Buyer Advisory & Representation

Before You Engage a Broker, Engage an Advisor

 

Most UHNW aircraft acquisitions begin 12-18 months before a transaction occurs. The strategic decisions made during this planning phase—mission definition, market timing, ownership structure—determine outcome quality more than the transaction itself.

Amjet's buyer services follow a structured engagement model designed to protect your interests at every stage—from initial exploration through transaction closing.


How We Engage

 

Amjet operates exclusively through formal written agreements that define scope, responsibilities, and mutual commitments. This structure protects both your interests and ours, ensuring clarity and accountability throughout the engagement.

 

Step 1: Complimentary Initial Consultation

We begin with a no-obligation conversation or meeting to discuss your acquisition timeline, mission requirements, and decision-making process. This allows both parties to assess fit before any formal engagement.

If Amjet appears to be a good match for your needs, we move to the advisory phase.


Step 2: Written Advisory Agreement

Our advisory engagements are formalized through a written agreement that establishes:

 

  • Scope of advisory services and strategic planning support
  • Confidentiality protections and information-sharing protocols
  • Advisory fees and engagement terms
  • Clear definition of what advisory work includes (and does not include)


The advisory agreement is independent of any future representation.


There is no obligation to proceed to representation, and advisory work stands on its own as a complete engagement if that best serves your needs.


Step 3: Exclusive Representation Agreement (When Appropriate)

When timing and opportunity align, and both parties agree to move forward with an acquisition, we enter into an Exclusive Buyer Representation Agreement.


Exclusivity serves both your interests and ours:


  • For you: We represent your interests exclusively—no divided loyalties, no dual agency, no undisclosed conflicts
  • For you: Your acquisition parameters remain confidential and are not disclosed to competing buyers
  • For us: We can invest significant resources in targeted search, negotiation strategy, and transaction coordination knowing the engagement is committed
  • For us: Our compensation structure aligns with your successful acquisition—not deal velocity or reciprocal broker relationships


The Exclusive Representation Agreement defines scope of work, term, compensation, and both parties' responsibilities through closing.


What Advisory Work Includes


During the advisory phase, we address the strategic questions that matter most before you're under LOI:


  • Does the mission justify ownership versus charter evolution?
  • How does depreciation timing affect net acquisition cost across a 4–6-year hold period?
  • What configuration details affect residual value in European versus North American markets?
  • How should pre-buy scope align with aircraft age, time-since-refurb, and maintenance status?
  • What market timing and inventory trends affect acquisition strategy over the next 6-12 months?

 

This work provides clarity and strategic direction before market engagement creates transaction pressure.


What Exclusive Representation Provides


When you're prepared to move from strategy to execution, our exclusive buyer representation includes:


Principal-First Search Discipline

We don't broadcast your acquisition parameters to maximize deal flow. We conduct targeted, confidential outreach to ownership groups and flight departments most likely to align with your mission and timing requirements.

Transatlantic Market Access

Large-cabin aircraft move between continents. Our Atlanta and Zürich presence ensures coordinated visibility across both primary markets—expanding qualified inventory access without compromising confidentiality.

Controlled Negotiation Oversight

From offer structuring through pre-buy management and closing coordination, we maintain alignment with your cost basis, delivery timing, and risk tolerance—not market velocity or broker reciprocity pressures.


Who This Serves


  • UHNW principals considering first-time ownership
  • Corporate flight departments planning fleet expansion or upgrades
  • Family offices evaluating long-range mission requirements
  • Buyers seeking European-based aircraft for North American operations (or reverse)


Next Step: Complimentary Consultation


Let's begin with a no-obligation conversation to discuss your acquisition timeline, mission profile, and decision-making process.

If there's mutual fit, we'll discuss the advisory engagement structure. If not, we'll be direct about that as well.
