Most listings fall apart at survey. Not because the boat is bad, but because something turned up that nobody had mentioned, and the buyer stopped trusting everything else on the boat at the same moment.
I go through your boat before it goes on the market. Bilges, engine room, strainers, shore power, the places a surveyor is going to look. Then we decide together what gets fixed and what gets disclosed.
A price that holds. A buyer who learns about a problem from you, up front, with paperwork, negotiates on the repair. A buyer whose surveyor finds it renegotiates the whole deal or walks.
Fewer showings, better ones. A boat that is honestly described attracts people who actually want that boat.
No surprises at closing. Which is the whole job.
Every service record you have, even the messy ones. A stack of invoices in a folder tells me more about a boat in an hour than a walkthrough does in a day.
And the honest version of the history. If something happened to the boat, I would rather know on day one. There is almost always a way to sell a boat with a story attached. There is no way to sell one where the story turns up at survey.
