When it comes to finding your dream boat, Kelly Yacht Sales is your buyers broker partner here on Vancouver Island. But what exactly do we do for you?
Our buyer's broker service provides personalized guidance and expert support every step of the way. Whether you have a clear vision of your ideal vessel or need assistance in defining your requirements, we are here to help you navigate the exciting journey of boat ownership.
Below we’ve broken up the process into distinct phases to help explain what we do when representing you as your buyer’s broker.
Helping you locate your dream vessel is part of the buyer's broker role, but as you'll see below we do much more than that!
The process starts with a personal consultation to understand your wants and needs in a boat. If you already have a specific make and model in mind, we excel at locating those elusive gems. The more specific you are, the better we can leverage our industry network to find your dream boat before it even hits the market. For those unsure of their preferences, we'll work together to define your requirements and present suitable options for your review.
Once we've identified boats that align with your needs, we'll arrange viewings of potential vessels. During these viewings, you'll benefit from our experienced guidance and receive honest feedback on the boats' condition and relative value. With access to the world's largest Multiple Listing Service for boats, we can provide up-to-date information on sales of similar makes and models in our region.
When you find the perfect boat, we'll create a yacht purchase and sales agreement on your behalf. This comprehensive document will be submitted to the seller or their broker, ensuring that your offer includes appropriate subjects to identify any issues with the vessel and its machinery. We'll guide you through the transaction phase, coordinating with third-party service providers, and working to secure a 10% deposit in a trusted account while subject removals are addressed.
We’ll be by your side during critical phases such as surveys, inspections, and sea trials. We'll coordinate with reputable service providers, including surveyors, mechanics, electricians, and riggers, to ensure a thorough evaluation of the boat's condition. If unexpected findings arise, we'll assist in renegotiating the purchase price to protect your interests. Our priority is to ensure that ownership documents are in order and properly transferred into your name.
Even after the purchase, our commitment to exceptional service continues. We'll assist you in finding appropriate service providers for any repairs or maintenance required. Additionally, we can help you locate suitable moorage and storage options to ensure your boat is well cared for.
As you can see, our buyer's broker process is comprehensive, and ultimately designed to make your boat buying experience seamless and enjoyable. With our industry expertise, personalized approach, and extensive network, we’re confident you will find the perfect vessel.
So let’s navigate the waters together and turn your boating dreams into reality!
