Seriously about to lose my mind.
Remember this started when I inquired about the boat several times back in October with no reply from the broker.
Saw the boat in early Feb, deposit given mid February. Sea Trail March 17, owner goes on 2 week vacation starting March 18. Loses his phone while on vacation, no reply for 2+ weeks.
Send owner survey 3/29 with no reply for over a week.
Come to an agreement on price 4/6.
Sign and notarize all paperwork 4/8 including the loan. Told on 4/8 the need the abstract for the title (1-2 days) which takes a full 7 days.
Wire my balance of the money 4/11.
Loan should be funded 1-3 days after receipt of abstract of title.
4/19 bank wires balance to marina/broker and sends pay off check to owners bank.
4/21 744am owners bank receives pay off check
4/21, 4/22, 4/25 texts and calls to broker who is waiting to hear from the owner when his loan is paid off and the check has cleared. No changes, no check, owner and broker can't release the boat until ALL funds have cleared.
4/25 5pm broker sends text that the owner is pissed, check has not cleared, bank hasn't even received the pay off check. 5:11pm my bank sends confirmation of wire transfer to marina (4/19) and copy of tracking number of pay off check and receipt of check at 744am 4/21.
I am so pissed and frustrated. They won't release the boat till all funds have cleared, which I get but come on. This is absolutely crazy. I seriously thought I would have this boat in my slip by 3/28 at the latest.
So despite records of all funds being sent we are still at a stand still. And it's all up to the owner to call his bank to see when things clear. Guy could be calling once a day for all I know. If it were me, I'd be calling the bank every hour looking for funds to be received and the loan cleared. I've got no control over this, lazy POS broker has no control and now it's in the hands of the owner. Just awesome.
