This praise is for Arin Jeffers - a truly amazing broker and a wonderful human being!…read more I just bought an AMAZING Tayana 37 Pilothouse, "Bella Brisa", that was listed at Atomic Tuna yachts! She is in amazing condition - the credit for this goes to the previous owner Mr. Warner - he is another amazing individual! But THIS write-up is about Arin... From the very beginning, Arin has been nothing but STELLAR! When the yacht I wanted to look at was already sold, he recognized my desires immediately and encouraged me to look at Bella. As I said, she turned out to be the nicest boat of her age I have EVER seen (and I've seen a LOT of them). As I could tell from the listing that she would be something unique, I asked Arin for the earliest date possible to see her - August 9th (2025). When that day came, Arin moved items around in his schedule to accommodate me, and met me at the pier exactly as he had promised. He recognized that I was someone who needed time alone to look things over and he gave me time, and carte blanche to look deeply into Bella's pockets. I spent the better part of two hours, and Arin didn't blink or flinch once. He knew I had fallen in love. And I truly had - at 37 years old, Bella didn't have a mark on her and was equipped better than any boat I had owned before. I told him, even before the survey, that I wanted her, but he already knew, and had already contacted a highly sought-after surveyor - Andy Schwenk - to give him the heads up. He had known that she was something special when he took her into the brokerage. Arin made ALL of the arrangements for the survey: contracted the yard, contracted the surveyor, arranged for the owner to be there to answer any questions. The survey was completed 9 days later. I was present for the in-water portion, including the sea-trial. Unfortunately, I couldn't be present for the hauled portion of the survey - it had to be rescheduled because of a travel-lift failure on the original date of survey. So, Arin took charge and made videos for me of the haul-out and survey, so I could see how it was performed. As expected, the survey came back SPOTLESS - literally. There wasn't a single defect in her hull ANYWHERE! And her topsides looked just as good! In fact, it was the cleanest survey I've ever seen - including those of boats that were much younger. NOTE: My diver (David Laird) confirmed all those results two months later - told me he loves diving this boat because it's always SO clean. Knowing that would be the result of the survey, Arin had already been working on getting the title company going, and advising me of all the things I must do to complete the sale. By October 31st, I was the proud owner of Bella! Arin had already arranged a slip for me at the brokerage. He even helped the previous owner move Bella into that slip when she had to be moved out of the previous owner's marina, and I couldn't be there. A BIG thank you goes our to Mr. Warner and Arin for that one! November 7th, ONE month after I had first seen her, My friend Scott and I sailed Bella to Westpoint Harbor, where she now sits in her new home! I CAN'T say enough good about Arin Jeffers! He is truly amazing - selfless, professional, knowledgeable, ethical, kind, and patient - all the things a truly wonderful broker should be! Bravo! I will continue to maintain contact with Arin - I'm sure we will know each other for a long time to come! My name is William.

Maybe that's the reason why I couldn't get our agent to call us back. Even when she would text that she would return our calls we still couldn't get a call back. It's sad because she offered us a lot of benefits with her sales package. Oh well, off to another broker. It's too bad because it's an excellent Express Cruiser.

So i paid my deposit and stared waiting. After a month and a few days after the date i was told it would be ready i called and was told it was told then that it wasn't ready yet and it was going to be another month. I reluctantly kept my order because i didnt want to start this whole process with someone else at this point (even though kokopelie said they would have a trailer ready and delivered to my house in 4 weeks). After the next month passed called and they said it was going to be 2 more weeks. Disappointed again i kept waiting. After about 10 days they called and said its here. So the next day i drove from davis to richmond (3 hours) only to be show a trailer with only 1 axel. Idk how someone else didnt notice this before me but i cost me a tank of gas and 6 hours of driving. Then after another week of not having any idea whats going on they finally tell me that there is a trailer in Washington and that there is a truck going up there as we speak to pick it up and that it will be here next monday and i can pick it up tuesday. Im writing this on that tuesday right now. I just talked to them and they are now telling me that the manufacturer is making it right now and it will be here early next week. Idk if i even believe it. Ive missed 3 months of this el niño fishing so far waiting for this.
