Navigating Efficiency: The Benefits of Remote Online Notary
for Yacht Brokers
By: Jeffrey Jadul, CPYB, YBAA Board Member
|
We’ve all been there…inching towards closing day, and the client says, ‘I’m traveling, and I can’t get the closing documents notarized for a few days.’ In our world of yacht brokerage, efficiency, accuracy, and seamless transactions are paramount. The incorporation of a remote online notary has revolutionized the landscape for yacht brokers, offering a myriad of benefits that streamline processes, enhance client experiences, and elevate the overall efficiency of transactions.
“Working as a remote online notary, I find that teaming up with yacht brokers is a fantastic experience. They have the needed expertise on what documents are needed, which smooths out the whole process, leaving our clients happy and everything shipshape!” …. says Katie Tremulis, owner of Notary SWFL, a remote online notary who has recently seen her business expand into the yacht brokerage space.

Sales Tips
Sales is a Contact Sport
A few days ago, I was watching an Ed Mylett interview featuring Ryan Serhant, a highly successful real estate agent in New York City. According to Ryan, a key factor in his success is reaching out to 15 new people daily. This resonated with a conversation I had two months ago with Rick Fingerman, a local financial planner, who shared a similar strategy. He recounted the story of a very successful insurance agent who attributed his success to talking to three new people seven days a week about what he did for a living. He said it didn't matter if they were at the supermarket or he met them at church, the key was to talk to three new people a day.
During my three-plus decades in the sales industry, I’ve observed many examples of the importance of what Ryan and Rick emphasized.
