I met Russ six years ago, and since then he has sold 3 boats for me and helped me buy 2 others. Throughout all of that I felt like I was in very capable hands, and his integrity is first-rate. That's the most important thing I shop for in a yacht broker.
Looking at the next 5 boats is never a burden, even if it makes a lot more work for him. Going back to a prospective buyer many times with counter-offers was never a burden, and he always represented my interests 100% regardless of the effect it would have on his commissions or workload.
Russ' firsthand knowledge of the yachting industry and the specific boats in question was always top-notch. All in all, Russ just made me feel confident in whatever direction we ended up going. I couldn't ask for any more.
Trust him, and you'll see.
