Frequently Asked Questions
How do you value a marina in Santa Barbara County, CA?
We evaluate slip count and size, dock and seawall condition, water depth, fuel dock revenue, dry storage capacity, land value, and any additional revenue streams like ship stores or boat rentals.
What if my docks or seawalls need major repairs?
We buy marinas in any condition. Deteriorating docks, aging seawalls, and silted basins are factored into our offer. You do not need to make repairs before selling.
Are waterway permits and submerged land leases transferable?
In most cases, yes. State submerged land leases, Army Corps permits, and DEP authorizations typically transfer with the property. We coordinate with California agencies to ensure a smooth transition.
Do I need to terminate existing slip agreements?
No. All slip rental agreements, seasonal contracts, and storage arrangements transfer to the buyer at closing. Your boaters continue their agreements uninterrupted.
What about environmental liability for fuel spills or contamination?
Marina properties often have environmental considerations from fuel operations. We assess these as part of due diligence and can still close even if Phase I or Phase II assessments reveal concerns.
How long does it take to close on a marina sale?
Marina sales in Santa Barbara County typically close in 30 to 60 days due to waterway permits, submerged land lease transfers, and environmental review. We expedite every step.
What Our Sellers Say
“My mom passed and I inherited her place in Antioch. It needed a ton of work and I live out of state so I couldn't deal with contractors or showings. They came out, looked at it, and had a number for me the next day. We closed in 9 days. The whole thing was so much easier than I expected.”
Inherited Property
“Honestly I was skeptical at first because I'd heard horror stories about cash buyers lowballing people. But they explained exactly how they came up with the number and it was fair. We were behind on payments and they got everything done in a week. No last-minute changes, no surprises at closing.”
Avoided Foreclosure
“My husband got transferred to Dallas and we had about three weeks to figure out the house. A friend told us about EasyOffer. They gave us a cash offer that same afternoon and worked around our move date. We closed 11 days later without having to do a single showing or open house.”
