Our Clients Aren't Trophies, They're
Friends We've Met On Our Journey

“Russ Schafer was proactive and savvy…”

I wanted to put into words just how much my family and I appreciate the amazing experience we had working with you and the Denison team.

I hope the following testimonial will help other sellers make the best decision in their boat selling strategy which is hiring Russ Schaffer of Denison Yachts to do what he does so well – sell his client’s yachts quickly and at a fair price – a win-win for both the buyer and seller.

After the passing of my step-father, selling the boat he and my mother loved, was one of the most daunting and time-sensitive tasks. Each month we continued to pay the hefty expenses added to our already mournful and anxiety-ridden emotional situation.

We had our boat listed with another broker for 6 months and during that time we had one serious prospect and about 5 other buyers who visited the boat but appeared to be more tire kickers than motivated buyers.

Russ was referred to us by a yacht owner that had a slip where our boat was located. He shared that he had bought and sold 5 yachts through Russ and vouched for his and his family’s reputation – stating that if we were serious about selling our boat, that Denison is the best in the biz.

After an initial phone call to vet Russ and a few Q&A emails – I was sold and contracted with Denison Yachts to sell our boat. Russ and his digital marketing specialist Drew drove 3 hours to our boat, staged it for an inside photo shoot and took it out to shoot a video using a drone – very high-tech! The video was so awesome – it made me want to keep the boat.

Leveraging their robust online marketing network – we received 3 calls within 2 hours of our listing going live. Within a week, we had 3 showings scheduled and our first offer 2 1/5 weeks later.

Russ was proactive and savvy, giving me guidance on how to evaluate the offers from price to survey and closing. This resulted in me countering on an offer and standing my ground which made it possible for me to entertain another offer simultaneously which ended up being the deal we closed on – just shy of 2 weeks after the offer was excepted and a week and 3 days after the survey.

Thank you, Denison Yachts, for a job well done!
