This webinar will outline the role and duties of the yacht broker and the surveyor. We will review the broker’s expectations of the surveyor and vice versa. At the end of the webinar, we will create a check list of responsibilities that can be a helpful tool in the future. If both Broker and Surveyor have satisfied expectations, it should mean you have a satisfied customer.
