Frequently Asked Questions about Yacht Sales Brokers
Welcome to The Advantaged Yacht Charters & Sales. If you’re considering purchasing or chartering a luxury yacht, you may have questions about the process and how a yacht broker can assist you.
Understanding Yacht Broker Services
A yacht broker bridges the gap between the yacht buyer or charterer and the yacht seller or owner, making the overall process smooth and efficient for both parties. The services offered by The Advantaged Yacht Charters & Sales can assist you in finding the right yacht.
1. Will a yacht broker try to get me the best deal?
Many buyers may question if the broker works on behalf of the buyer to get the best deal or works with the seller to get the mostmoney for commission purposes.
The answer is that a good yacht broker will work hard to get you, the buyer, the best deal there is by doing their due diligence and checking comparable boats.This allows us to get the actual value of the boat on the current market before presenting it to the buyer.When this is done, the potential buyer can make a reasonable offer to seller.
A broker should always present the value and not what he/she thinks it’s worth. That is what makes a broker a great broker. In our industry, yacht sales brokers cannot be compared to a regular salesman trying to scam you for a buck. Why? Yacht sales brokers seek to obtain:
i. Happy clients
ii. Long term relationships
iii. Positive word of mouth
iv. A good business reputation
