Buyer`s brokers are rare here. Maybe it happens if time poor high end buyers retain someone to search for the right boat. Mostly buyers deal direct with the seller`s broker, or if no broker, the seller.
Occasionally a buyer might deal with/get to know a broker, who finds or knows a seller/broker with a boat, that would be a "conjunction" sale where the 2 brokers split commission. Or a broker might bring in a sub broker, and share commission.
The concept of a "buyers broker" who gets paid, by the seller, only if a deal gets up, reeks of "conflict of interest" to me.
