Hey All – I know others have posted questions on this topic but wanted to revisit it in today’s seller’s market … that is, the pros / cons of a buyer’s broker.
Aside from helping with the process, it seems that a key value is in finding off-market or almost-to-market leads. We have targeted our search specifically to KK42s in the 1980-1990+ vintage (approx. $200-$300k). We feel like we can navigate the buying process reasonably well, but wondering if engaging a broker would really be helpful in sourcing a boat.
Appreciate any thoughts. Also, would a larger firm that has an East Coast and West Coast presence be preferred over others (i.e. broader market coverage) ... we are in the PNW, but open to a purchase on the E coast, specifically Florida, and shipping home. Would also appreciate recommendations on a broker and/or firm. Thanks much!
