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

“In addition to all of his knowledge & experience, Bill has a great sense of humor.”

We are writing to tell you how much we enjoyed working with Bill Mark in our recent acquisition of a Grand Banks. We have been sailors for over 35 years in the San Fran Bay Area and cruising for the last 8 years up in the Northwest in our sailboat. We recently decided to move to a trawler for more cruising comfort.

Bill is very knowledgeable of both power and sailing vessels and was quick to recognize the changes we were looking for in our transition to a motor vessel and educated us as to the current status of the used boat market in our price range.

When we found a local Grand Banks we were interested in, he drove to the marina and walked through the boat first, giving his opinion on the condition of the boat which allowed us to determine whether to pursue it further. He accommodated our schedules, responded very quickly to all our calls and emails, provided an extensive list of boat surveyors after our offer was made and accepted, as well as bank financing referrals.  We appreciated his experience with the negotiations and the step by step process of the sales transaction including financing and title transfer.

Going above and beyond, he offered to deliver our boat from Lake Union to Gig Harbor since it appeared we might still be out of town when the transaction closed.  When the transaction did finally close, we were back home but Bill still insisted that he and his wife Kathy join us for the delivery from Lake Union to Gig Harbor.  They instructed and assisted us with getting through the Ballard locks and during the rest of the delivery we enjoyed sharing our respective boat experiences.  It was so helpful to have them there to assist us with docking our new boat at her new home.

In addition to all of his knowledge and experience, Bill has a great sense of humor.

When the time comes to sell, we would look first to Bill Marks to broker the transaction.
