The broker will market your boat far more effectively than you can on your own. It will be beautifully promoted through national, or even international, online databases. You’re spared the time and effort of self-marketing.
You get sound advice on when to accept an offer or reject it, factoring in any storage or maintenance costs you currently are incurring.
The broker is an expert deal-maker, negotiating on your behalf, based on a thorough knowledge of used boats and the current market.
The broker is an educational resource for sellers who are new to the process and not sure how to proceed.
Going through a broker gives you peace of mind. The broker will make sure that the sales transaction is neat, tidy, hassle-free and bullet-proof.
Look at it this way: The commission received by the broker is well worth it to you. You stand a much better chance of selling your boat at near your asking price. You might in fact be able to sell the boat yourself. But it probably will take a lot longer, which matters if you are paying storage.
