R3 Aviation Services helped another first-time aircraft buyer make the jump into ownership after nearly 50 years in aviation. Referred through our new partnership with the Freedom Aviation Network, she trusted R3 to guide the acquisition from the initial consultation through closing and delivery.
Our team sourced N705R, a 1986 Cessna TR182RG located in Creswell, Oregon, for our East Coast client and coordinated the entire acquisition process. R3 assisted with aircraft evaluation and selection, negotiations, records review, pre-purchase inspection, insurance coordination, ferry logistics, escrow, and closing. N705R stood out with a low-time turbocharged Lycoming O-540, recently overhauled three-blade propeller, Garmin avionics, factory oxygen, Robertson STOL kit, auxiliary fuel, complete logs, and a strong overall ownership outlook.
This transaction also marked the first R3 Aviation closing generated through our Freedom Aviation Network partnership, beginning a new referral relationship focused on helping more pilots move confidently into aircraft ownership. After decades around aviation, our client is now beginning the next chapter of her flying journey as an aircraft owner.
Client Experience
“Nick has considerable negotiation experience to create concessions if needed and establish a fair price for both seller and buyer. Communication is fast and thorough, and everything is well explained. Nick does this for a living; I do it once in a lifetime, but he was there to hold my hand and reassure me throughout the entire process.”
“The commission fee was well worth the money spent to be sure nothing was overlooked. In a few years when I sell my airplane, I will turn to Nick again in a heartbeat!”
