Tell Me More! Sign Me Up!It was just over a decade ago that POP was born in a small, but lively town, of Sarasota, FL. POP was raised with a simple philosophy: to ethically, efficiently, and intelligently market vessels for sale.
POP spent all her time on the Internet (at a time when buying boats online was unheard of) while the other brokers were busy playing at the marinas, pounding the docks, handing out business cards in search of listings.
The other brokers laughed, said that POP was doing it all wrong. "You'll never amount to much!", they said. But POP stayed the course, and wasn't afraid to be different.
And then POP started to grow...steadily expanding throughout Florida, and then up the East Coast, and then headed West, and then on to the North!
What started off as 100 or so listings, became 500, then 1,000, then 2,500, then 5,000. And POP refuses to stop growing!
But do you know what the best part of this story is? The best part of this story is that this is still just the beginning.
These are the tasks a POP boat or RV broker is expected to perform. The common threads are relationship-building and doing what you said you were going to do when you said you were going to do it.
We know you are excited (or at least curious) to know more! Here are some short answers to common questions.
POP doesn't ever charge any fees to sales associates. That means no fees for training, no marketing fees, no monthly fees, and no fees per sale, ever. However, some states do have rules, fees, and restrictions and this should be understood in advance.
The sale of boats is actually regulated in only three states: Florida, California, and Virginia. This means that, if you live in either of these states, you'll need to apply with your state for a license and pay the license fee and pay to have a bond kept with the state in your name. The total fees for this range from $15 - $590 and are payable to the state and a bond agency. The licensing process usually takes from 2 - 4 weeks. If you live in any other state, you won't need to pay for any licensing.
Additionally, we're not able to sell RVs in every state. If you're interested in selling RVs too, check the map below to see if you live in one of the states where RV sales are restricted. If, for example, you live in Louisiana or Florida, you are able to sell boats and RVs. If you live in Utah or South Carolina, it's boats only. Check the map below for your state.
If you are located in Wisconsin, or in Canada, local regulations require that independent contractors are hired as a business entity. Once you receive your hiring paperwork, please fill them out in the name of that entity and include the EIN where requested.
Working as a boat and yacht broker is the perfect complement to your current position as a real estate broker. A broker really is a broker, no matter what the asset is. All of the things you do every day as a real estate broker are the same things we do every day.
Our brokers sign up new sellers via listing agreements, drive out to photograph and video the units, build the online advertisement by writing a compelling description and uploading the photos and video, answer calls and emails from interested buyers, send out contracts to buyers, negotiate a deal if there is a counter-offer, meet buyers for a showing on their units, and meet the buyers when they come to pick up the unit and take it home.
If it sounds familiar and you're open to splitting your time between real estate brokerage as well as boat and RV brokerage, we'd like to hear from you.
