One of our colleagues, who specializes in the sale of business jets, called to say he had a client in South America that wanted to trade his Caravan in for a jet. We worked with him in evaluating the Caravan, giving him a number at which we would inventory the Caravan, as well as a net number that we thought we could get if we marketed it for the owner.
The owner was not in a great hurry, so he decided to give us some time to sell the airplane. We brought the airplane to the market, and in a relatively short period of time, found a buyer here in the U.S. We made arrangements for and supervised the pre-purchase inspection in South America and the resolution of the few squawks found in the inspection. After the closing through an escrow agent in Oklahoma City, our ferry pilot flew the airplane to its new home.
Now there are two happy new airplane owners - one in the U.S. with a Caravan, and one on South America with a jet!
