The small boats are what feed the family while they wait for the big sale.
For those who have such a disdain for brokers and have shown it here, so much that many here would not want them as a client, I give this warning. Your opinion of brokers is a self fulfilling prophecy. You go in with that attitude and none of them will want to deal with you, and don't think for one moment you're masking it. Now, the only one you can change is yourself so I'd suggest thinking long and hard about how to work more pleasantly and effectively with brokers. The best way is still working with only one so you don't have to deal with those you don't like. You're choosing to punish them and yourself by sticking to your current methods of contacting selling broker after selling broker for years. The system isn't going to change.
BandB,
Well, here's a thought....
Why would a broker have distain for any client, as long as the client is reasonable? The vast majority of buyers are serious. While some of them will never buy a boat, most will. You just don't go out an spend a lot of time and money as a buyer looking at boats without "some" seriousness. Sure, it might take a few years, but the brokers job is to convince them to buy the brokers boat. That's sales and that's his job. If he fails to do that, then he's failed and makes nothing.
It's MUCH harder to find a good broker than it is a good buyer. Food for thought.
