Purchasing anything of significant value such as property, a business or a boat is an involved and somewhat daunting process – especially if this is your first time. There can be several hoops to jump through and oftentimes you may feel ‘rushed’ as the list of ‘to do’s’ grows and your excitement can shift to feelings of anxiety. 

The best way to ensure a smooth purchasing experience with a seller is to engage a professional Broker as your Buying Agent. This also provides the seller with assurance that you are serious about your intention to purchase his/her vessel. Instead of walking blindly forward, you will be guided through every step of the process feeling confident and prepared for becoming a boat owner.

A Buying Agent handles the vessel purchase on your behalf. Removing the guesswork and ‘what ifs’ from the equation helps to alleviate stress as we navigate through the process with you. In some cases, using an Agent may prevent you from entering into an unfavourable situation where to ‘walk away’ may be the most sensible option for you.

"Sonia at EziYacht was fabulous at all stages from initial enquiry through to purchase, hand-over and beyond. I was an interstate buyer who could not travel to see the boat before purchase. Sonia arranged video tours, out of water survey, delivery of the boat to a marina for handover and continued assistance with arrangements and providing useful after handover. Just a fabulous experience all-round."
