Buyer qualification process
Yacht purchases on HELM follow a structured qualification path. This is not an e-commerce checkout. Every buyer is verified, every seller is protected, and every transaction is broker-managed.
Buyer profile & intent
HELM captures your identity, use case, timeline, and purchase structure before any listing data is shared beyond the public page.
Source of funds verification
Proof of funds, pre-approval letter, or entity documentation. HELM does not route unqualified buyers to sellers or brokers.
Broker assignment & NDA
A qualified HELM broker is assigned to your file. Confidential seller data, service records, and financials are shared under NDA.
Sea trial & survey coordination
HELM coordinates haul-out, surveyor selection, sea trial logistics, and engine diagnostics — tracked in your deal room.
Offer, counter-offer & escrow
Negotiation happens inside the HELM deal room. Escrow is opened only after both parties sign the purchase agreement.
Closing & title transfer
Documentation agent handles title, USCG filing, registration, insurance assignment, and final fund release.
