WHY USE A BUYERS BROKER?

BUYING A CATAMARAN SMOOTHLY REQUIRES SKILL, KNOWLEDGE AND AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROCESS. YOU COULD "GO IT ALONE" BUT I.M.O. MOST D.I.Y. BUYERS DO NOT HAVE THE TIME, THE KNOWLEDGE OR ACCESS TO WHAT OR WHO IS NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE TRANSACTION.
IF YOUR OBJECTIVE IS TO SAVE MONEY BY NOT HAVING TO PAY COMMISSIONS, THINK AGAIN.
THE EXPERIENCED BUYER'S AGENT KNOWS THE MARKET WAY BETTER THAN THE AVERAGE BUYER. THEY HAVE ACCESS TO A PROPRIETARY DATABASE WITH ALL THE SELLING PRICE HISTORIES OF YACHTS GOING BACK TO 1998. THEY ALSO KNOW WHICH LENDERS DO WHAT LOCATIONS, WHAT SURVEYORS ARE KNOWLEDGABLE ABOUT CATAMARANS, HOW TO LEGALLY AVOID TAXES, HOW TO GET INSURANCE AT THE LOWEST COST OR FOR LOW-EXPERIENCE BUYERS, HOW TO AVOID TRAPS SET BY SELLERS AND THEIR AGENTS, ETC.
SINCE THE SELLER PAYS THE COMMISSION A BUYERS AGENT COSTS YOU NOTHING!
ALSO, REMEMBER, THE BEST DEALS ARE USUALLY NOT FOUND IN THE U.S.... YOU CAN SAVE BIG BY BUYING OVERSEAS. BUT YOU MUST UNDERSTAND HOW TO NAVIGATE THE BUSINESS OF BUYING YACHTS IN THESE AREAS. BECAUSE MOST OVERSEAS JURISDICTIONS ARE SUBJECT TO A DIFFERENT RULE OF LAW; THAT IS, OLD ROMAN LAW AND NAPOLEONIC LAW, WHERE BUYERS ARE "ON THEIR OWN" AND THE FOREIGN AGENTS OWE THE BUYER NOTHING. UNDER THOSE LAWS "CAVEAT EMPTOR" (LET THE BUYER BEWARE!) APPLIES AS WELL AS ANOTHER PRECEPT OF OLD ROMAN LAW WHICH IS "IF A SELLER TAKES ADVANTAGE OF A BUYER, THEN THE BUYER ALLOWED IT TO HAPPEN!" ...THESE SHARKS OVERSEAS ROUTINELY SEIZE BUYER'S DEPOSITS FOR ANY REASON THEY CAN CONJURE UP AND "GOOD LUCK GETTING LEGAL RECOURSE!". NEVER SEND THEM A DEPOSIT.
ON THE OTHER HAND, LICENSED AND BONDED FLORIDA YACHT AND SHIP BROKERS HAVE THE STRICTEST LAW IN THE WORLD GOVERNING THEIR ACTIONS AND THEY OWE A FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY TO THEIR BUYER. THEY USE A COMMON LAW BASED PURCHASE AGREEMENT THAT IS FAIR TO BOTH PARTIES. THE BUYER CAN CANCEL THE DEAL FOR ANY REASON DURING THE "DUE-DILIGENCE" PERIOD AND GET A REFUND OF DEPOSIT. DO NOT EVER CONSENT TO USE A FOREIGN CONTRACT. THEY HIGHLY FAVOR THE SELLER.
SINCE I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR 32 YEARS I KNOW HOW TO MAKE THE PROCESS RUN MUCH SMOOTHER AND FASTER.

Great setting to learn in, thanks for the incredible informative information!

[@Catamarans]

My pleasure!

[@darthkek1953]

There are zero people who regret using a good broker. There are a lot of people who regret using no broker or a bad broker.

[@hangoverbrothers]

Best team to work with. They make time for you and help you relax. Most brokers do not get back to you for days. These guys will try hard to answer any question you have when they can. Love you Rudy! 2A.

Watch parlay revival on youtube its a must

[@Catamarans]

I SOLD PARLAY TO THE OWNER WHO HAD IT BEFORE HURRICANE IRMA HIT IT HARD. WE PERFORMED A FULL RIG SURVEY AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT PARLAY HAD NO RIGGING ISSUES OR ANY OTHER MAJOR ISSUES BEFORE IRMA HIT. HURRICANES DO WEIRD THINGS TO YACHTS. THIS ISSUE IS WAAAY OVERBLOWN. ONLY 40 CLAIMS FOR 800 YACHTS BUILT. THAT'S 5%.

[@wbcorkery]

Great video. Thank you so much.

[@paulsaleba5537]

I appreciate your honesty. I'll definitely call you when I'm ready.

[@martinliversidge3419]

I hope you are watching Parlay Revival on KZbin and i hope when you are selling lagoon cats that you check this issues

[@baseballunderthelights2373]

Gary - Can you talk specifically about the benefits of using a buyers broker in a new boat purchase through a manufactures broker here in the USA? Is this an area a buyers broker can be of benefit?

[@Catamarans]

IT'S A BIT MORE DIFFICULT WHEN BUYING A NEW YACHT. THE BEST ADVICE I CAN GIVE IS TO BE SURE AND GET A TOUGH MARINE SURVEYOR TO INSPECT THE YACHT AFTER COMMISSIONING...I OWNED FLORIDA'S LARGEST SAILING YACHT DEALERSHIP AND WE USED TO HAVE 50-150 DEFECTS ON EACH NEW YACHT!!!

[@Ian_Woods]
