"Denise Wilson was an amazing help in finding the right plane as well as coaching me through ownership and maintenance and her connections have been super helpful.”
Citation M2 Buyer
2018 Citation M2 525-1000 – Acquired
"As a second-time jet buyer new to the Citation lineup, we knew enough to know that we didn't know enough. After a few conversations with Denise discussing our needs and her ability to meet them, we engaged The Jet Agent for our acquisition of an M2. After in-depth discussion of budget and options, she had three planes in front of us within a week. The clear winner was an off-market beauty with motivated sellers. Denise's knowledge of the Citation line and market enabled her to skillfully manage expectations on both sides of the transaction. She kept us well-apprised of every action available to us at every step of the process, resulting in a smooth closing in just 6 weeks. We are very happy with the level of service we received from The Jet Agent and would recommend Denise and her crew without reservation.”

“Upgrading from our CJ1, which we had purchased eight years earlier, to a more capable aircraft was a significant decision driven by the need for greater range to support our missions. To navigate the complexities of this process, I sought recommendations from others who had recently purchased aircraft. The Jet Agent came highly recommended, particularly Denise and her team. Given my busy schedule running the company, I didn’t have the bandwidth to dive into the countless details involved in upgrading an aircraft – details that are crucial to getting it right. Having made a few mistakes during our first purchase, I knew how important it was to have experienced guidance. The Jet Agent team was there for us every step of the way. They began by understanding our mission requirements and then presented CJ2+ and CJ3 options tailored to our needs. It quickly became clear that they had an excellent grasp of the current market and availability. In fact, we ultimately selected an aircraft that hadn’t even hit the market yet. The process involved numerous intricate steps, and Denise worked seamlessly with our legal representative to ensure everything was handled correctly. From the initial search to the final paperwork, The Jet Agent team’s attention to detail was outstanding. Without their expertise, the deal could have easily fallen apart. In the end, Jon sold our CJ1, and we successfully closed on both transactions – our CJ1 and the CJ3 – within just a few weeks of each other. Both deals were completed at fair market prices, leaving all parties satisfied. We couldn’t be happier with The Jet Agent’s professionalism and expertise. If you’re considering buying or selling a jet, I wholeheartedly recommend their team.”

“Denise, Jon, and Anders at The Jet Agent are an exceptional team who ensured my CJ2+ acquisition was nothing short of perfect. Denise led the search with incredible dedication, tirelessly evaluating and negotiating on three separate aircraft until we found the ideal match. Without Denise and her team, I would have navigated this journey blind and owned an airplane with underlying problems; a problem no new jet owner wants to face. Jon’s relentless efforts were remarkable; he reached out to owners worldwide, securing the exact aircraft I now own. Anders, with his invaluable market insights, guided Denise and Jon flawlessly, ensuring we timed the purchase impeccably with market trends. Their collective expertise and commitment made the entire process smooth and efficient. I couldn’t be more pleased with their professionalism and personalized service. If you’re looking for a jet acquisition experience that exceeds expectations, I wholeheartedly recommend Denise, Jon, and Anders at The Jet Agent – they deliver results with unmatched dedication and precision.”

“I had the privilege of working with Denise and her team at The Jet Agent through both a sale and a subsequent aircraft acquisition. It was apparent from the beginning that Denise’s expertise, attention to detail, and constant communication are second to none in this industry. She found a stellar airplane and brokered an absolutely amazing purchase! I am confident that no other firm could have managed as excellent of a purchase in as great a fit of an airplane as Denise did. Plus, she didn’t stop there – she was on our side even after closing, supporting us all the way until the airplane was delivered to its new home. For all these reasons, and more, it is with the highest of regards that I recommend Denise and The Jet Agent!”

2023 Citation CJ4 Gen2 525C-0407 – Acquired
“I first began considering upgrading from my Citation Mustang to something bigger and faster in early 2020. I reached out to Denise Wilson whose name I had recognized from the CJP forum. She was able to run trip scenarios for me in both an M2 and CJ2. She helped estimate operating costs and plane capabilities. She answered lots of questions and was always available. Denise was never pushy with trying to get me to buy a new plane. She just made herself available as a resource so I could make my own decision. My first requirement was I had to sell my Mustang. Denise had my Mustang under contract with a buyer within a week. We discussed several different options for M2s. She led in negotiating and within a month we had found my new plane.”

Transition from Citation CJ3 to CJ4
2015 Citation M2 525-0840 – Acquired
“Working with Denise was an incredibly seamless experience. As first-time aircraft sellers, we greatly appreciated her guidance and support throughout the entire process. Her expertise and confidence put as at ease, and we felt fully informed every step of the way. Denise’s extensive knowledge of the Citation M2 market and selling process proved invaluable, and we were thrilled to learn that she was able to secure multiple interested buyers for our aircraft without even needing to publicly list it. This not only saved us time and hassle but also speaks to the strength of her professional network and reputation in the industry. Overall, we cannot recommend Denise highly enough to anyone seeking to sell an aircraft. Her exceptional service and expertise truly made all the difference for us.”

2019 Citation M2 525-1031 – Sold
“As we began the process of selling one of our department’s Citation CJ3s, we solicited proposals from multiple brokerage firms. Denise quickly stood out from the competition with her exceptional service and dedication to earning our business. Once we decided to move forward with Denise, she delivered on every promise she had made. We were pleasantly surprised by her optimistic expectations for the timeline and sales price, but she exceeded them both with ease. Her experience and expertise were truly invaluable throughout the sales process. Moving forward, we have no doubt that Denise will be our first choice when it comes to any future aircraft transactions. We highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and reliable partner in the aviation industry.”

2019 Citation CJ3+ 525B-0594 – Acquired
“I recently purchased an M2 after coming off a long hiatus from flying (eight years) after I realized that it was now or never to get back into aviation. It was a big part of my younger life for 25 years (ATP rated pilot with close to 4,000 hours – the majority in a Baron 58 and several hundred in a Meridian) so I thought that I could accomplish my goal of getting typed and insured for single pilot operations within several months – or however long it would take because this isn’t a sprint. It’s getting back into aviation at the ultimate level because, when we get older, we realize that life is indeed short, so why not fly a jet as long as the stars have aligned to do just that! I realized that I needed professional help to accomplish these goals – so I went to Denise Wilson because the recommendations that I got from members of CJP. Some generous members gave me a considerable amount of their time and one specifically said that I couldn’t go wrong with Denise – he was so right – he actually tipped the scales for me to go with her. Denise has been an integral part of my exciting (yet arduous due to intensive training) process over the past several months – I couldn’t have done it without her. I was recently typed in the airplane and she set me up with an excellent instructor and an all-around great guy who I’d recommend to anyone who needs mentoring/instruction. So she not only found me a clean squawk free airplane (so far) – she also helped me negotiate an excellent purchase price in a seller’s market. When the paperwork started piling up for everything that goes along with closing, insurance, CAMP, RVSM requirements, etc., etc., Denise was there every step of the way in a timely manner. She even would speak to me on a Sunday afternoon when I felt I needed to be on top of things first thing on Monday morning because I would start training that Monday afternoon and that would be almost all-consuming for several days in a row. So without her help on Sunday, the entire week could have been blown when it came to getting important things done – she knew this and that’s why she was there for me. And I should point out that this was after closing – after checks had been exchanged. So, in my point of view, that speaks well of her professionalism and character.”

“We just completed the delivery process of our pre-owned Citation M2 from Textron with the help of Denise Wilson. We couldn’t be happier with the entire process and are so thankful that Denise led us every step of the way. This is our first jet and Denise’s knowledge and experience in helping us as new jet owners/operators was so valuable to us. We literally could not have done all of this without her. From her analysis of our needs to the analysis of the market and finding just the right M2 for us, it was a smooth process. I know Denise worked very hard with every detail to make sure everything from the jet selection through contract negotiations, to pre-buy inspection, to legal work on the Purchase Agreement, setting up training, providing training materials, and on and on, she was fantastic. I would strongly recommend that anyone considering moving into their first jet, or finding their next jet, to contact Denise and let her help you. You will be thrilled come delivery day! It was fantastic!”

FAQ

Your Questions, Answered

Faq's

What is my aircraft worth in today's market?

Many factors go into determining the value of an aircraft. The year of manufacture, avionics, options, engine status and programs, maintenance status and pedigree, damage history or “stories”, and market demand all influence pricing.

We offer a free aircraft valuation that includes a market analysis, recently sold comparable aircraft, “competing” aircraft currently on the market, and other data sources to provide a solid forecast of what your aircraft will sell for in today’s market.

It’s important to balance current competitive pricing with overall market trends to ensure your aircraft doesn’t languish on market.  No one wants to follow market pricing in a downward adjusting market. At the same time, you want to maximize the sales price. 

Schedule a free strategy session with our team and we will share the ideal pricing strategy that will ensure your aircraft sells quickly and for the highest amount possible.

Final Decision

  • Do you feel confident in their ability to sell your aircraft efficiently and at the best price?

If, yes, you’ve found the right aircraft broker!
