Curious about the boat buying process? Or already shopping and have questions? The brokerage (use) boat buying process is often compared to real estate and although there are a ton of similarities, there is a set framework of steps that lead to a successful boat purchase!

As a yacht broker - this is what I do EVERYDAY! And I like to be of service to boat buyers, helping them get the most boat for the dollar alllll while have a fun and pleasant experience...

This video is a breakdown of the STEP BY STEP Brokerage Boat Buying Process:
1. Shopping (00:35)
2. Offer Presentation & Negotiation (03:20)
3. Offer Acceptance ... "Under Agreement" (05:08)
4. The Marine Survey(s) Process & Reporting (05:21)
5. The Acceptance of Vessel (07:56)
6. Closing (11:14)

A couple of key tips I'll hit on in this video are:
Budget Planning for this NEW purchase
Important data points to research BEFORE presenting your offer
Utilizing THE BEST Industry Experts for your Marine Survey Inspections
My LOVE of the Boat Binder for documenting a history of quality service
The importance of Proper Preparation to provide a smooth and successful Closing
