How the network works

We land the clients. You close the deals.

AV8 scales the demand — the audience, the brand, the shows, the technology. Local knowledge is key. That half is yours.

01

National Demand, Routed to You

Aviation buyers and sellers nationwide reach out to AV8 regarding properties in your area. These inquiries are routed directly to your desk, ready to be managed and served by you.

02

Premium Marketing, Fully Handled

Every active listing you take receives full marketing promotion by AV8. We handle the digital reach and property exposure so you can focus on the client.

03

Settled at Closing

You guide the client and close the deal. AV8 earns its conservative referral fee only when the transaction is successfully funded. Productive agents who consistently close deals are rewarded with priority lead routing.

AV8 earns through membership dues, a conservative referral on the business the network sends you, and — only when you choose it — a capped marketing fee on your own listings, settled at closing. Your existing book stays yours.

Founding cohort

AirVenture Oshkosh 2026 · July 20–26. Agents who apply to join our partner affliate network during EAA Airventure will have their on-boardng fee ($488) waived, if accepted into the network.

Your inventory

Your listing. AV8's marketing. Your strategy.

Aviation properties don't sell in a weekend — three months to a year on market is normal. So the network gives every member two ways to fund Captain-level marketing on their own listings. Captain is AV8’s top listing marketing plan — the full promotion package, $288/mo when bought standalone.

AV8 carries the marketing

Settle at Closing

Full Captain-level marketing from day one, at zero cash cost — a deferred marketing fee settles alongside your commission, only when your listing closes.

Zero monthly while it sits. Zero, ever, if it doesn't sell.

You carry the marketing

Pay As You Go

The Captain plan for that listing at your member discounted price — and a flat 0% share at closing. The same package agents buy standalone — just cheaper, because you're on the inside.

Settle at Closing Pay As You Go
Cost today $0 Captain at 15 / 25 / 35% off by tier
At your listing closing 15 / 10 / 5% of the listing side, by tier 0% — nothing settles
If it never sells You owe nothing Only the months you chose to run
Your active listings Up to 3 / 8 / 15 by tier Unlimited
AV8 network affliate listings Unlimited Unlimited
A buyer you bring 100% yours 100% yours

The deferred fee settles whichever way the buyer arrives — from AV8, from your sign, or from your own book. It touches the listing side only.

Confident it sells fast? Pay as you go costs less. Bracing for a long runway? Settle at closing — and AV8 carries the marketing risk with you.

Protecting your book

The AV8 Promise

A strict broker-to-broker relationship, under a written agreement. Our side of the deal, on paper.

Leads Follow Performance, Not Fees

Lead routing is based on active volume and conversion speed, not your membership tier. A higher tier buys you better economics at the closing table — never lead priority.

Your Book Stays Yours

AV8’s fees attach strictly to business the platform sources or markets. Your existing sphere, local database, and organic deals — and every client your past clients ever send you — stay 100% yours.

One Clear Share Per Side

One AV8 share per closing side — set by that side’s origin, at your tier’s rate, settled broker-to-broker — never stacked. No layered fees, no hidden desk costs, no surprises at the closing table.

Settled at Funded Closings

The network only wins when you win. If a routed lead doesn’t close, you owe nothing on it. Everything settles at the funded closing.

Selective by design

The network qualifies its Agents

Aviation buyers can tell who knows aviation. That’s why membership is applied for — the filter is what the credential is worth.

Real estate standard required

  • Active license in good standing
  • Sponsoring broker’s written consent to broker-to-broker referrals

Aviation standard any one

  • Pilot certificate, any level · CFI · A&P–IA · dispatcher · ATC
  • FBO or aviation-industry background
  • Airpark resident — or you’ve sold there
  • Aircraft owner, or military aviation experience
  • 2+ aviation transactions in the trailing 24 months

Honest math

Run Your Own Numbers

One closing. Three questions. See exactly what lands on your desk.

Who brought the listing?

Who brought the buyer?

No projections, no multipliers — standard commission math. The AV8 share applies to routed business only.

Network closing · statement

AV8 share · Pro · 25% · buyer side− $3,125

The AV8 share applies to the commission AV8 sourced — per side, by lead origin.

Before you apply

No. AV8 charges only on business the network sources or directly promotes — your existing book stays 100% yours, with nothing attached to it. On routed business you are the agent of record: your license, your brokerage, and AV8’s referral settled broker-to-broker at closing.

A fair question to ask any network. Two honest answers. First, the referral is settled at closing — when nothing closes, AV8 earns nothing beyond the flat membership dues. Second, before you commit, we walk you through the actual aviation demand we track in your specific market during the interview. You decide based on real numbers, not our promises.

The AV8 seat isn’t built to replace your brokerage’s primary CRM — it’s the network’s dedicated routing and measurement layer. Inbound leads land there, response times are visible there, and referrals reconcile there at closing. It keeps network business transparent, tracked in the open, and separate from your personal sphere — and it ships inside the one annual figure, no separate monthly charge.

By performance, not by fees. Routing follows active volume, responsiveness, and conversion — not your membership tier. A higher tier buys you better economics at the closing table — never lead priority. The best agents get the most leads. The one exception: the founding cohort at AirVenture Oshkosh 2026 holds 12 months of exclusive routing in their market, through July 2027.

Flat membership dues, plus a straightforward referral on the business we source or directly promote — settled broker-to-broker at closing. The share is set by the tier you choose: 35 / 25 / 15. No hidden desk costs, multiplier tricks, or layered fees along the way — one clear share per closing, determined by lead origin.

Yes — and you pick how to pay for the marketing. Settle at closing: full Captain-level marketing at zero cash cost, with a deferred marketing fee — capped at one year of Captain — settled only if the listing sells. Available on up to 3 / 8 / 15 active listings by tier. Or pay as you go: the Captain plan at your member discount, 15 / 25 / 35% off, with a flat 0% share. Your buyer side on those closings carries an AV8 share only when AV8 sent the buyer.

No — never. People your past clients refer to you are yours, fully and permanently, even when the original client came through AV8. Our share attaches to demand we source — not to the reputation you build serving it.

Membership doesn’t replace Captain — it makes Captain cheaper. Members take Captain at 15 / 25 / 35% off as the pay-as-you-go option on their own listings, or skip the monthly entirely and settle a capped marketing fee at closing. And membership adds the one thing Captain alone can’t: routed buyers and inbound listing appointments in your market.
