Certified Preowned
My Review and Certification of Preowned Amel Yachts consists of these parts:
- A Certified Preowned Amel Report - informs the Buyer of the Condition and establishes the value. This is the "certification." For a sample of a Certified Preowned Amel Report (click here).
- A spreadsheet listing items that should be addressed. It is divided into the Owner's responsibility and the Buyer's responsibility. An example of the Buyer's responsibility is reprogramming an EPIRB & VHF with your information. For a sample of a Certified Preowned Amel Spreadsheet (click here).
The report will be certified to meet a specific category in the List of "Condition Categories" I use for Amels (click here). The certification is perfect for Amels in excellent condition. Still, it is equally valuable for Amels requiring a major refit, as the certification report and spreadsheet provide the Owner and seller with a valid estimate of the refit costs. I also divide the costs involved between the owners' and buyers' responsibilities.
It is always best that the Owner and broker carefully examine and correctly value the Amel before it is publicly listed for sale. It is usually better to correct most issues before the first showing. In most cases, the Owner, Broker, and Buyer should have a Certification of Condition available. The certification can save time and eliminate the need for negotiation for its own sake.
In the past 3 years, I have consulted with Buyers on nearly 70% of all Preowned Amels sold worldwide. I understand Amel Buyers better than anyone. The following are major Buyer objections when shopping for an Amel:
1. Uncertainty about what they want and what Amel offers
2. Unknown condition anxiety.
3. Difficulty understanding value.
Preowned Amel Certification establishes facts and certifies condition and value.
REFERRAL: I will refer my Purchase Consulting Clients to you. There is no fee or commission for this referral.
For Owners or Brokers, the process is simple:
- You take about 250-350 very specific photos and videos. I give you a list and examples of these. You will also answer some specific questions I give you about your Amel. Your answers to my questions will provide at least twice as much information as is typically used in a listing for sale. More information mitigates the Buyer's doubts and equates to greater value. You also share copies of previous surveys, invoices for major maintenance expenses, your registration, and your tax-paid status. Also, you may have some valuable additions on your Amel that you should submit, because sometimes this requires a 3rd-party explanation for the Buyer to recognize the value.
- I will analyze all the information you send and what I already have to create the Certified Preowned Amel report and supporting documents. The sum of the information will allow a complete and transparent assessment of your Amel, assigning her a Condition Category.
- I will update the original Summary after any corrections you make or have made.
- I also offer the Contingency of Sale - Amel Certification, Consultation, Survey, and Seatrial. This includes my Certification Review. All of this is done on a commission basis and contingent on the Sale of your Amel. This is ideal for Sellers and Buyers who do not have a broker involved.
