Short Version !!
Boat and Yacht Business since 1986. Moved to Florida in 1991. Took a Job in Jacksonville Fl with one of the largest Dealers selling New Boat Brands From Boston Whaler to Chaparral, Mako, Bass tracker, Ranger Bass and Offshore. I was Introduced To Boston Whaler in 1992 and was taken under there wing and invited to work major Boat Shows in Miami , Fort Lauderdale and Atlanta. A ton Of Brunswick training came from this with Whaler and Sea Ray, Over the Years. Even being on the Dealer Design Team for years for Whaler and Others. All of this is was for Product Knowledge ,Customer service including after the sale. Teaching People about Boating what and Why. Most of the training Disappeared in the early 2000;s and Hope it will come Back. Redmond Boats was Formed in the early 2000's after leaving Marina Max as a Store Manager .
I received my Florida Broker License in 2006 and Became a Employing Broker Soon after . I was the Parker and Tidewater dealer (New) up to 2018 were I began only brokerage full Time. I list and sell my Customers Vessels a little different then Most were the results on Both Sides seem to go very Well and I gain another customer during the process . Its a people business. Your Buyer and seller needs good help
I grew up in Louisiana where my love and expertise for boats and yachts began. Louisiana is a sportsman’s paradise and the average person has somewhere near four boats. As a child, all we really had to do was boat and fish. My first boat was a rubber raft and at five years old I would go and shoot snakes down in the bayou. I loved being on the water. The first boat deal I ever negotiated was around the 8th grade. It has been history ever since. I was on the way home from doing some work in West Virginia after a Disaster and I stopped to visit my uncle in Alabama. I ended up staying five years. During my time there I Interviewed for a Boat Rigging Job.
I was accepted but was Quickly Moved to the Front Office in Learning the Sales Side as well as the Service writer During these years (Late 1980's).I learned a lot on The Service Side as well as the New Boat Side. This was the Biggest sales in units in Retail Boating. Unfortunately the industry Crashed in 1989 With Interest Rates and Other issues. I ended up in Florida in 1991 and was able to connect with a gentleman who got me set up with my first job dealing boats. In the early 2000s, because of past relationships and connections within the boating community, people began to seek me out to help them buy or sell their boats. My business grew from 100% referrals. For me, it’s all about putting a face to a boat and a boat to an experience. I enjoy meeting people one on one and helping them find the boat of their dreams.
