Yacht & Boat Broker/New Sales

• Aug 2018 - Present

I am results driven and care about true relationships. I assist both buyers and sellers in the West Michigan area to understand and gain visibility into a sometimes complicated buying/selling process. The reason clients enjoy working with me is that I listen to their wants & needs and am able to lead them to a vessel that perfectly matches what they desire, all without breaking their budget. I have a very relaxed and fun approach and strive to make the process a great one. After all, buying a boat should be a fun experience! If you have concerns about your current dealer/broker or just want to explore new options, please email me at ayoung@skipperbuds.com so we can have a conversation to learn more about each other. Today’s boating industry is ever evolving and always changing. Dealers must learn to navigate through the constant changes in order to thrive inside a highly competitive industry. Some of the things I do to help my clients feel at ease while buying their boat are: • I move at YOUR pace – NEVER trying to misguide you or hurry the process • We will tour a number of boats to figure out what features you like and don’t like • We will sea trial the boat you are interested in so you can feel the boat in action • As the largest dealer and service center in the mid-west Skipper Bud’s offers limitless inventory When the time comes and you are ready to start your search, I promise to provide the following: • A comfortable, unobtrusive, no pressure but professional approach • 100% integrity and commitment • Strong open line of communication • A solid lasting relationship and not just leave you with a monthly boat payment • Accurate quotes that reflect the right vessel for you. You will NOT be oversold! If what I am describing is how you prefer to conduct business and you see value in a conversation contact me so we can learn more about each other.
