MY RECENT BOAT PURCHASEHello, and to whom it may concern. I recently purchased a 29 ft. Donzi with the help of Pop Yachts. The process began a little hindered, because I made several calls to Pop Yachts and got little response or was told I'll call you back and it did not happen. Finally, I got Greg Stanton to start to help, but he turned out to be to busy and passed me along to a manager named Lawrence,(sorry I don't recall his last name as I was only dealing with him a short time). Lawrence helped me as best he could and then put me in touch with Capt. Jason, the sales rep in the area the boat was located. Thanks Lawrence, that was the right call. Capt. Jason was on it from that point. He was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. He got the answers the my questions, obtained the receipts to verify that things stated in the ad for vessel were true, and even met with me on a Sat. (I'm sure not what he had planned for his weekend), to view and test the boat. Due to certain circumstances it was a rush deal. He made the on site portion of the sale a smooth experience. Now, for our BRIGHTEST STAR at Pop Yachts. Micki Baker, my closing coordinator, was fantastic. A real pro, she knows and does her job to the last detail. The first sale fell thru, ( a whole other story I won't go into, other than the seller acted like a real ass, (pardon the language), and I walked away from the deal after spending $500.00 on a survey), no real fault of Pop Yachts. But guys, (Pop Yachts) you may want to screen your sellers a bit more stringently, and definitely verify that the info posted on the ad is true, ($500.00 is still $500.00 ya know). But I digress. Miss Micki handled the details from the first sale debacle, and got funds switched to the second without a hitch, and in an extremely short time frame. The seller was leaving town for an extended period, and the deal was guaranteed to fall thru if not for her expertise, diligence and quick action. And, on top of everything else, she did so when she was scheduled for a vacation, (much deserved I am certain), the next day. Nothing against the other closers in the co., but I doubt anyone else could have pulled it off, and done it so smoothly. Especially seeing as she had me to deal with. My computer skills are marginal at best, just an old dinosaur, right Micki. She walked me through the whole process with care and understanding like you would lead a child with a pocket full of change through a candy store. She let me know exactly what was needed, what I had to do, and bring to the table. And, handled searching and acquiring the title and other paperwork, and transferring the funds like it was a Sun. stroll. I could fill 10 pages praising this girl, and still not due her justice. You better keep a tight grip on this woman Pop Yachts, cause if I thought I could steal her away for my company, there would be a moving truck at her door yesterday. In conclusion, my overall experience with Pop Yachts was very good. But Capt. Jason and Micki Baker made it exceptional! I would definitely use them again. Thanks for reading, Mike Szoke
