Warren, good hearing from you , as mentioned before I know Greg also bought my H27 from him, and if I go with a broker it'll be with him.
Right now I'm looking for options and advises from you guys and so far they reinforce my first thoughts. [links]
I too know how valuable this site for selling boats is due to past experience. It sounds like Greg who is a broker is well known with a good reputation. Thank you for letting me know about your stance on Craig's list. [links]
If there is ever an issue, a good broker knows how to handle. Like some have pointed out, be prepared with all that is required to selling a boat to include being available at all times to show, sea trials, etc. if you have the time which most do not have.
I'd try this site and craigslist first. more
Thank you in advance for your help and tips . more
It's a Hunter 27' 1981 ( great shape) and we are near Annapolis . Should I try by myself and put adds in this site and others or go directly with a broker, price ?
This is the first thing buyers will notice, as price and size are the most common parameters used to search for boats. Because of the Internet, buyers are very educated and have most likely done their research on price and know what a fair target is. Overpricing your boat not only makes a bad first impression to potential buyers – it actually costs more in the end when you add up the months of holding costs such as your mortgage, storage fees, and insurance. It’s much better to price it right and turn down offers than to have it sit with no interest. Also, it’s important to be realistic about the value of the upgrades you’ve done to your boat. Overvaluing these sunk costs – costs that have already been incurred and cannot be recovered – is the most critical mistake sellers make when putting a value on their boat.
You hear it all the time in real estate – location, location, location! You may not think it’s as important when selling your boat, but it IS! Location plays a big role in how much traffic you’ll get and can make a big difference in how quickly your boat sells. A clean boat that’s priced right but kept in a remote location or is difficult to access will receive much less attention than the one that’s right in the action. Many times buyers are traveling from out of town to a boat buying destination (such as Annapolis) to see several boats in one day. If yours is too far off the beaten path, the chances someone is going to see it – either planned or by chance – are much lower. here
You know the saying that you never get a second chance to make a first impression? The first impression your boat leaves on potential buyers is SO important! A clean boat that’s tidy and well organized gives potential buyers a positive message that says “this boat was loved and well cared for”. Subliminally, it leaves them with the impression that the things they CAN’T see are just as well kept. On the other hand, a boat that is dirty and cluttered with unfinished projects gives the impression that no one cares about it anymore. A neglected boat plants a seed of doubt that often results in a low offer (doubt = dollars!) or worse, no offer at all! Pay attention to all aspects of the boat – the hull, deck, interior and even storage and mechanical spaces, as buyers will look everywhere and judge your boat on what they see!
