Why use a FULL SERVICE BROKER

Some sellers have explored using some of the Discount/Internet brokers that have popped up in the last few years. But as with most things in life you get what you pay for. Consider the following;
FULL SERVICE BROKERS usually have been in the business for many years getting their experience working for large marinas and dealerships selling a variety of boats. This gives them well-rounded knowledge of not only boats and their systems but everything else involved with the boating experience.
Internet brokers don't see your boat, they ask you to take pictures for them and provide specs on the boat, show the boat, do the sea-trial, etc.
WHEN A CUSTOMER CALLS US WE KNOW FIRST HAND ABOUT THE BOAT, WE'VE SEEN AND INSPECTED IT, TAKEN THE PICTURES AND CAN RELAY THE GENERAL CONDITION OF THE VESSEL. WE DO THE SHOWINGS, ALL PAPERWORK, SEA-TRIALS, CLOSING AND ANYTHING ELSE THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE FROM START TO FINISH.
Does your broker have insurance? If he's showing your boat and someone falls or gets hurt on YOUR boat who's getting sued? Can he gain entrance to your storage building? No insurance, no entrance!
Most people have bought and sold real estate and know that a large percentage of transactions are co-brokered between real estate company's. The same is true for boats. Since there are so many boats on the market why would one broker split a short commission when he can just go to the next boat on the list and sell a full service brokers listing?
Almost all discount brokers ONLY promote boats on the internet, are one man operations and work out of their homes. A FULL SERVICE BROKER is advertising your boat not only on numerous websites but also in magazines and print ads, at boat shows and has a store front office for visibility and walk-in traffic.
The bottom line is, if you’re happy where you’re at, great. But if not, try a FULL SERVICE BROKER because if your boat doesn't sell the discount broker didn't save you any money, did they?
