Buying Assistance.

If you are in the market for an aircraft but are not sure of what to do or are worried about making costly mistakes in the process, you need look no further than Lanier Media Aviation Services. Traditional brokers who buy and sell exclusively will take a prospects required parameters for an aircraft, search the market, and try to orchestrate a deal between the parties and his commission will be paid by the seller. We do not work this way. Rather, we charge a fee directly to the client, which varies depending on the level of services required. We work directly for YOU and usually cost less than if a commission is built into the sales price of the aircraft - but never costs more.

Full Service Program

This approach is most beneficial to those who want a turn-key service or might be new to the process or aircraft type. It guarantees a cap on the service fee no matter how many aircraft we review in the search, or even turn down during pre-purchase. 
Depending on the dynamics of each particular deal and/or the specific needs of the client, the services can include all or some of the following:

  1. Determining the actual needs of the client [missions; budget, future plans for the aircraft; equipment requirements, etc].
  2. Recommendations as to which aircraft represents the best purchase potential.
  3. Searching for the right aircraft.
  4. Extensive research on the aircraft to verify it’s represented history and condition.
  5. Overall inspection of the aircraft and logs to verify equipment, condition, history, and value.
  6. Test flying the aircraft with the seller to verify the operational status of the equipment and the general performance and flying qualities.
  7. Coordinating the pre-purchase mechanical evaluation.
  8. Determining an appropriate offering purchase price.
  9. Drafting the Purchase Agreement.
  10. Help securing the best insurance.
  11. Closing coordination.
  12. Managing post purchase repairs and upgrades.
  13. Delivery and transition training if necessary.

Single Ship Program

Our Single Ship Program is intended for those who desire to do the initial searching on their own, and use our assistance to vet a specific aircraft they have located and want to purchase. You receive all the service points of our Full Service program, but focused on the completion of purchase of one specific serial number airplane. This is a very cost effective way to leverage our experience and expertise in the full vetting process of the aircraft, proper purchase agreements to protect your interests, documentation, coordinating escrow, and assuring proper filing of the necessary ownership and registration documents. Our intent with this service is for our clients to best leverage our over four decades of general aviation aircraft sales and operational training experience to their best advantage – acting on their exclusive behalf.

This adds an extra layer of expertise and assurance that you will be getting into the right aircraft for the right price. Quite simply, our goal is to save our clients more than their fee paid in the long run by helping them avoid costly mistakes in the purchase process.

"Being a first time aircraft purchaser I was very nervous about the dollars and the process of buying an airplane. I could not have been in better hands than Guy’s. He went right to work and after about three months and many candidates he came up with the right fit for me. He made the entire process as painless and stress free as possible. His approach in taking care of his customers is one of informing and educating then allowing them to make the decision based on their need and requirements not on his. I learned to respect him for his honesty and integrity during and after the transaction was complete."  -  Michael A. Moore      

"I used Guy Maher and his full service buyers program to find and purchase N45385. Guy made the entire process extremely efficient. Guy’s knowledge of the Cardinal market made it easy to buy a Cardinal that perfectly fits my needs. I also did a day of transition training with Guy in Statesville, NC, A really nice way to jump start my learning journey with the Cardinal. I am a big fan of Guy and highly recommend his services." 
- Phil Steklenski
