GOLDEN KEY YACHT SALES specializes in enhancing exposure for New York Boats For Sale By Owner, New Jersey Boats For Sale By Owner, Connecticut Boats For Sale By Owner, New York Yachts For Sale By Owner, New Jersey Yachts For Sale By Owner and Connecticut Yachts For Sale By Owner. Many boat owners realize that the Internet offers access to millions of potential buyers, so they are attempting a Yacht or Boat For Sale By Owner strategy. The goal of these owners is to sell their boat without paying a commission to a yacht broker. There is more involved to selling a boat or yacht than placing ads in New York Boat Classifieds, New Jersey Boat Classifieds, Connecticut Boat Classifieds, New York Yacht Classifieds, New Jersey Yacht Classifieds and Connecticut Yacht Classifieds.

GOLDEN KEY YACHT SALES is the leading yacht broker for used and pre-owned yacht or boat owners tired of paying high commissions. Many boat owners avoid working with brokers because of the 10-15% commission charged on a boats sale price. A paradigm shift is taking place in the yacht brokerage industry, and few yacht brokers are embracing this change. The Internet is substantially reducing the marketing costs associated with selling a boat. We have chosen to take a leadership position by sharing these savings with customers and working for substantially less than the standard 10-15% commission. Customers agree that this innovative approach to working with sellers makes sense.

Most sellers are uncomfortable with a yacht broker deducting a 10-15% commission from the sale price upon closing. In order to facilitate owners attempting a Yacht or Boat For Sale By Owner strategy, NO COMMISSION is charged on the net sale price. Sellers determine an acceptable net sale price and and engage professionals to enhance current marketing efforts. In the event of sale, GOLDEN KEY YACHT SALES compensation shall only be comprised of sale proceeds in excess of the agreed upon net sale price. If a customer sells a boat without assistance, no commission is owed.

Example
A seller wants to sell a 65' Hatteras Motor Yacht 1996 and needs to net $1,000,000 on this yacht. The seller signs an Open Listing Agreement to launch a marketing campaign with agreed upon sale proceeds of no less than $1,000,000 to the seller. The yacht is listed on Yachtworld, BoatTraderOnline, Boats, iBoats and other leading marine websites with an asking price of $1,150,000. The yacht is sold for a price of $1,050,000. We would deliver the agreed upon sale proceeds of $1,000,000 to the seller.

As per the Open Listing Agreement, GOLDEN KEY YACHT SALES compensation shall only be comprised of sale proceeds in excess of the agreed upon net sale price. The difference between the actual sale price of $1,050,000 and the agreed upon net sale price of $1,000,000 is $50,000. This $50,000 represents sale proceeds in excess of the agreed upon net sale price for about a 5% commission. This innovative sales strategy provides customers with major savings versus traditional yacht brokers. In the same scenario, a broker charging a 10% commission would deliver sale proceeds of $945,000 to the seller.

It should be noted that there might be additional costs associated with any transaction, which will further reduce this commission. These costs will be the sole responsibility of the broker, unless agreed to in writing by a seller. The example above is strictly hypothetical and is for illustrative purposes only. Each transaction is unique and no example can accurately reflect all of the possible scenarios that may be encountered.

Many sellers hope for results with little or no investment in advertising.
