Acquisition Sourcing, Site Evaluation & Consulting Atlantic Marine Management is your perfect acquisition partner and consultant. We specialize in sourcing and evaluation of marine related properties... and our reputation and future rely's on their successful development and operation. For us, it's not a transaction and potential commission, as it would be for a typical Real Estate Broker... it's an opportunity for us to develop what we hope will be a life long relationship with a new industry partner. We rely as much on a new owner making sound business decisions as he does. A bad acquisition can place a new marina owner at serious risk and create financial pressure that is extremely difficult to recover from. When a marina is lost, everyone loses and its repercussions are felt by owners, clients, creditors, vendors, neighbors, the community and the industry at large. We believe this is the single most important industry service we can provide. We are most interested in the opportunity to build long term relationships and grow our company through the many services we can provide water dependent business owners. It is in our best interest to make sure a property is ideally suited to the objectives and marketing plan of the new owner, especially, if there's a chance we may be providing additional services in the future. The average real estate broker ultimately, has only one goal....and that is to close the sale. That's not to say that they do not have your best interest at heart - but unless they are being paid to consult for you - no fees can be earned until a sale is closed. As you may already be aware, many agents and sellers have caught on to the dockominium conversion craze. Unfortunately, whether a property is actually suitable for |
conversion or not, in most cases, properties are being valued for conversion anyway. Potential earnings are being projected on the basis of a "slip sales" program and potential buyers are being given sales pro formas that have no basis in reality or specific market conditions. In most cases, they simply offer a potential buyer a "pie-in-the-sky" scenario of what value can "potentially" be obtained without any solid market data or true comparables. On the other hand, we can tell you with a great amount of accuracy and expe-rience, based on the characteristics of a property and business plan, what it will take to get your business operation off the ground; at what cost and how long it will be before you can expect to reach stabilization. If you plan on using a "dockominium conversion strategy" to reduce or eliminate debt, or use as an exit strategy ... it is not your average real estate agent that is going to be able to provide you with that type of solid information, insight or experience. •
Site Evaluations On the flip side, if you're thinking about SELLING your marina property, we can provide you with equal value by assisting you in the preperation and positioning of your property for sale. If you approach the sale from the target buyer's perspective, invest in packaging due diligence items and reducing or eliminating potential risks --it will result in a quicker and much more profitable transaction. Give yourself time to prepare for the sale of your property. This is when you need the property to shine. Nothing speaks better than an abundance of good records supporting a profitable well run marina. |
