A Seattle aircraft broker who flies.
One person handles the search, the paperwork, the delivery flight, and the years after it. He flies the same class of airplane he sells.
Who you deal with
Nazarov Aviation is an independent aircraft brokerage in Seattle, Washington, founded and run by owner-pilot Vlad Nazarov. The firm represents buyers and sellers of piston and turboprop aircraft, manages owner-flown airplanes, and ferries aircraft anywhere in the United States.
You are not handed to an account manager. The person who answers the phone is the person who flies the airplane.
Most people who sell airplanes for a living stopped flying them years ago. Not Vlad. He's an owner-pilot: he's paid the annual, chased the squawk, argued with the avionics shop, and sat in the left seat wondering if the last owner really flew it every month like they said. Those are the same questions you would ask before buying, and that is why the walkaround on a Nazarov listing is done by a pilot who has owned and flown these airplanes, not a salesperson reading off a spec sheet.
Vlad flies every aircraft he represents, and brings in a team to shoot the photos and video. When he tells you the panel is clean, or the paint job is older than the listing lets on, he's telling you what he saw with his own eyes.
Our partner for detailing and ceramic coating is NanoFlow Services in Redmond, and its YouTube channel carries the listing film for every aircraft on this site.
Why independent
An independent broker represents you, not a manufacturer. Nazarov Aviation is multi-brand: Cessna, Piper, Cirrus, experimental, floats, and the light turboprops. The search starts with your mission rather than with one dealer's stock.
A single-brand dealer has one answer to every question, and it's parked outside. That's not dishonest, it's just the job they have. An independent has no inventory to defend, so the conversation can start with what you actually fly:
- How many seats you really need
- How much runway you have at home
- Whether you want glass or the panel you already know
- What you can live with maintaining
Same goes for selling. Your airplane gets priced against what comparable aircraft are actually doing, marketed where buyers actually look, and shown by someone who can answer a technical question without calling you back.
The Pacific Northwest is full of owner-flown piston and turboprop airplanes, and almost every management firm around here only works jets and crewed turbine operations. That gap is why this business exists.
Based at KBFI (Boeing Field) in Seattle. Vlad flies and stands behind every aircraft he represents, and looks after owner-flown aircraft, among them a Cirrus SR22T G6 and an amphibious Found Air Expedition.
Straight answers
The questions owners ask before they pick up the phone.
Who is Vlad Nazarov?
Vlad Nazarov is the founder of Nazarov Aviation and an owner-pilot based in Seattle. He brokers, manages, and ferries piston and turboprop aircraft, and he flies and knows the airplanes he represents.
Where is Nazarov Aviation based?
Seattle, Washington, out of KBFI (Boeing Field). Brokerage, management, contract pilot, and ferry work are nationwide.
What does an independent aircraft broker do differently?
An independent broker is not tied to one manufacturer or one dealer inventory. The job is to represent your side of the transaction: find or market the right airplane, check what the logbooks actually say, and tell you when a deal is not worth doing.
Who does the detailing?
NanoFlow Services, our partner aircraft detailing and ceramic coating company in Redmond. Its YouTube channel is also where the listing films for the aircraft on this site are published.
Do you only work with Seattle owners?
No. Nazarov Aviation is based in Seattle and works with owners, buyers, and sellers across the United States. Ferry flights run to and from airports nationwide.
