We moved here as retirees from Minnesota to a different kind of boating. We needed a bigger boat! We had owned a Bayliner in the past and more recently a 19-ft. SeaRay and were looking for a quality boat for cruising the San Juan and Gulf Islands with confidence and comfort. My husband did a lot of research and we settled on the Meridian. Jon ended up selling us a Meridian 411. We met Jon at the Seattle boat show on the last day of the show. Jon was great to work with compared to some of the other brokers we had touched base with during the show–we quickly ended those contacts to work with Jon. He did rise above with his attentiveness, knowledge and enthusiasm. He works hard for you, there is absolutely no doubt about that. He gets back to you very promptly via email, phone call or text message to answer all of your questions and to guide you through the process of buying a boat. It is a bit different buying a boat in a new state and getting a boat from one marina to another and Jon made that process go smoothly. Additionally, he makes absolutely certain you are familiar with your boat and its operation and features. He is very friendly and easy to work with and has boat loads (just had to do that) of boat savvy. I would highly recommend him for your boat brokering needs. If you want someone who will be diligent and work hard for you, not just pay lip service, this is your #1 guy, My husband was also in sales his entire career and very good and successful at it and greatly admired the amount of effort Jon put into getting us a boat.
