I've known him in passing for many years but this was the first time I needed him professionally. I decided to sell my boat in the fall and I called him wondering if we should try now or wait until the spring. He gave me the old "nothing ventured nothing gained" pep talk and we decided to list the boat. We had a full bid offer within 18 hours. John took the lead in arranging visits and a survey with a haul out I really had to do nothing other than operate the boat one day for a sea trial. He made the entire process easy and stress free. Getting an offer in a day didn't hurt! ###### LATEST POSTS [![Image of the related post](https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-03-19%20at%2010.09.38%20AM.png) ](https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/testimonials/beneteau-40-seller) [ Beneteau 40 - Seller ](https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/testimonials/beneteau-40-seller) [![Image of the related post](https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/hubfs/Hull-Port%20Side.jpeg) ](https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/testimonials/kelland-sewell-buyer-of-hylas-44-penn-station) [ Kelland Sewell - Buyer of Hylas 44 Penn Station ](https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/testimonials/kelland-sewell-buyer-of-hylas-44-penn-station) [![Image of the related post](https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/hubfs/Maria%20Christina.jpg) ](https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/testimonials/xavier-a.-seller-beneteau-49-maria-cristina) [ Xavier A. - Seller: Beneteau 49 Maria Cristina ](https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/testimonials/xavier-a.-seller-beneteau-49-maria-cristina) ###### Share [![Facebook](https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/hubfs/Website%20Images/facebook-color.png) ](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/testimonials/blog/paul-koch-seller-of-freedom-35/976) [![Twitter](https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/hubfs/Website%20Images/twitter-color.png) ](https://twitter.com/share?url=https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/testimonials/blog/paul-koch-seller-of-freedom-35/976&text=Paul%20Koch%20-%20Seller%20of%20Freedom%2035) [![Email](https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/hubfs/Website%20Images/email-color.png) ](mailto:?subject=Paul%20Koch%20-%20Seller%20of%20Freedom%2035&body=https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/testimonials/blog/paul-koch-seller-of-freedom-35/976) ##### TELL US ABOUT YOUR DREAM YACHT #### SEND US A MESSAGE Purchasing a bluewater vessel can be a daunting prospect, especially if it’s your first boat.
