Frank Gordon began his career in the yacht brokerage business in the late 1950’s. He worked as Sales Manager for Welch Marine, which was the largest Hatteras dealer at that time. In 1969, he opened his own brokerage business at Harbor West in Ft. Lauderdale, and over the years, his knowledge in the business has become legendary. Repeat business is how he became successful, and he has sold dozens of boats to the same family, from father to son. After thousands of sales, he has never been in a law suit over a boat purchase, and has never kept a buyer’s deposit. He would much rather have a satisfied buyer and seller. Frank Gordon Yacht Sales, Inc. has been located at the Bahia Mar Yachting Center, for nearly 30 years, and has many hardworking associates scattered throughout boating centers all over the US. Frank Gordon is a well known and trusted name throughout the industry.
Frank;
Hopefully at 65 you can look back and see the central role you have played in this business. Before there was any MLS there was Frank Gordon. You were like the Public Library, if you didn't have access to Frank Gordon, you were screwed.
If you walked up to anyone who has been a broker for 20 years and said "name three brokers who have had an impact on this business" my guess is your name would be number one, and they would have trouble of thinking of any others.
