Preparing, valuing and marketing a boat in Komodo, through sea trials to a signed purchase agreement. Commission indicative, confirmed on enquiry.
Selling in Komodo
Selling a boat in Komodo takes a realistic price, a well-prepared vessel and the right buyers. A broker handles the market study, marketing, viewings, sea trials and negotiation for a commission of typically 5–10% of the sale price, indicative and confirmed on enquiry.
