Cessna Seller

The valuation process at CJ Sales is one of the most important steps in our sales approach. This is because it is the step in which we determine the asking price for your plane. This number will become the baseline for all future price negotiations, so it is critical to find a Cessna broker that will get things right, every time.

At CJ Sales, we look at all the variables to determine a fair value that will get your plane sold. We’ll start by noting all of the unique information pertinent to your airplane: the make, model, serial numbers, registration information, and similar info. We’ll also investigate the history of your plane by looking into the number of operating hours, damage history, and service records.

In addition to this research, we also need to analyze the current market trends and recent sales to arrive at a fair price. All of these factors combine to impact the value of your plane, but you can trust the work we do at CJ Sales.

Our owner, Mike Lester, has years of experience valuing Cessna Citations, and he is the definitive Cessna broker when it comes to the Citation family. When you partner with him, you can trust that your valuation will be as competitive as possible in the current market.

We maintain meticulous records on the sales history for every single Cessna Citation on the market, and in some cases we can provide price comparisons for aircraft very similar to your own. However, every Citation is unique. The number of flight hours, maintenance history, cosmetic condition, and more can all affect the sale price of an aircraft.

In addition, most Citations have unique features and amenities that can further impact the value. Wi-fi packages, cabin configurations, and many other variables all play a role. And when you work with CJ Sales, Mike will notice them all and factor them into the value of your aircraft.

Our owner, Mike Lester, is a Citation jet specialist with years of experience as a Cessna seller and buyer. All of our data tracking and metrics are fully focused on the Citation market, and it would require years of effort to gain the necessary comprehensive knowledge about other business jets.

However, if you’re looking to sell a different kind of jet and purchase a Citation, don’t be afraid to reach out. Mike knows brokers who work with any kind of business jet, and we’ll be happy to set you up with a talented partner. Then, when you’re ready to buy your CJ, we’ll be ready to find the perfect plane that meets your needs with our acquisition service.

Mike and the team at CJ Sales will work to respect your financial situation as best we can, but the ultimate value of your aircraft is dictated by the market, not us. We can price your Citation at any number, but if we overvalue it, potential buyers may not be interested in it.

When you work with Mike, we draw on our decades of experience backed by an informed understanding of the current jet market to arrive at a sales price that gets you the most money possible while facilitating a quick sale.
