Why should I use Harbor Yachts as the broker to help me sell my boat?

There are several disadvantages to selling a boat yourself. Most fall into two categories though: Time and Money.

Time

1. Marketing. Assembling professional sales materials, taking photographs, drafting professional specifications and placing advertising all require a great deal of time.
2. Follow-up. The time required to follow-up on leads afforded by one’s own marketing is often more than the full-time professional has to give.
3. Boat Relocation. The most time-critical and time-laden activity is also the most important, the delivery. Negotiating a survey (pre-purchase inspection), assembling documents, assisting the buyer with financing and insurance and the logistical arrangement of relocation can place a huge demand on an already busy schedule.

Money

1. Misalignment with the market. It can cost both time and money when you don’t know what the market will bear. It can take a great deal of time to research the market to know what you can get.
2. Misguided Inspection. A poorly organized or misunderstood survey can lead to dissatisfaction on both sides. This can lead to fixes that should never have been required or often, a lost sale.
3. Trade-in vs. Selling Outright. When you choose to trade your current boat, you’ll avoid sales tax on the value of the trade. However, the money gained by selling outright often exceeds the financial benefits of a trade-in.
