Moment 01
Listing photography
The images outlive everything else in the listing. Correction and belly work need to be finished well before the shoot, not the morning of it.
Brokers & sales prep
Presentation that
survives the sale.
Pre-sale preparation for brokers, dealers and management companies — sequenced around listing photography, showings, pre-buy and delivery.
01For the trade
You are selling
an impression first.
Every experienced broker already knows this. The value in a presentation vendor is whether they can deliver it reliably, quietly, and on the dates the transaction actually runs to.
A listing lives or dies on its photographs, and a showing lives or dies in the first minute. Neither is a place to discover that the aircraft's belly was never properly cleaned or that the aisle-side seat leather has gone.
We work to the transaction's calendar. Correction, restoration and cure work is scheduled early because it cannot be compressed; the final presentation pass lands as close to photography or the first showing as we can get it. Where a sale runs long, a refresh before delivery is straightforward to arrange.
And we stay in our lane. We do appearance work, we report to the party who engaged us, and we make no statement about condition, airworthiness or value to anybody. That boundary protects you as much as it protects us.
02Through the transaction
Four moments that
actually matter.
Presentation is not one event before listing. It has to hold at four separate points, and each one has a different requirement.
Moment 02
Showings
Often at short notice, sometimes repeatedly. This is where protection earns its place — an unprotected finish will not hold across a viewing schedule.
Moment 03
Pre-buy inspection
A clean aircraft is easier to inspect and reads as a cared-for one. Cosmetic findings can be addressed in scope; anything mechanical goes to maintenance.
Moment 04
Delivery
The last impression the buyer takes of your handling of the sale. A refresh pass before handover is inexpensive relative to what it protects.
03Discretion
Quiet is
part of the service.
Transactions are confidential until they are not, and that is your call to make rather than ours. Our default on every engagement is that nothing leaves the job.
- No aircraft, tail number or client published without written permission
- No confirmation of an engagement to third parties
- Reporting to the engaging party only
- Crews briefed on confidentiality before dispatch
04Questions
For the trade.
Whoever engages us — broker, owner, management company or flight department — and we confirm that in writing at the start. We do not take direction from one party on a transaction while being engaged by another.
No. We describe the appearance work we performed, to the party who engaged us. We make no representation about aircraft condition, airworthiness or value to anyone.
Within the Washington corridor, generally yes, subject to facility permission and access. For aircraft outside the corridor, ask — we will be straightforward about what is workable.
Those are your images of your aircraft, so that is entirely your decision. We publish nothing — no aircraft, no tail number, no client — without written permission.
