Selling a boat is like a real estate transaction. It's usually too complex and involves too much value to risk doing it on your own. Most of my transaction are between $1 million and $7 million. As a yacht broker, we work hard to facilitate the sale of our listings and to protect and promote the interest of our clients, just as a real estate agent would do when you sell your house. Some countries and U.S. states like California and Florida require licensing of their yacht sales professionals most brokers in the U.S. and Canada preferred to sign a “central agency listing” with the owner/seller, which is similar to a multiple listing in real estate transactions. Essentially, this means that as your broker we will manage all the communications and information flow about the listing between you, other brokers, and potential buyers.
Along with the most obvious job of managing the communication information flow, working with a broker provides several significant advantages. As brokers, we have a network of clients and we have several buyers in mind right from the start. We know the market well, especially in this specialized segment, and we have a solid understanding of how to properly price your boat or yacht. Another advantage is that working with us as the broker will get you and the yacht on the pages of Yachtworld.
Yachtworld is the largest online photo and video database of new and used power and sailboats for sale, with well over 100,000 listings. Yet Yachtworld does NOT offer their services directly to individual owners and sellers. And Yachtworld advertising services are only available to eligible yacht brokerage firms and dealerships who represent multiple boats for sale on behalf of owners/sellers. Stay tuned.. there is more to come!
