How to sell your boat faster and
for top dollar.
Beware the buzz: There's a joke in
real estate about spotting watchwords
in listings. For example, "close
to shopping," could mean you can
hear traffic noise from the backyard.
Be careful writing a boat listing with
phrases like "custom paint!" or
"rebuilt engine!" because, without
explanations, these well-meaning
buzzwords can raise red flags.
Picture perfect: Upload multiple
photos to your boat listing and post
the best photo first to encourage
maximum engagement. The "sweet
spot" falls between 11 and 25 photos,
and in these times of social distancing,
share video tours. Listings
with video tours see more activity
than those without.
Market price: Position your boat
as the catch of the day with competitive
pricing. To determine an
accurate price range for your boat,
look at listings for similar boats in
similar condition. For quick research,
use the Boat Trader Price Checker
tool.
Be responsive: As the seller, it's
important that you build trust with a
potential buyer, which can lead to a
faster sale and willingness to pay
more money. Respond within 24
hours - if not sooner - to keep interest
high and attract that perfect
sale.
The bottom line is this: Timing is
everything. If selling your boat has
crossed your mind, either in order
to upgrade or put money in the
bank, the time is now. Surging interest
in boating and limited inventories
could mean faster sales and
more money in your pocket if you
take action today. ∞
