The reason
Would you buy a home with terrible listing pictures? What about from an agent who is impossible to get on the phone? If your answer is no to these questions, you’re not alone.
The market for used boats has changed dramatically, even in the past year. Buyers are demanding better pictures, better videos and more information. More boats have been sold to first time buyers than ever before, and telling a story with the listing presentation is of utmost importance.
What is the reason that we are drawn to the water in the first place? The solitude? The friends? The unforgettable experiences? Whatever your personal reason might be, boats are more than just machines. They are vehicles to another world, a way to make memories that last a lifetime. We use HD drone videos and hundreds of pictures to show your boat in the best possible light. With more and more people shopping from the comfort of their home, an engaging listing, and a longstanding close network of buyers, is more important than ever.
The basics
With a signed central listing agreement, we will begin the listing process. We ask that your boat is clean, free of your personal belongings and ready to show. A list of equipment included in the sale is an important first step. In order to receive the highest selling price, it’s a good idea to have all major services completed prior to sale.
After this, we shoot HD video and pictures for the listing. You are free to use the boat while it’s listed, but make sure to have your management service keep the boat clean. The first impression is often the most important, and a clean boat is a great place to start.
Commission is a industry standard 10%. A standard commission percentage incentivises other brokers to show their clients your boat, versus a listing with a discounted commission. Like any business, we have operating costs and value our knowledge and network highly. Some of the other discounted brokerage houses might not share the same ideals.
