The agency model

You have technology to sell. We act as your agent.

Think of us as the real estate agent for your technology fleet. We establish market value, bring qualified buyers to the table, negotiate on your behalf, manage the details, and stay with you through closing.

01

Your organization

Brings the fleet.

Sets the priorities and keeps final control without having to manage every detail.

02

TrustTrade

Acts as your agent.

Establishes value, creates competition, negotiates terms, and manages the transaction from start to close.

03

The buyer

Makes the offer.

Acquires, grades, processes, and resells devices while protecting its own margin and risk.

The buyer is not the enemy. But the buyer is not your agent. TrustTrade gives your organization independent representation and keeps the process productive for everyone.

Proof over promises

Representation that returned nearly $1 million more to classrooms.

A message from our co-founder

Why representation matters.

Technology and operations leaders are expected to navigate device sales against buyers who work in this market every day. Vendors are not wrong to protect their interests—but your organization deserves informed representation, too.

We built TrustTrade so organizations can understand the market, make confident decisions, and return more value to the budgets and missions their technology supports.

Value recovery across your fleet

Used devices retain value. We help you realize it.

From Apple and ChromeOS to Windows and mixed fleets, TrustTrade manages the resale process to uncover market value, create competition, and return more from technology your organization no longer needs.

01 · Primary value driver

Apple retains significant value.

Mac, iPad, and iPhone often retain meaningful residual value at the end of a typical three-to-four-year lifecycle. Managed timing, grading, competition, and channel selection help your organization realize more of that value.

02 · Supporting categories

Mixed fleets

ChromeOS, Windows, and other devices still need a responsible, coordinated resale or disposition path. We manage them alongside Apple—not as separate projects.
