Sell your vessel with us
Excel Yacht Sales is a group of experienced brokers who will list and promote your vessel, or help you find what you are looking for, and management staff who will ensure that your purchase or sale is done properly.
People often consider the value of using a broker to buy and sell assets. Real estate owners use real estate agents to sell property. Entertainers use managers to sell their talents to secure work. Unions use negotiators to secure contract terms. Transactions negotiated by a third party frequently increase the final accepted value by an amount greater than the third party’s fee. Let’s explore how Excel Yacht Sales can help you achieve this result and more!
Sellers should arm themselves with as much information as possible so they can position their asset competitively in the market place. Focus should be in a few key areas: preparation, pricing, promotion, presentation, processing.
Preparation
Preparation of your asset is the first step to ensure getting the best price. Vessels should be cleaned from stem to stern including engine room. Paint the decks and deal with rust if needed. Excel Yacht Sales has the experience and knowledge to point out key spots that may need extra attention to please viewers.
Pricing
Pricing your asset correctly is crucial to a sale. An over-priced asset is unlikely to generate many inquiries and could potentially leave your asset languishing for months. Under-pricing might make for quick interest but that just means lost money for the seller. Pricing is based on market history, current economic trends, and current demand of buyers. Excel Yacht Sales brokers have over a decade of sales data to draw from in order to determine a current market evaluation of your asset.
Promotion
Promoting your asset will generate the leads you need. Advertising your vessel in the right places can be expensive, especially in a crowded market. Excel Yacht Sales brokers do quality photo shoots of your vessel and write eye-catching descriptive text. Excel Yacht Sales buys advertising space in bulk so we can advertise many listings at reduced cost. Excel Yacht Sales also utilizes the internet to get your vessel seen on our website and others like Boats.com, Used.com and Craigslist, and Facebook and Google ads.
Presentation
Presentation converts those important leads into sales. Dealing with prospective buyers can be stressful and time-consuming. Excel Yacht Sales assess and filter leads to determine serious buyers and steer them towards an offer.
Processing
Processing the paperwork can be daunting to the novice seller. Vessels may require various government forms to be filled out. Transferring money and asset ownership safely is a huge concern. Excel Yacht Sales has relationships with various government agencies, lawyers, and transport companies to ensure smooth transactions. Excel Yacht Sales even has people in the USA to help with the often complicated transactions of cross-border deals.
