Timeframe for closing process

Planning ahead always takes the stress out of the process.

The total timeframe from application to closing usually takes between 5–7 business days so knowing this can alleviate some of the pressure. Once we receive a complete application, the application process can take between 1–3 days and then obtaining all of the necessary closing documents can take 3–5 days depending on many different factors.

More specifically we’ve outlined the standard timeframes and the process below (download it in checklist form here). Of course there are always unexpected bumps in the road which can extend the timeframe but we always do our best to avoid these as much as possible. Our goals always align with yours: ultimately we all want an accurate and timely closing.

Application

From the time we receive all of your necessary documents to apply, it usually takes between 1-3 business days. The more complete your application package is, including all documents submitted in PDF format, the quicker the turnaround.

Approval to Contracts

This can be the same day, depending on the timing of the approval, and if you have already found your airplane. If you haven't already, you should send the purchase agreement, spec sheet, and any corporate information if you are putting the loan in an LLC or corporation (operating agreement, articles of organization, certificate of formation, IRS EIN forms, etc.) to your loan officer.

For a listing of these specific documents, see our closing checklist overview.

Dorr Aviation was incredibly helpful, effective, and efficient throughout my aircraft purchase process. From the very first conversation, their team made everything smooth and straightforward. They clearly explained all financing options, handled documentation promptly, and made sure my loan was processed without any unnecessary delays.

Their communication and professionalism gave me full confidence every step of the way. Thanks to Dorr Aviation, I was able to secure financing and finalize my aircraft purchase quickly and stress-free. Highly recommend them to anyone looking to finance an aircraft — they truly go above and beyond!

Special shout out to Alex who really went above and beyond in every way. Any question I had, he had an immediate answer and/or solution.

Hugh thanks to Dorr Aviation Credit Corp. for financing our 1978 Turbo Cessna 210. Special shout-out to Alex Howe and his team, who worked tirelessly for three months.

I can’t even begin to explain how awesome it’s been to work with Alex Howe and his team! This is my first airplane purchase and it’s been a flawless experience due to the help and guidance these guys have provided. Alex went waaay above and beyond what I would have ever thought anyone would have to help me with values and buying knowledge so that I could purchase the perfect bird for my needs! If you are in the market this group is 110% the people you want to work with! The thing that stood out to me the most was the fact that there was never a commutation problem, anytime I called or emailed I immediately got a response or answered call!

Thank you guys for the help in making a dream come true!!!!!!
