Denison Yacht Sales is one of the most professional, knowledgeable, and responsive brokerage companies I have ever worked with.
Looking for our next boat, I came across a listing for a Sea Ray Sundancer 350 from Denison Yachting/Thomas Robertson in Dania Beach. I made a call to inquire about it, and in less than ten minutes I received a call from Thomas with full information about the vessel; he scheduled to show me the vessel within 48 hours right on the same call. The boat was exactly as described in the listing, Tom was very knowledgeable about the boat, including services and repairs done to it.
During the entire purchasing process, Tom was there to guide us and deal with any issues that came up. He even contacted a backup surveyor the day before the survey since the scheduled one was not communicating/confirming the attendance.
Thomas went the extra mile looking for a wet slip for the boat around my area (Miami). It was like a mission impossible. But in the end, he was able to find me one in my area, even under my budget.
He was responsive to our requests and always available to answer questions. He is extremely knowledgeable and did everything possible to assist us in the purchase experience. Most seamless purchase ever!
I would highly recommend Thomas Robertson and the Denison Yachting team if you are planning to buy or sell a vessel. This is a high level of service!
I have owned boats for over 50 years and have bought and sold six different boats. My recent boat was a Selene 40 Archer (Plan B). I met Jack when we purchased the boat in Pensacola; he was not with Denison, but had a flair for people and boats. As time passed, Jack introduced himself as a salesperson for Denison and asked me to keep him in mind if we ever thought of selling. Well, the time came to sell and we interviewed Jack and Denison. My experience with Jack was superb.
Jack understood how to value the boat in today's market, he was spot on.
When it came time for pictures, Jack arranged for an aerial as well as interior photos. His knowledge of boats and what is really important produced a great set of sales tools. Along with the Denison website, I feel we got great market exposure.
When the inquiries came in, Jack did a great job of qualifying potential buyers and separating the lookers from serious buyers. Jack was a dual representative for both the sellers and buyers. During the entire sales process from offer, to survey, to closing, Jack was fair to both parties. Yes, we did need to fix some things, but Jack also explained to the buyer that some things were 20 years old but still operational.
Denison did a great job of closing. They requested documents and completed the transaction without any problems.
Overall, the sales experience was the most professional and best of my 50 years of boating.
I work in the service industry providing legal services to others as an attorney and I feel it is most noteworthy to bring Mr Erdmann's performance to your attention. He really went above and beyond in every single respect. My husband Ryan and I had the pleasure of working with Jeff Erdmann for the last two years as we navigated the boat-buying process–to a successful end. We are now the proud and happy owners of a 2012 Leopard 46, named MORADO.
Throughout the undeniably stressful process from finding a broker to closing the deal, Jeff was the most amazing support and source of knowledge for us. Even at points in time when we were about to give up, he stayed strong and steady, giving us options and other ideas to consider. We truly believe he was the most instrumental part in making this dream come true for us and our family.
Jeff was ethical, prompt, and reliable. He gave us his honest opinion in situations where he could have held back to make a deal, and this quality, above all, makes him shine because we felt he really cared for our well-being and that we were not just another sale to him. He had solid referrals and his historical knowledge and experience made us feel comfortable relying on him and his advice in making one of the biggest purchases of our life.
I wanted to write this to express my sincerest appreciation for what he has done for us.
Remarkable service and unbelievable communication! Michael is the gold standard of boat brokers.
I've worked with at least a dozen brokers over the past ten years; working with Michael Johnson was the most enjoyable and refreshing experience by far.
Michael was there for every step of the journey, answering on weekends, holidays, and after hours.
Michael was not only on top of every detail, large and small, but he continued to follow up with me several days after the closing to be certain my experience with our new boat was going well and answering all questions I had about the new systems that we were using for the first time.
I'd feel 110% confident referring anyone to work with Michael on a purchase of any vessel and can rest well knowing they would be very well taken care of.
This outstanding guy even sent me pictures of my family and me on the boat during our sea trial, checked on her mooring in our absence, confirmed the security of the dockage after close and before possession, negotiated with the dock master to keep her put, researched to find maintenance personnel, and many other small but important elements that are above and beyond his duty, without ever complaining when things got sticky.
When it's time to upgrade this boat, Michael is the only broker I'm going to call, and that makes me feel secure that my next purchase will be a breeze and a pleasure.
Call Michael today, you'll see for yourself the personal attention that goes into your deal.
