The Boatshed Sales Process
At Boatshed, we have developed a comprehensive and structured process for selling your boat, ensuring transparency and efficiency at every stage. Here's an updated overview of our sales process:
The Process
Boat Visit
Our local Boatshed broker will schedule a convenient appointment to inspect your boat. During this visit, we will document the complete inventory and capture extensive photographs, videos, and virtual reality (VR) images. You'll also be asked to sign a standard listing agreement to formalise our partnership.
Valuation
Leveraging data from over 20,000 boats we've sold, we will recommend an optimal listing price. This valuation considers your boat's condition, current market trends, and our extensive sales data to ensure a competitive and realistic price point.
Marketing
We will create a bespoke, detailed listing for your boat, incorporating all collected media. Once live, your boat will be promoted across our global network of over 70 Boatshed offices and featured on prominent websites such as Apollo Duck and Rightboat. Our platform utilises advanced technology, including machine learning and targeted marketing campaigns, reaching our extensive customer base.
Viewings
We manage all customer enquiries and coordinate both in-person and virtual viewings. Being local, we can liaise with surveyors and marina personnel as needed. Through 'My Boatshed', your secure online area, you can access real-time information on all activities, viewings, and sales data related to your boat.
Negotiation
We are committed to presenting all offers for your consideration and will handle the negotiation process diligently. Our goal is to achieve an agreeable price promptly, managing the sale from start to finish and keeping you informed throughout.
Sale Secured
Beyond regular updates, your broker will utilise local knowledge to assist with arrangements for servicing, delivery, cleaning, and other logistics. We provide friendly advice and professional service before, during, and after the sale of your boat.
