“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!”
We had an outstanding experience working with Andrew Hodgdon to find our dream boat, an Outremer 52.
We were actually referred to him by several different people—clients who had been very happy working with him, as well as boat owners who were planning to use him to sell their own boats. After working with Andrew ourselves, we completely understand why he came so highly recommended.
We worked with him for several months, and from start to finish, he was exceptional. Andrew is incredibly knowledgeable and truly an expert when it comes to performance catamarans. He took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for, was always responsive and organized, and never made us feel pressured throughout the process.
Andrew went above and beyond to arrange showings for us in multiple states and even traveled to another state to be there with us for the sea trial. His expertise and guidance gave us tremendous confidence as we evaluated such a significant purchase.
The entire process could have been overwhelming, but he made it remarkably smooth. He was on top of every detail and made the paperwork and closing process easy, working seamlessly with his team at The Multihull Company.
What impressed us most was that he genuinely had our best interests in mind. And his support didn’t end when the sale was completed. He has continued to stay in touch and has made it clear that he is still available to help us if we ever need him. That kind of follow-through is rare and speaks volumes about the kind of broker he is.
Buying an Outremer 52 was a huge decision and a major investment, and having someone with his knowledge, experience, responsiveness, and integrity made the entire experience so much easier and more enjoyable.
We couldn’t recommend Andrew Hodgdon more highly. If you’re looking for a yacht broker—especially if you’re considering a performance catamaran—we would choose him again without hesitation. The fact that so many people recommended him to us was the reason we called him, and after working with him, we would be one of those people recommending him to others.
I highly recommend Andrew Hodgdon. He served as our buyers broker. He is responsive, highly knowledgeable and very experienced. He is also an excellent guide and counselor before, during and after the boat purchase process. If you are looking for a good-sailing cat, he seems to collect most of the available boats on the better-sailing side of the market. Top marks.
Andrew did an excellent job getting me started on my new adventures. Worked with my conflicting schedule. Is very knowledgeable in the catamaran industry. 😎
I recently sold my Lagoon 450 with the Multihull Team. I would highly recommend their services. The professionalism and personal treatment I received was greatly appreciated.
Great Service, Great People
Helped me through the process.
I would go through them again in a future purchase.
