“Jim Ross has now sold two catamarans for our family. He is efficient, informative, and knows his market. His connections along with his forthright manner and honesty make him an easy choice whether you are looking to buy or sell.

Jim always represented our interests in a respectful and professional way, and we have no hesitation in recommending him as one’s broker of choice.”

“We had an amazing experience with Jim Ross as our selling broker. Jim’s promptness, professionalism, and knowledge of the catamaran market set him apart from other brokers we interviewed.

In this hot market, you have to trust that your broker will devote their full attention to your listing and Jim did just that. He was very quick to give us detailed pricing information and was not afraid to help us price our boat aggressively. We went under contract in just a couple of weeks for the full listing price and closed the transaction just a few short weeks later.

Jim took the coordination of all the survey and closing matters off our plate and got this deal to the finish line. What’s more, Jim has the marketing reach with Just Catamarans that other brokers do not have. This sale could not have gone smoother and we can’t recommend Jim strongly enough.”

“I can not recommend Jim Ross enough as a broker. We had to leave our catamaran in Florida while we were out of state for the sale process.

In addition to the normal expectations of a broker, Jim kept tabs on our boat, acted as liaison so we could arrange cleaning and maintenance, and even monitored our boat during an out of season storm.

During the sale process, Jim made sure everything went smoothly and stress free.

We will definitely be use him for our next catamaran purchase.”

“We just sold our boat with Just Cats and Jim Ross was our broker.

Jim did an excellent job navigating the details and handling the details of survey and double-checked everything.

We were very pleased that Jim made a somewhat awkward time much more pleasant. He was on top of all details which is not easy and he was very nice to work with.

We had other options but we have had interactions with Just Cats and I knew you guys would make this process smooth and you did.”

“We are extremely pleased with Jim and Just Catamarans. Jim was able to price our boat competitively within the market which allowed us to receive a competitive offer within just a few days. Jim was attentive and easy to work with. It felt like he had the transaction under control at all times. We would recommend Jim and Just Catamarans to anyone looking to sell their boat quickly and stress-free. “

“I was pleased with the outcome that Jim negotiated with the buyers after receiving a survey that had a lengthy list of issues. In addition, Jim arranged a slip, boat cleaner, and a gallery of photos when I arrived in Ft Lauderdale in order to best present the boat.”

I just wanted to take some time to let you know how much we appreciate all you did for us in helping to make the boat buying process easier. As you know, we had made previous attempts with competitors with disastrous results. I am happy to say that you proved to us that not all brokers are created equal.

From the initial email to the day we left the dock with our boat, you were there acting as our personal server… answering many questions, being always available by phone, and even helping with the return of the rental auto… Thanks also for checking on us after the sale. You were up front with us from the beginning about the condition of the boat and your honesty made us feel at ease.

You proved to be an invaluable asset to us and we just want to be sure you know how much we appreciate all you did.

I would like to let you know the amazing experience I had hiring Jim Ross as my listing broker. I initially called Jim to help me with the sale of my 2012 Lagoon 450 due to the number of listings and contacts Jim and Just Catamarans reaches in the industry.  When I first spoke with Jim, I told him I needed to sell it quickly after being on the market with another brokerage and having no luck finding a buyer. I hired Jim and he searched the past sales and told me what we should list the boat at for a quick but fair price.

I think it was 3 days after I signed the listing contract we had a full price offer.
  
Not only did Jim work hard to get the deal done but he helped the buyer close on my catamaran in record time, less than thirty days to be exact. I think the whole process took 27 days. Certainly one of the fastest closings any of us have seen from listing her to the new owner taking delivery. 
 
When I buy my next catamaran, I’ll be sure to call on Jim. Big thanks Jim Ross for making the sale happen in record time.

I must say “WOW” and “THANK YOU” for all your help selling our Catamaran. Your assistance impressed not only me but also all my boating friends who heard from me about your great work.

I really appreciated your accommodating my tight schedule, which included helping us find a dock, getting the boat serviced and detailed, as well as handling the dozens of little things that come up when selling a boat, especially from across the country. I will continue to highly recommend you and Just Catamarans to all my friends.

“I first met Jim Ross when my husband and I purchased a catamaran. Jim was the broker for the sellers. First impressions are everything and my first impression of Jim was that he sincerely wanted to make sure we, the buyers, were purchasing a boat that met all of our expectations and would safely get us to our destinations. So when my husband and I decided to sell that same catamaran Jim was the first person who came to mind. 

I put so much trust and faith in Jim that I hired him to be my broker to purchase a boat at the same time he was my broker to sell the catamaran.

I find Jim to be professional and a true get-it-done salesperson who’s very effective and direct. I would highly recommend Jim Ross to anyone.”

“If you are looking for trusted and knowledgeable support when purchasing a catamaran, seek out Jim Ross of Just Catamarans as your broker. From our first contact with Jim, he set us at ease, always had time for us, provided straightforward advice, communicated constantly, and went way beyond anything we expected. Jim was always well prepared and anticipated our needs throughout the entire process. Jim Ross is a key reason for Just Catamarans well earned reputation for superior sales and service.

We always felt that Jim was looking out for our best interests, and he has continued his excellent support and guidance even after the purchase. Besides being everything we needed of a broker during our catamaran purchase, what we really think you should know is that Jim is a genuinely nice, authentic guy that turns what could easily be a somewhat scary, anxiety-filled process into a relaxing and fun adventure.

Thank you, Jim, for the personal service and dedication to our success and well-being. We appreciate how you treated us as friends and a member of the Just Catamarans family.”

We asked Jim Ross of Just Catamarans to be our selling broker. We lived aboard our Lagoon 420 for several years. She was our home and we had so many wonderful memories of extraordinary places and sails with her. It was not just selling a boat, but so much more. Jim understood that it was a challenging time to sell. He was thoughtful in the whole process.

From day one, he was superb in managing all aspects of the sale. He went the extra mile on numerous occasions with prepping the boat for the selling process, following through with troubleshooting and being alert to the care of our boat after we departed. He worked hard!

He was strong in communication and follow-through. Honestly, it was an emotional decision to sell, but the selling process was handled competently and efficiently with Jim. He is a solid and trustworthy individual to work with.

We had the pleasure of working with Just Catamarans and Jim Ross on the sale of our Fountaine Pajot 44 Orana Remedy. We met Jim and the Just Catamarans team at the Miami Boat Show and we were very impressed with the positive energy and their knowledge of the sailing catamaran market.

We also had to opportunity to follow them and see the team in action on the YouTube video bloggers “Gone with the Wynns”. Jim represented us and Just Catamarans very well. We decided to list the boat on a Sunday afternoon and Jim answered our phone call that day, we had the boat listed on Monday and an acceptable offer on Thursday. Final acceptance after the survey was three weeks later.

Jim helped make things easy and helped keep the stress levels low. I am very pleased to recommend Jim for his professionalism and responsiveness. Jim always endeavored to do the best job possible.

Jim Ross was a huge part in helping my wife and I fulfill a lifelong dream. With great diligence and patience, Jim helped us find the right boat for our family.

He made sure every detail was in order through closing and then was very helpful during our ownership any time we had questions. Then he listed and sold our boat for us after our trip was over. Jim Ross is a hard worker and I would absolutely recommend his services.

After interviewing several Yacht Brokers my wife and I selected Jim and Just Catamarans to sell our boat ‘Anything Goes’ a 42-foot Manta Catamaran and we were very satisfied with the service he provided in March 2018.

First, he put us in contact with a company that arranged for our boat to be docked behind a home in Fort Lauderdale at substantial savings compared to local marinas. Then he picked us up and brought us to the car rental company about 30 minutes away. Immediately upon signing the brokerage agreement, he had our boat listed on ‘Yacht World’. Whenever we had any request or question, he was responsive and helpful. Within 3 weeks he had a buyer from another brokerage.

He personally showed AG to this buyer and negotiate a selling price. Then he accompanied the buyer and surveyor on a sea trial that lasted the entire day. Afterward, he negotiated a concession with the buyer and closed the deal. Even then he was not done.

He made sure the closing process went smoothly and quickly. It’s because of this personal service that we would recommend Jim to any individual selling their boat.

Jim Ross brokered the purchase of a previously owned Lagoon 450S for us and we are very pleased at the value Jim provided to the process. Our purchase was exceptionally challenging since we were novices at boat purchases, and our purchase was of a non-US registered yacht.

Jim compiled and managed a team who understood the complexities of the required international negotiations, the financial complexities of a non-USD purchase and navigating through the necessary paperwork.

Very notable was Jim’s responsiveness and attention during the 4 months, from initial offer to closure. During the entire process Jim’s communication to us was constant; informing us of key milestones in the process, ensuring we were aware of actions requiring our attention, and providing advice on how to proceed when we had questions. Jim’s responses to our emails and texts were almost immediate – notable since we were located two time zones away! Jim’s attention to our concerns certainly made the process easier.

Since our purchase, Jim has provided great support. After closure, and as we transitioned to our on-board lifestyle, from two time zones away, Jim continued to be engaged. As our yacht was docked, and we were out of the area, Jim checked in on our new home, and even provided improved mooring protections to ensure our home was secure. Well beyond our expectations and very much appreciated. Jim certainly treated us like one of the family, as opposed to just another customer.

We wholeheartedly recommend Jim’s services in the purchase of a yacht.

My husband and I would highly recommend working with Jim Ross if you are looking to purchase a catamaran.  He is highly knowledgeable and proved to be a great choice to have as our broker.  From our initial contact to beyond the final closing,

Jim was prompt to answer any questions we had and kept us up to date on exactly what was happening in the purchasing process. 

He helped us navigate the survey process and even came along for the survey to make sure everything went as planned.  Without his help, I know there is no way that we could have closed on the boat in just 35 days.  Jim will go above and beyond to make your boat purchase the best experience you can have.

We had a great experience with Jim Ross. Truly gifted communicator and networker. Boat sold inside the time we expected and Jim was on our team the whole way.

After contacting numerous brokers with no response, I came upon Jim Ross at Just Catamarans. He was friendly, professional and gave us the time of day.

We couldn’t buy our boat yet because we were waiting for our business to sell. He kept in contact with us. Upon selling our business we called Jim and said that I wanted to come to Ft. Lauderdale to look at a boat we were interested in. We were ready. Not only did he show me the boat we were interested in, but several others. He explained things to me and was very patient. We have never owned a boat so he had his work cut out for him. After many discussions with my husband, we were going to keep looking.

Jim kept in contact and sent us anything new on the market. After hurricane Irma, there just wasn’t that much out there that we liked. I sent him several emails asking questions about costs, etc. He was always quick to respond.

At the beginning of May, an Ocean Cat 49 had just been listed. This was the one. We called Jim and asked him to put in an offer. He did it immediately. They countered, we countered and we had our boat in one day.

Now I was terrified. What do we do now? He walked us through everything. He gave us names of a few surveyors. He met us in 10 days for the survey in Annapolis, MD. He gave us contact information for several people in the area and if he didn’t know he found out for us. He had the Documentation people contact us to get the ball rolling. We closed in about a month. Jim is a great guy. He still calls or texts to make sure everything is going well. We would definitely recommend Jim Ross if you want excellent service when purchasing your boat.
