Full-Service Brokerage
What Full-Service Means
You tell us about your boat. We do the rest.
We come to you for photography, handle all buyer inquiries, coordinate showings, manage the negotiation, draft the purchase agreement, coordinate lien payoff if needed, and complete the Ohio DNR title transfer. When it's done, you get a check.
No upfront fees. No listing retainer. Commission only when your boat sells.
Why It Works on Lake Erie
Lake Erie is a regional market with regional buyers. The person buying your 30-foot cruiser in Cleveland isn't shopping Boat Trader nationally — they're already active in the local boating community, watching what moves at Edgewater and Rocky River, and they respond to listings that are presented professionally and priced correctly for this specific market.
Getting that right requires knowing what comparable boats actually sold for on Lake Erie in the last 90 days — not what's currently listed, not what national guides suggest. We know this market because it's the only one we work.

Timeline
Most Lake Erie boats listed at market price sell within 30–90 days. Spring listings (February through April) move fastest — serious buyers are active before the season opens. We'll give you an honest assessment of where your boat sits and what to expect.
Who This Is For
Full-service brokerage is the right call if you want the transaction handled professionally and completely, you don't have time to manage buyer inquiries and showings yourself, or you've tried selling privately and it hasn't moved.
If you want to stay more hands-on and just need marketing reach, ask us about our listing-only option.
