“My husband and I recently purchased a
Lagoon 421, with Cynthia Wummer as Broker and we have a very long list of
accolades for her. Instead, I’ll give you a Top Ten!
1. She intuits what really matters to the client. We felt
100% comfortable that Cynthia could evaluate all potentials — knowing
that she “gets us.” Which is the main ingredient in client trust.
2. She hones the decision process. Early on, she sensed we were struggling
with size. She economized our travel time with a day of boat visits to
“try on” a range of 39 to 48 footers, so we could isolate boat size as a
defining criteria going forward.
3. She has buckets of initiative. She was ever quick to scout the back
story on a boat, travel to make an inspection, send video, arrange virtual
tours … and kept us current at all times.
4. She has even more buckets of knowledge. We relied on her first-hand
experience to guide our live-aboard decisions (power and electrical,
engine, boat handling, watermaker, gear, etc.) Plus, she shares her
seemingly endless contacts of marine experts and contractors.
5. She’s responsive … answering emails, texts, phone calls —
pronto. Grass does not grow under those tanned feet.
6. She advances the ball. She took an inquiry to verbal agreement to paper
with just the right pressure on the pedal. And, even tho that sale didn’t
go thru … (read on).
7. She is a contingency planner. Behind the scenes, Cynthia stayed in
contact for months with a sell-by-owner that initially refused to budge;
but ultimately became ready to deal.
8. She keeps all parties at the table. She instinctively kept the “we’re not
budging” seller comfortable and communicating.
9. Cynthia can reverse-engineer to keep a deal alive. Our sellers had a
sticking point about the VAT and sale price– and Cynthia kept
negotiating until they were satisfied — ultimately to our benefit.
10. She is compassionate and giving… such as hosting us in her home, letting us store
shipments in her garage, and checking on us during the corona virus crazy. Not as
a sales person, but as someone who cares about clients as people. Cynthia is
an awesome human who has your back.
When we’re ready for our next boat (like all sailors, eventually), we know she’ll have
our back again!”
I chose Zee (Zvonimir Kalinic) after posting an ad for a broker on Yacht Sales from about 15 other brokers because he showed professionalism and care right away compared to the others. Most of the brokers never intended to show people my boat but yet somehow expected to collect commission. Zee met me in Novigrad and spent 3 hours taking photos and drone footage and throughout the listing period was communicating continuously and advising me about any offers that came through. His service was at a high standard that I was extremely happy with and felt comfortable at all times especially since I’m in Sydney and my boat is in Montenegro. I can’t recommend Zee highly enough to anyone looking to sell their boat with peace of mind.
The brokerage team has been amazing. They helped me find the right catamaran for our family of four, with enough space for extended family and friends to stay with us anytime. The broker really helped me narrow down what I needed. I started with a long list and eventually narrowed it down to something that was the right fit and price for me.
I cannot speak too highly of Andrew Hodgdon and his colleagues at the Multihull Company.
The process of selling my boat was very smooth and well managed and with excellent communication – especially important as I was unable to be nearby during the sale process. Andrew’s deep knowledge of the market and my boat was very reassuring. We spoke regularly and he kept me closely advised all the way through to a happy sale. I found him a good guy, very helpful, willing to share and bounce ideas around, and I enjoyed working with him. Highly recommended!
Andrew Hodgdon and The Multihull Company are really professional! I just closed a deal with them, and everything was pretty smooth. Andrew was punctual, showed a lot of expertise, and he was honest about all the problems with the boat. He is also giving me the support I need to run all the projects on this boat. This whole process was much better than I was expecting, and I recommend this team! Thank you, Andrew.
