We''ve recently had a very positive experience with an Annapolis area broker. We were just wandering the docks--dropped in unannounced. The broker made us feel very welcome, even after my sort of pre-emptory "we''re just looking, not ready to buy" comment. Gave us access to her boats, and then came back to talk to us again. She contacted us several days later (via email!
with some suggestions for a purchase, tied to our timing, including how to best pursue financing.
Long story short, we''re scheduled to close on a new boat in March--a very positive experience all around. I''ll be happy to refer if anyone wants to email me.
Fair winds, Bill
