Florida's Attorney General is investigating at least 160 cases of price gouging as the state reels from two hurricanes.

Ashley Moody's rapid response team has received hundreds of complaints of overcharging as some companies allegedly try to cash in on people's desperation, and the team is visiting people to gather information, Florida's WFLA TV station reported.

It said the top three counties that reported price hikes after hurricane Helene are Hillsborough, Pasco, and Pinellas, three adjoining counties in southwest Florida. Saint Petersburg is in Pinellas and Tampa is in Hillsborough.

Anna Maria Fiallos, investigator with Pinellas County consumer protection, told the station: "There's a lot of devastation and unfortunately in any situation, even in a disaster, there's bad actors that will take advantage of it. That's why we rely on our residents of Pinellas County to be alert and let us know, so we can go out and do what we can to protect them."

Newsweek has contacted Florida's Attorney General's office for comment.

At a Wednesday briefing with President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris warned that the federal government would intervene to stop companies exploiting hurricane victims.

"To any company that—or individual that might use this crisis to exploit people who are desperate for help through illegal fraud or price gouging—whether it be at the gas pump, the airport, or the hotel counter—know that we are monitoring these behaviors and the situation on the ground very closely and anyone taking advantage of consumers will be held accountable," she said.

Hurricane Milton made landfall late on Wednesday and killed over a dozen people. Nearly two million Floridians were still without power on Friday. Helene killed an estimated 230 people in late September.

United Airlines strongly denied it had jacked up prices as people hurried to flee Hurricane Milton and said a viral online photograph of its fares was inaccurate.

"United capped Florida fares on Sunday," it told Forbes via email. "Since then, the average price for a one way, economy class ticket to our hubs from affected Florida markets was below $500."

It also said it added 18 extra Florida flights.

Alan Rubin, cohead of the Severe Weather Emergency Recovery Team at the Blank Rome law firm told Newsweek that companies cannot suddenly increase prices for roof repair or debris removal after a hurricane.

"There is a standard rate for most of the services that need to be rendered, for example, debris removal, roof repair, and other standard cleanup services that are provided by either private or state contractors," he said.

"Price gouging is a particularly egregious activity that state and local municipalities view as being unacceptable and will be treated as such," he said.

Blank Rome, which has over 600 attorneys in offices throughout the U.S, has had a severe weather team in place for several decades.

Rubin said attorneys general in every state where there is a natural disaster "immediately issue a statement that indicates any price gouging or any attempt to charge more than the going rates prior to the storm will be considered an attempt to price gouge, and that is illegal in any of the states that have been affected by Hurricane Helene or Hurricane Milton."

"Additionally, prior to impending natural disasters, all gubernatorial offices must ensure that no services being rendered are considered over the normal rates," he added.

Harvard University is officially 2023’s worst school for free speech.

The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) released its annual college free speech rankings on Wednesday, which dubbed the state of free speech at the Ivy League school “abysmal.”

“I’m not totally surprised,” Sean Stevens, director of polling and analytics at FIRE, told The Post. “We’ve done these rankings for years now, and Harvard is consistently near the bottom.”

Despite being the most acclaimed academic institution in the country, Harvard received a 0.00-point free speech ranking on a 100-point scale — a full 11 points behind the next-worst school.

FIRE says the dismal score was “generous,” considering Harvard’s actual score was a -10.69, according to its

Harvard’s score was dragged down by the fact that nine professors and researchers there faced calls to be punished or fired based on what they had said or written — and seven of the nine were actually professionally disciplined.

“I thought it would be pretty much impossible for a school to fall below zero, but they’ve had so many scholar sanctions,” Stevens said.

The score is calculated based on factors including how strong the school’s policies in favor of free speech are and how many professors, students and campus speakers have been targeted by authorities for their speech.

Bonuses are applied if the school’s administrators stand up for the rights of those whose free speech was threatened.

The rankings also take into account student sentiment about free speech based on polling FIRE conducted in partnership with research firm College Pulse.

Harvard’s lowest rank comes despite the fact that more than 100 of its professors banded together earlier this year to form a Council on Academic Freedom to defend open inquiry on campus.

“We are in a crisis time right now,” Janet Halley, a Harvard Law School professor and member of the council, told The Post in April. “Many, many people are being threatened with — and actually put through — disciplinary processes for their exercise of free speech and academic freedom.”

Second-worst on the list was the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, followed by the University of South Carolina in Columbia, Georgetown University in DC, and Fordham University in the Bronx and Manhattan.

Although Columbia University took the prize of worst school for free speech last year, it ranked 214th out of 248 this time around.

The number one school for free speech was Michigan Technological University in Houghton, Michigan. The school earned 78.01 out of 100 possible points. 

“I’m not necessarily surprised that a technological school has a better speech climate, primarily for the reason that they don’t really talk as much about controversial topics,” Stevens said. “They’re there to make things work as engineers.”

Auburn University, the University of New Hampshire, Oregon State University and Florida State University rounded out the top five.

FIRE’s survey of 55,000 current students from 254 universities also yielded some staggering results.

Fifty-six percent of students worry about getting canceled for something they said, and 27% said it’s acceptable to use violence to stop campus speech in some circumstances.

As FIRE continues to be inundated with allegations of free speech violations, Stevens says the erosion of campus discourse should concern everyone.

“I’d say the state of free speech on campus is stagnant at best, and possibly a little worse than last year.”

Palm Beach Island Takes Over as the Top Ultra-High-Net -Worth Property Market in the United States!

“Palm Beach is a niche market that consistently has the highest concentrations of appropriate properties and lifestyle for ultra-high-net-worth individuals,” says Eric Gunther President of Greenfield Waters Florida Realty on Worth Avenue Palm Beach.

Ultra-high-net-worth “UHNW”, is a level of ultra-luxury residential properties that trade for $50,000,000 or more. The market for these eight and nine-figure estates has significantly increased in the past ten years. 

New York, the Hamptons, Malibu, Los Angeles, Aspen, and Miami have all seen a sudden and profound transformation in the value of the most coveted properties. But nowhere in the U.S. compares to the small Island of Palm Beach which currently has 13 properties listed for sale asking over $50,000,000. This 16 mile long barrier island is a fraction of the size of its UHNW market peers, making the concentration of luxury real estate sales staggering over the comparatively small area. 

Over the last year of 2023, Florida’s two most expensive home sold on Palm Beach Island.  $170,000,000 was in first place at 589 North County Road Palm Beach, FL 33480 and $155,000,000 in second place at 1495 North Ocean Boulevard Palm Beach 33480 combined into a compound with 108 Mediterranean Road Palm Beach, FL 33480.

As the balance in middle market property prices and interest rates struggle to find common ground across the general U.S., solid activity in the Florida market and in the UHNW market of Palm Beach is understandable for emotional reasons but also backed by qualitative data. 

Buyers of properties in excess of several million dollars aren’t as affected by volatility in interest rates or the stock market like other buyers. Often paying in cash versus financing, these buyers see their real estate as tangible assets to be enjoyed but also bought, sold, and traded at the right times. 

Meanwhile, just across the Intracoastal waterway, select bordering neighborhoods of West Palm Beach are becoming “Palm Beach Island adjacent” with sales in excess of several million dollars being very normal.  Areas in West Palm such as Marina Park, El Cid, Howard Park, Phipps Park, and South of Southern (SOSO) are emerging in a very big way. As major financial firm and accompanying industries such as consulting, accounting, legal, and more keep moving to West Palm Beach, we expect these neighborhoods to continue growing in value and the beautification of Mediterranean revival and modern styled new construction homes. 

Palm Beach owners naturally enjoy the warm winters of our busiest season, when residents with multiple homes return for the climate. Many visitors come prepared to shop for real estate during this season making it ripe to sell for more. Spring and summer balance out the year as owners often list after enjoying a last winter season and demand to buy exits all year long in the Florida UHNW market. Typically, buyers even appreciate the downtime after buying so they can renovate and bring in the finest upgrades and décor of their personal choice which can take time after buying. 

This year more incredible properties are on the market and selling for more than anywhere else in the United States. Currently, the Island’s most expensive listing is 2.3 oceanfront vacant acres of land listed at $200,000,000 at 1063 and 1071 North Ocean Boulevard Palm Beach, FL 33480. They have 360 feet of width across the beachfront which is a rare luxury opportunity on The Island. These are owned by cosmetics heir William Lauder who listed the land on the market after buying the late Rush Limbaugh’s property. Both properties were torn down to achieve their amplified land value together. 

Traditionally, Palm Beach was perceived as a multigenerational closed circle. Today, this is no longer the case and sellers are aware of the vibrant new audience which needs to be reflected and focused on for marketing and advertising to sell a property of these price points in the economy of today. The Island does still maintain the exclusivity of high society, yet it's much more inclusive of people from a broader range of affluence, industries, and backgrounds which is very healthy.   

Here are five of our favorite finest properties on the market as of today on Palm Beach Island:

Private equity firms are increasingly profiting from cleaning up climate disasters in the US, while failing to better protect workers and often also investing in the fossil fuels that are causing the climate emergency, new research has found.

The demand for skilled disaster restoration or resilience workers, who are mostly immigrants and refugees from Latin America and Asia, is soaring as greenhouse gases released by burning fossil fuels heat the planet, provoking more destructive storms, floods and wildfires.

As the industry has become more profitable, at least 72 companies that specialize in disaster cleanups and restoration have been acquired by private equity firms since 2020, according to the research, by the Private Equity Stakeholder Project (PSEP) and Resilience Force, a labor rights organization with thousands of members.

Wage theft, lack of protective clothing, and other unsafe conditions are rampant across the industry at the expense of workers, communities and climate, according to the report, Private Equity Profits from Disasters, shared exclusively with the Guardian.

At risk are tens of thousands of resilience workers, traveling from disaster to disaster cleaning up and rebuilding American communities while facing hazards such as unstable buildings, ash and other toxins, and water-borne diseases.

Researchers found that an increasingly complex web of franchises, contractors and subcontractors, insurance providers, labor brokers and agencies and mostly temporary jobs makes it difficult for workers to know who is ultimately accountable for violations.

“Disasters have become more intense and destructive, and rebuilding has become more profitable. As the money started pouring in, companies started consolidating, and private equity started circling and buying up these companies,” said Saket Soni, director of Resilience Force. “Wage theft and health and safety violations are deeply endemic … and private equity is failing to establish higher standards.”

Osha, the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration, recorded 194 violations at private-equity owned restoration companies and their franchises between January 2015 and January 2022, the report found.

Most violations were classified as serious, and included failures to protect workers from asbestos, respiratory problems and falls. (The true number of health and safety violations is likely to be higher given the small number of Osha compliance officers).

It is impossible to say precisely what proportion of the disaster workforce is currently controlled by private equity, but acquisitions are gathering pace, with 14 in the first six months of this year compared to 13 during the entire course of 2020. Acquisitions included companies from 28 states, but most were in Florida and Texas – states hit by multiple billion-dollar climate disasters in recent years.

“This is the latest example of a disturbing trend where we see private equity coming into industries where there is a lot of money – and indeed a lot of federal investment – in order to pad their pockets by cutting costs,” said the Democratic congresswoman Pramila Jayapal. “This is already a dangerous industry … cutting costs will cut quality, and increase the threats to essential workers – who are already extremely vulnerable to greedy employers. Those who put up the money, in this case private equity, are ultimately responsible.”

Overall, the number and cost of weather and climate disasters in the US is rising due to a combination of population growth, development and the influence of human-caused global heating on extreme events like floods, drought and fires. Over the past seven years (2016 to 2022), 122 separate billion-dollar disasters have killed at least 5,000 people and cost more than $1tn in damage, according to data compiled by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa).

Historically, the disaster restoration industry was made up of smaller, independent businesses handling local projects. But after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, private equity firms saw an opportunity to consolidate the market by buying up smaller companies, and some estimates value the US restoration industry as high as $200bn. The Restoration Industry Association, whose board includes three private equity executives, did not respond to the Guardian.

Taxpayer dollars increasingly pay for restoration costs – involving public buildings like schools and hospitals, and for folks without insurance. Yet the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Fema, does not attach mandatory labor or health and safety standards to its payouts, while private equity firms have a track record in cost cutting to maximize profits.

Private equity refers to an opaque form of private financing in which funds and investors buy and restructure companies, including troubled businesses and real estate, using money from wealthy individuals and institutional investors such as university endowments and state employee pension funds.

In recent years, some private equity firms have become major greenhouse gas polluters, often acquiring risky oil, gas and coal projects with minimal public scrutiny or regulatory oversight – which means firefighters, nurses and teachers have little way of knowing if their retirement nest egg is financing police surveillance equipment, disaster companies or leaky pipelines.

Researchers found a third of the private equity companies with disaster restoration company investments are also backing fossil fuel-linked projects – ostensibly profiting from the cause and effect of the climate emergency.

The Blackstone Group, the world’s largest private equity firm, which manages over $1tn, backs 21 energy companies, of which 52% are fossil-fuel projects. In 2020, Blackstone’s power plants produced 18.1m metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere – equivalent to the annual emissions of nearly 4m gas-powered vehicles.

Blackstone’s institutional investors include Los Angeles, Maine, Arizona, North Carolina, Texas, New York state and Oregon public sector worker pensions.

In March 2019, Blackstone acquired a majority share in Servpro Industries, a damage restoration company with more than 2,000 independently owned and operated franchises across the US and Canada. Servpro franchises helped with restoration efforts after Hurricanes Harvey, Matthew and Sandy – some of the most devastating storms to hit the US mainland in recent years.

Higher temperatures and sea level rise caused by burning fossil fuels are making storms more intense and destructive.

In Massachusetts, a Servpro franchise in 2022 settled claims by the state that its restoration work at an elementary school led to asbestos contamination, forcing the school to close for months. In November 2019, a Servpro franchise in Boynton Beach, Florida, was forced to pay more $200,000 in back wages to almost 150 restoration workers after a department of labor investigation.

In another example the commercial restoration firm BlueSky, which operates in more than 40 states, is owned by two private equity companies including Partners Group, whose portfolio also includes gas pipeline companies in the US and Europe.

“Firms like Blackstone are using the public’s money to personally profit off both sides of disasters,” said Azani Creeks, PESP research coordinator and co-author of the report.

“Public employees have a right to know that their pension dollars are being used to purchase fossil-fuel plants that are contributing to climate disasters – and companies that profit off of these very disasters, most often off the backs of wage workers with little health and safety protections.”

A Blackstone spokesperson rejected the report’s findings as “cherry-picking”, and said that some of the cases related to matters prior to their investment – and that there was no evidence that the alleged shortcomings were related to private equity ownership.

“As a franchisor, Servpro Industries does not control or direct the operations of its independent local franchises, nor does it employ their workers … Since Blackstone’s investment, the company has expanded the training resources available to its franchisees – including worker safety related to Osha compliance and use of personal protective equipment, among other areas – and continually evaluates ways to further expand and enhance those efforts.”

Blackstone had invested more than $20bn in the energy transition, the spokesperson said: “Legacy exploration and production investments today total less than 1% of our overall fair market value portfolio.”

According to the 2022 state of the industry report, the biggest issues facing the disaster restoration industry is finding – and retaining – skilled workers, and increasing wages for certified employees.

Information about the disaster workforce is limited, but more than 100,000 people are estimated to work occasionally or full time in the industry, according to Resilience Force. Most workers are concentrated in southern states prone to natural disasters like Louisiana, Texas and Florida, but are often deployed thousands of miles away for weeks or months at a time. It is a male-dominated industry, but also includes thousands of women, with Honduras, El Salvador, Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil, India and the Philippines among some of the most common countries of origin.

While the work is predominantly done by immigrants who are often undocumented or have temporary residency status, the workforce also includes current and ex-incarcerated people and US-born people of color – also groups which have historically faced discrimination and poor working conditions.

In one case, migrant workers who helped rebuild luxury hotels destroyed by Hurricane Irma in Florida Keys in 2017, were forced to sue Cotton Commercial, acquired by the private equity firm Sun Capital in 2020, and a temp agency to recover more than $280,000 in back pay and damages.

A spokesperson for Cotton said: “All Cotton contracts include provisions on subcontractors’ responsibility for payment to their personnel in accordance with all applicable employment laws and regulations, as well as strict safety requirements.”

The need for climate resilience workers is likely to continue rising, and next month Jayapal will re-introduce the 2022 Climate Resilience Workforce Act which would help create a well-trained, fairly paid workforce to help the US prepare for the climate emergency – and ease the transition to a green economy.

Soni, the director of Resilience Force, said: “Disaster restoration is a public good, and we need a strong sustainable workforce as disasters increase. Many people deeply love the work and are dedicated … but the work gets more dangerous year after year, because there are no standards. We’re depleting the workforce when we ought to be building it.”

Top 5 Florida Roofing Law Changes in 2024: What Homeowners Must Know!

As we approach 2024, significant changes in Florida roofing laws are set to take effect. These changes could have a profound impact on homeowners, especially those dealing with property damage claims. Understanding these laws is crucial for protecting your investment and ensuring compliance. Here’s a clear and concise overview of the Florida roofing law changes 2024 that every homeowner should be aware of.

1. New Licensing Requirements for Roofers

One of the most significant changes in 2024 involves the licensing requirements for roofing contractors. The state of Florida is implementing stricter regulations to ensure that all roofers are properly licensed and insured. This change aims to reduce the number of unqualified contractors operating in the state, ultimately protecting homeowners from subpar workmanship.

What You Should Do: Verify that your roofing contractor holds a valid Florida license before hiring them for repairs or installations. This step is essential in safeguarding your property and ensuring you can file a property damage claim without complications.

2. Enhanced Consumer Protections

The 2024 law changes also introduce enhanced consumer protections for homeowners. These new regulations require contractors to provide a detailed written estimate before any work begins. This estimate must outline the scope of work, materials to be used, and a timeline for completion.

Why It Matters: With these consumer protections in place, homeowners will have a clearer understanding of what to expect and can hold contractors accountable if they do not meet their obligations. This transparency is especially beneficial when filing property damage claims, as it provides documented evidence of what was agreed upon.

3. Changes in Insurance Coverage Requirements

In 2024, Florida will also enforce new insurance coverage requirements for roofing contractors. All roofers must now carry general liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage. This change aims to protect homeowners from financial liability if an accident occurs during the roofing process.

Take Action: Always ask your contractor for proof of insurance before signing any agreements. This protection not only safeguards you during the roofing process but also ensures you have a stronger position when navigating property damage claims.

4. Stricter Regulations on Roofing Materials

The new Florida roofing laws will enforce stricter regulations on roofing materials. Only materials that meet specific durability and safety standards will be approved for use in new constructions and repairs. This change is particularly important in a state prone to severe weather events.

Implications for Homeowners: Using approved materials can help prevent future property damage, which means fewer claims and lower repair costs in the long run. Ensure your contractor uses compliant materials to maintain your roof’s integrity and withstand Florida’s unpredictable weather.

5. Increased Penalties for Non-Compliance

Finally, the 2024 law changes include increased penalties for contractors who fail to comply with these new regulations. This includes fines and potential loss of licensing for repeat offenders. The state is taking a firm stance to ensure that only qualified contractors operate within Florida.

What This Means for You: By hiring compliant contractors, homeowners can avoid delays and complications in their property damage claims. It’s crucial to choose a roofer who adheres to the new laws to ensure your repairs are covered and your home remains safe.

Conclusion

The Florida roofing law changes in 2024 bring significant updates that every homeowner should be aware of. From new licensing requirements to enhanced consumer protections and stricter regulations on materials, these changes are designed to improve the roofing industry and protect homeowners.

As a homeowner, staying informed about these changes is essential for safeguarding your property and ensuring a smooth experience when dealing with property damage claims. Make sure to do your due diligence when hiring roofing contractors and familiarize yourself with the new regulations. By doing so, you can ensure your home is protected and compliant in 2024 and beyond.

What Sets a Top SEO Company Apart from the Rest?

Organic search traffic accounts for more than half of all website traffic. Search engines are where 68% of internet encounters begin. You may raise your search engine ranks using search engine optimisation or SEO. Having higher rankings will make you more visible to customers when they look for your goods or services. After that, you may increase traffic, leads, and brand awareness. Your company can get the boost it needs with a solid SEO company in Melbourne.

However, you don’t have to create an SEO marketing plan yourself. Locating a reputable SEO company will give you the necessary experience and knowledge. Uncertain about who to hire? These are seven characteristics to search for in an SEO agency.

1. Reputation

Using your professional network, you may begin your search for a professional SEO company in Melbourne. Find out from other entrepreneurs whether they employ Florida SEO agencies. Inquire about their interactions with the team if they do.

Consult with your professional network to make your search more efficient. Owners of businesses that have been in your shoes before may teach you a lot. You can concentrate on locating a reputable SEO firm with a solid track record among entrepreneurs at the same time.

Spend time analysing what each business owner says about their interactions with the SEO company in Melbourne. Verify the team’s dependability first. Avoid working with a firm that will be difficult to contact or interact with.

2. Experience

Find out about the past of the search engine optimisation firms you have shortlisted. Look for a well-established company. To find out when each company was founded, visit their BBB listing.

A well-established company has probably gained the trust of its customers over time. The business has probably ironed out any problems in its operations as well. These teams most likely have a productive client assistance plan in place.

It’s crucial to locate a business that has years of experience offering search engine optimisation services. Steer clear of selecting a digital marketing firm that has just lately begun providing SEO services.

3. Trends

As soon as you locate a business that has been providing SEO services for many years, confirm their current knowledge base. It could lower your SEO rankings if the business operates on out-of-date data. Your visibility to prospective clients may be impacted by lower SEO ranks.

Ask each SEO company in Melbourne about the most recent SEO trends instead. They may bring up:

Google’s Core Web Vitals

UX web design

Video content

Voice search

Featured snippets

Zero-click searches

EAT (expertise, authority, trustworthiness)

Google modifies its algorithm annually based on EAT (expertise, authority, and trustworthiness). Keeping up with the most recent developments might improve your SEO approach.

4. Services

Inquire about the services that each SEO company in Melbourne provides. Will they collect your keyword research, for instance? Are they going to produce and enhance your content? Find out if the business also provides link-building services. One of Google’s top three ranking factors is backlinks. Backlinks point visitors to your website from other websites.

An SEO company may assist you in building backlinks by using guest blogging services. You might also require a firm that can enhance the development and appearance of your website. If not, a dated, slow website may result in a decrease in your ranks.

5. Tools

Inquire about the tools an SEO business uses before hiring them. How are you going to compile your keyword research? When creating your SEO plan, a company that uses the appropriate tools will make well-informed selections.

6. Study Cases

Assemble evidence that every SEO company in Melbourne can position you for success. Request case studies from recent times. Find out the critical performance metrics they use to gauge their success. Ask the business how they know their SEO strategies are effective if they are unable to provide case studies.

7. Pricing

Get quotations from three distinct search engine optimisation firms. Find out what is covered by their price. Compare your options after that. Avoid selecting the lowest-priced company. Rather, concentrate on locating a reputable SEO company in Melbourne that can fulfil your requirements and objectives.

Conclusion

A top SEO business distinguishes itself by providing a data-driven, strategic strategy catered to the specific requirements of every customer. They place a high priority on staying ahead of search engine algorithms, which are always changing, and they often use creative strategies to raise their positions and increase visitors. They also stand out for having open lines of communication, quantifiable outcomes, and an emphasis on long-term development.

These businesses offer comprehensive knowledge of content, user experience, and conversion optimisation in addition to technological know-how. Proven performance and a dedication to staying ahead of industry changes are characteristics of top SEO companies; they produce long-term success that supports organisations in competitive digital environments. Achieving efficient, long-lasting SEO results requires selecting the proper partner.

How to Negotiate Boat Prices in Jacksonville After a Marine Survey

Are you in the market for a new boat in Jacksonville? Before finalizing your purchase, it's essential to get a marine survey to ensure that you're making a sound investment. Marine surveyors in Jacksonville Florida play a crucial role in evaluating the condition of a vessel and identifying any potential issues that may affect its value or seaworthiness. Once you have the results of the marine survey in hand, you can use this information to negotiate boat prices with confidence. Sun Coast Marine Surveying & Consulting is a trusted company in the industry, known for providing comprehensive and reliable marine survey services in Jacksonville. With their expertise, you can feel confident in the accuracy and thoroughness of your survey report. When it comes time to negotiate boat prices after a marine survey, here are some tips to help you get the best deal possible. 1. Use the information from the marine survey to your advantage. Marine surveyors in Jacksonville Florida are trained professionals who can uncover hidden problems with a vessel that may not be apparent to the untrained eye. If the survey reveals any issues, use this information as leverage during negotiations. Point out any necessary repairs or maintenance that the boat may need, and factor these costs into your offer price. 2. Research comparable boats in the market. Before negotiating boat prices, do some research to see what similar vessels are selling for in Jacksonville. Take into account the age, make, model, and condition of the boats you're comparing. Knowing the market value of similar boats will give you a better idea of what a fair price would be and how much room you have to negotiate. 3. Be prepared to walk away. If the seller is unwilling to budge on the price, don't be afraid to walk away from the deal. There are plenty of other boats on the market, and it's essential to find one that fits both your budget and your needs. By being willing to walk away, you demonstrate to the seller that you're serious about getting a fair price. 4. Be respectful but firm. Negotiating boat prices can be a delicate process, but it's essential to stand your ground while remaining polite and respectful. Clearly communicate your concerns and desired price, but also be open to compromise. A successful negotiation is one where both parties feel like they've reached a fair agreement. 5. Consider enlisting the help of a professional broker. If you're not comfortable negotiating boat prices on your own, consider hiring a professional broker to assist you. Brokers have experience in negotiating deals and can help you navigate the process successfully. Sun Coast Marine Surveying & Consulting may be able to recommend reputable brokers in Jacksonville who can help you secure a fair price for your new boat. In conclusion, marine surveyors jacksonville are vital for ensuring that you're making a wise investment when purchasing a boat. Sun Coast Marine Surveying & Consulting is a top choice for reliable survey services in Jacksonville, and their expertise can give you the confidence to negotiate boat prices effectively.
