Brokerage, from the first call to settlement.
For brokers and businesses selling second-hand stock. Sellers, buyers, listings, offers, agreements and settlement on one record, with dealer stock in the same product.
From appraisal to a live listing.
A seller's enquiry becomes the listing.
A seller enquiry moves from new to appraised. Take the listing puts the boat on the seller's contact and starts a draft listing, and the signed authority to sell closes the enquiry as won.
- Brochures and your own website feed from the listing
- Portal publications tracked on the listing
- A listing checklist that can hold publication until it is done
Know what each buyer wants, and show them what fits.
Requirements that outlive the enquiry.
What a buyer is after belongs to their contact, so it stays when an enquiry is lost. Matches shows the listings that fit, and the sales rep hears in the app when a new one does.
Every viewing on the record.
Inspections, sea trials and viewings are appointments on the contact and the listing, with the outcome recorded. A sea trial cannot be marked done until the owner's disclaimer is signed.
Offer, conditions and settlement.
Offers and conditions
Offers and counter offers on the deal, conditions such as finance, survey and sea trial, then unconditional.
Deposits held in trust
Deposits and instalments flagged as held in trust, with the settlement statement and direction of payment drawn up from the deal.
Commission split
Listing, selling and house shares set once for the business, then fixed on each deal when commission is worked out.
Signed in order, by everyone who needs to.
Agreements are drawn up from the listing or the deal with their signers laid out: buyer, seller and deposit holder, each signing in turn, with a witness where one is needed.
The second-hand dealer register fills itself in.
A live brokerage listing, a trade-in or used stock makes its own register entry, and the sale completes it.
Frequently asked questions.
Can we use our own agreements?
Yes. Each business loads its own agreements as templates, filled from the record. No standard agreement text is supplied.
Does it publish to BoatSales automatically?
Not yet. Today a portal listing is recorded on the listing by hand. An automatic link to BoatSales is planned, subject to carsales partner approval.
Can a seller send their boat in themselves?
Yes. The seller form takes the boat's details and photos. Photos are checked by the office before they are attached, and the enquiry becomes a brokerage seller in the pipeline.
What about joint buyers or several owners?
They are one client with named parties, and each signatory signs in turn.
Do we have to take dealer stock too?
No. Every Marine Forge Sales business has dealer and brokerage, with no editions. Use the parts you need.
