Boat Broker Question ...
Thomas Wentworth wrote:
Lately, I have been in contact with a number of boat brokers. Is it just me, but these people seem sleazy. They have a listing, they represent the buyer [ and themselves ]. They stand to make money if a sale goes through yet they don't seem to know much, nor do they want to do much. If you ask them something about a boat, they say "get a survey". In most cases, they have never been on the boat, not have they ever seen the boat. Surveys are fine, but they can cost hundreds of dollars. I don't know,,, maybe is me but I really think boat brokers are a dishonest bunch. What are your thoughts. Jasper I put them in the same league as car salesmen and real estate brokers. I would prefer to buy without using them but sometimes you have to. I did buy my last house, car and boat in private sales. I didn't feel I needed a broker for any of them this time. Besides, the best boats never get to a broker. Someone who knows the boat buys it. Gaz |
