Harsh words for brokers: Generalizations can be dangerous and misleading. I’m not trying to vouch for the industry as a whole. Every good
broker knows a few bad ones. The folks I
work with and do deals with are all good people with lots of return customers. Whether we are representing a seller, a buyer or both, we take our fiduciary duties seriously. That means refraining from favoring ones self over the clients best interest. Some of us, myself included, stay in the business because we like bringing people together, helping them find common ground. And many of us know what goes into satisfying
boat ownership, and try to guide customers there. Yes, corruption exists, but lots of times, its incompetence, laziness.
