The Brokers Role for the Seller

• Determining a fair asking price - To ensure a timely sale, it is essential to ask a fair price. We can help establish fair-market value for the boat through access to actual sold boat data.
  
  
• Preparing an Advertising Strategy - We will outline a plan of how a boat is to be advertised in the most appropriate media. For example, the best means to promote a 27 Catalina is vastly different than the strategy for a 63' Sunseeker. Our objective is to devise a strategy with the best chances of reaching the most interested and qualified audience for your boat.
  
  
• Preparing the listing for the Public - We will prepare the listing for distribution in various electronic and print media, for print and e-mail distribution to clients and other brokers, and for distribution to prospects at boat shows, open houses, and walk-in inquiries. Sellers who have listed their boat for sale with a YachtWorld.com broker will see their listing advertised in YachtWorld.com, Boats.com. BoatTrader.com and much more
  
  
• Professional Know-How - We understand the principals of the brokerage yacht sales profession - such as certificates of ownership, security agreements, bills of sale and other documents needed to register and transfer titles to boats. We understand maritime and admiralty liens for the type of vessels we represent, as well as mortgaging and transferring title to documented vessels. We also understand agency contracts, listing agreements, closing statements, deposit requirements and escrowed accounts to safeguard funds.
  
  
• Sea Trial and Survey - The buyer will usually request a sea trial and the services of a marine surveyor. Buyers pay for the surveys and for hauling the boat out of the water for inspection. Your yacht broker will attend the sea trial and marine survey and help you determine how any discovered deficiencies should be addressed in the purchase negotiations.
  
  
• The Art of Negotiating The Deal - The broker can use his position as a middleman to keep the negotiations between buyer and seller moving to a successful conclusion.
