John, Dinah & Roger - I just wanted to thank you all for your guidance in our purchase of Gato Gordo. John - you, of course, have been especially helpful & knowledgeable from day one and a true pleasure to work with. Roger & Dinah - coming to Rachel’s aid at the boatyard was above and beyond. We could not have imagined a better experience. Thank you again and Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
When I decided to part ways with my Hunter 36, I only made one call. John had been the seller's listing broker when I purchased the boat and it became clear to me during that purchase process that his knowledge of Hunters was unmatched in the Bay Area. If you are looking for someone to get your boat on the market in a week "As Is", John is not your guy. While the boat was well maintained, John has connections to a talented network of low cost repair workers that were able to get the boat to near Bristol condition over the course of several weeks. While it required a little upfront investment, this approach shortened the time on the market and enabled us to get a price close to ask and at the high end of the comps. If you are looking for a talented and highly knowledgeable broker to provide a turnkey solution to maximize sale value on your sailboat, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend John. While I haven't used him on a purchase, I am certain his knowledge and eye for detail would benefit any buyer equally.
