Occasionally, we'll buy an airplane and then mix it up and then resell it on. But the majority of the time, we're acting as an exclusive agent to represent either a buyer or a seller.

For most of my career, we would always represent the seller and try to get a mandate. Just like you were a real estate broker, get a mandate to sell a piece of property, and then you find the buyer or other brokers who are representing buyers will come to you because you have that product to sell.
