Dear Mr. Laughlin,

I thought I’d take a moment to let you know how satisfied we were with St. Bart’s Yachts and, in particular with Andy Roberts. We had owned a Catalina 320 for about 13 years and decided to sell. Having no experience in selling a sailboat we, on the recommendation of several friends and knowledgeable local people, enlisted the help of Andy Roberts to act as our broker. The process couldn’t have been easier for us. Andy responded to our inquiry within an hour, met with us at our convenience, fully explained the process he followed, and gave us an honest appraisal of his sense of the value of the property when we asked for help in setting a fair price. Although we were 3 hours away from the boat, we do know from those at the marina just how many prospective buyers he met with to show the boat. And he was diligent in keeping us informed about how things were progressing, When an offer was made and accepted (within weeks-not the months we expected) he walked us through the necessary paperwork which we would have had a hard time negotiating ourselves. We do know that the buyer was also impressed with Andy’s knowledge of boats and the industry having met him to tour the boat. To say we were completely satisfied would be an understatement. We will now be in the group that will recommend Andy and St. Barts in the future.
Sincerely,

— Jim and Babs Brown, Durham, NC
