So you have an agreement for your catamaran! But maybe you are uncertain how to handle contract, escrow, and closing. You have gotten this far yourself. Get a broker involved now? Hell no. Since 2009, CatamaranSite has delivered superb marketing at a tremendous price. We are a trusted partner. And we offer a continuum of service all the way to one of the happiest days of your life – the closing date.
It seems simple to do purchase and sale paperwork and use any old escrow service. But are you ready for all the complexities of closing? Here are some things you may not know about.
- Government customs agencies can take away your catamaran if you have not complied with all customs rules. Or at least put you at risk of significant unexpected costs.
- Tax rules vary from country to state to even county level. Not complying with tax rules can expose you to significant costs and legal liabilities. Also using our service can allow you to obtain tax exemptions and save you money. Our service may end up being essentially free via these savings.
- Certain that there are no liens? Many sellers and buyers find unexpected liens due to historical bank filing errors that induce tremendous anxiety in the transaction and can even blow up your sale for no good reason. Our experts can help you prove a catamaran is free and clear smoothing over any final anxieties of the sale.
- Ownership paperwork can involve unexpected foreign registration or business entity fees. We can help you foresee and set expectations about those costs before they become a friction point.
