As a buyer, I enjoyed working with John as he was honest and straight forward throughout the transaction. When we put an offer on a boat, and he did not wait or play broker games and called the seller in front of us and presented the offer. We enjoyed working with him and would not hesitate to do so again. He may be a little unorganized, but sure made up for it through his integrity.
This brokerage is a joke. I made an offer on a boat. Went and took out the loan for the amount against a CD. Then two hours before he close on it was schedule to close the broker calls and said there has been a mix up and he had made the offer on the boat. He had supposedly made the offer on a boat that was much less of a boat. In fact the offer was MORE than that boat was listed for.John has sent me to look at several boats and when I got there they were the wrong boats too. He has zero professionalism or accountability.Worst part is I bought another boat form him last year. He all but train wrecked that one too.I do NOT recommend this brokerage for anything.
Gave them a call to see a boat. They said sure give them a couple days notice. I gave them a couple days notice and drove over 200 miles and got a hotel, gave them one days notice. No response to email or phone messages. They dont answer phones. gave zero days notice and still no response. Office phone is full and not taking messages and cell phone is ignored as is email. Never saw the boat.If you have a boat listed with these guys you might want to find someone else that isnt shafting potential sales.
Bought 2 boats from John and sold 2 with his brokerage. All transactions were professional and smooth. John died early this year. He was a real gentleman and an honest broker!
This outfit is a joke....they dont return phone calls or email.
The guy that ran or owned the company had some health issues and died. I had listed a boat with them that was never advertised. I was contacted by Len Barton who had supposedly worked there and was taking over the business but that must have fell through as he never returned calls. I think they are out of business if not I would not do business with them.
