cant stand boat brokers... story
so i call on a boat...
left message at the company... listing broker no call back
call again next day
get his cell num
call and he answers
says he has gotten an numerous call and one offer...
my question is this? is offer... secret? sealed?... no other offers to be taken? until the current offer plays out?
should the boat seller not know he has another cash offer? possibly higher
or the deal closed until that original offer plays out?
boat not under contract at this time as far as i know
this is just a regular sale... not some sort of repo listing/auction
maybe im over reacting.... i stayed very calm... broker got rude
maybe im in the wrong (been known to happen
)

As the seller I would want to know about ALL offers on the table. The question is, was the previous offer accepted by the seller? If so, that offer now becomes an agreement to buy/sell and you are out of luck. If it has NOT been accepted, seller should be made aware.

Sounds like he's gotten a friend that wants to buy it, or has had a lot of tire kickers and is simply annoyed with them calling. At that point, its his responsibility to turn the boat back to the owner to sell elsewhere.
I have a great broker in Stony Point, NY that was awesome to work with and treated me like I was Donald Trump, and I showed up in a beat up Geo Metro to Look at the boat. If youre looking for something, PM me and I'll forward you his contact info.

I think he holds
the record at 7 surveys in a summer with no purchase. Though at least one the broker screwed him then too.
