“My husband and I recently purchased a
Lagoon 421, with Cynthia Wummer as Broker and we have a very long list of
accolades for her. Instead, I’ll give you a Top Ten!
1. She intuits what really matters to the client. We felt
100% comfortable that Cynthia could evaluate all potentials — knowing
that she “gets us.” Which is the main ingredient in client trust.
2. She hones the decision process. Early on, she sensed we were struggling
with size. She economized our travel time with a day of boat visits to
“try on” a range of 39 to 48 footers, so we could isolate boat size as a
defining criteria going forward.
3. She has buckets of initiative. She was ever quick to scout the back
story on a boat, travel to make an inspection, send video, arrange virtual
tours … and kept us current at all times.
4. She has even more buckets of knowledge. We relied on her first-hand
experience to guide our live-aboard decisions (power and electrical,
engine, boat handling, watermaker, gear, etc.) Plus, she shares her
seemingly endless contacts of marine experts and contractors.
5. She’s responsive … answering emails, texts, phone calls —
pronto. Grass does not grow under those tanned feet.
6. She advances the ball. She took an inquiry to verbal agreement to paper
with just the right pressure on the pedal. And, even tho that sale didn’t
go thru … (read on).
7. She is a contingency planner. Behind the scenes, Cynthia stayed in
contact for months with a sell-by-owner that initially refused to budge;
but ultimately became ready to deal.
8. She keeps all parties at the table. She instinctively kept the “we’re not
budging” seller comfortable and communicating.
9. Cynthia can reverse-engineer to keep a deal alive. Our sellers had a
sticking point about the VAT and sale price– and Cynthia kept
negotiating until they were satisfied — ultimately to our benefit.
10. She is compassionate and giving… such as hosting us in her home, letting us store
shipments in her garage, and checking on us during the corona virus crazy. Not as
a sales person, but as someone who cares about clients as people. Cynthia is
an awesome human who has your back.
When we’re ready for our next boat (like all sailors, eventually), we know she’ll have
our back again!”
My wife and I worked with Andrew Hodgdon to sell our 2021 FP Elba 45. In addition to skillfully carrying out the traditional yacht broker responsibilities, Andrew went above-and-beyond to ensure that we were well-positioned to sell in a competitive market. For example, Andrew helped out with much-appreciated repairs and hurricane prep, among other things. Trustworthy, intelligent, and conscientious, Andrew’s communications with us and the buyer were always thoughtful and forward-thinking, and fairly represented our interests.
We really lucked out in connecting with The Multihull Company. We made a cold call to Cynthia Wummer, a Multihull Company broker and told her we wanted to buy a catamaran to cruise The Great Loop and experience the Bahamas. We particularly wanted a PDQ power catamaran. From our first contact she was so helpful and responsive. She immediately contacted a selling broker who represented a prospective seller. Because we are new to a bigger boat and boating on the ICW, Cynthia assisted us through the entire process. She is a captain which was an added bonus to the process; she knew all the right questions to ask the selling broker as well as the surveyor. She drove 3 hours to be present during the survey, she developed a good relationship with the selling broker, she called and checked in with us regularly, was very enthusiastic about our purchase, and answered all our questions. We could not have done it without her. The Multlihull Company support team, Andrew Holland and Courtney Greider, were so helpful in the closing process: the paperwork was easy to complete and communication was smooth and timely. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Multihull Company and Cynthia to anyone who is the market for a boat large or small. Thank you!!!!
Multihull Company has succeeded again. This is my second time using their services and they are extremely professional and honest. Working with their brokers and their administrative team was easy. Communication occurred at every level and constructive advise was always given. They know this business inside and out and acted as my fiduciary in every way. I will use them again for their service and knowledge.
Great to deal with and very patient in our questions. They were able to find us the perfect vessel for our needs.
Successful relationships cannot exist without it. At The Multihull Company we base every relationship on a firm commitment to earning and retaining our client’s trust.
Advice of any kind is valuable only when grounded in hard-won expertise. It too, must be trustworthy. Trust and expertise define the heart and soul of The Multihull Company. We are a team of skilled professionals who thrive on providing expert, trustworthy advice and service to catamaran and trimaran sailors around the globe.
