Aircraft Maintenance – Fortune 500 company

It was not just the very professional way that Mente Group handled the disposition of our current aircraft and the acquisition of the new aircraft that sets them apart. They provided us with an extraordinarily detailed analysis that helped clarify our decision. They also provided completion insight that I don’t believe anyone else in the industry has resident in their firm. Finally, they helped our treasury department mitigate a tax issue on our existing airplane with the assistance of their asset advisory team. I simply don’t know of any other firm that has the breadth of knowledge that Mente Group has.

-Vice President of Flight Operations

It has been great working with Mente Group. As always, they expertly handled the relationship piece and kept us in the loop so we could keep our principal informed and calm. I assumed from the beginning that Mente would be a good fit, primarily because I personally know most of the team quite well. That confidence was validated every step of the way.

-Retired Aviation Industry Executive

I would highly recommend Mente group in both the sales and acquisition of an aircraft. They took the time to clearly understand my needs, provide competitive information, assist in the negotiation process, and complete both a sales and acquisition process. Their follow up and communication was exceptional throughout the process and second to none. There is only one place I would turn for help in my next acquisition.

-CEO

I meant it when I said what a pleasure it was to work with professionals for a change. It was refreshing to deal with calm, rational people who worked towards mutually beneficial solutions.

-Vice President – Aviation Lender

I wanted to thank you for the terrific job Mente did helping us acquire our new G450. This being our first aircraft we had no clue where to start or how to avoid the pitfalls in the marketplace. Mente took us by the hand and led us through the process with tremendous patience. For us, Mente’s most valuable asset is your ability to read and react to market conditions quickly to provide strategic guidance. We got much more airplane than we dreamed possible by listening to your counsel.

Thanks again for a great experience!
