Yacht brokers
don't sell a boat- the seller sells the boat. Yacht brokers simply
provide the service of bringing buyer and seller together.



You must have different rules for brokers out there in the Northwest. I
just listed a boat with a broker ... to sell it.
(Yes, in the pure definition, I am the "seller", but the broker is the
salesman).

Here, the broker advertises the boat, shows the boat to perspective buyers,
and generally "sells" the boat (used a verb).

In most cases the broker prefers the "seller" to be absent during the
initial showing to a perspective buyer. (I also think this is a good idea
until a buyer puts down a deposit and signs a purchase and sales agreement
or returns for a 2nd or 3rd look with detailed questions).
