CASH OFFER OR LIST WITH A BROKER?
If time matters more than top dollar, a cash offer makes sense. If it doesn't, list.
| CASH OFFER | LISTING WITH A BROKER | |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | Set by inspection & closing | Depends on the market for your boat |
| Price | Usually below retail | Usually closer to retail, less commission |
| Showings | One inspection | Showings & sea trials |
| Buyer financing | Not a factor | A buyer's loan & survey can delay or end a deal |
WATCH FOR
CASH OFFER QUESTIONS
How fast is a cash offer?
It depends on the boat & how quickly an inspection can be scheduled. Complete details & good photos shorten the review.
Can I sell a boat that still has a loan on it?
Usually. The loan is paid off from the sale proceeds at closing.
Am I guaranteed an offer?
No. Buyers decide which boats they make offers on, & any offer depends on inspection & clear title.
What if I turn the offer down?
Nothing happens. There's no obligation to accept, & no cost to request.
Would donating make more sense?
Sometimes, for older or hard-to-sell boats. Compare both on the donation page.
Cash offers come from qualified buyers who review your submission. Submitting a request does not guarantee an offer. Any offer is subject to inspection, clear title & payoff of existing liens.
