I have been contacted by other companies that "claim" to do the same thing but with better results! They sound too good to be true and they will not stop calling me... Are they all scams. What makes The Boat & RV Group any different?
The difference is proven by the Better Business Bureau! We are the ONLY accredited advertising agency in this industry, and we have the highest rating posssible from our customers with zero complaints. We are the only legitimate listing service of this kind and pioneered this business model 15 years ago.

These "other services" are knock-offs of our program design to steal your money. They "tell you what you want to hear" to get you to waste your money with them. They are sales driven with uneducated commissioned sales people reading "scripts" that are full of lies and simply "dialing for dollars". Their goal, get as many suckers to sign up as possible. Once they have ripped too many people off and obtain a "scam" reputation and bad report with the Better Business Bureau they change their name and start over under another name to hide their past reputation!

 - They claim they sell everything within 2-3 week. This is a lie. The average sales cycle by industry standards is 30-180 days. Their customer reviews with the BBB indicated they do not even sell your boat or RV ever!
 - They claim you can get more than you are asking. This is a lie. It just "sounds good" to get you to go with their service. They get you to raise your price and you end up overpriced and out of the market.
 - They claim they have buyer's lined up already to buy your boat or RV. This is a lie to get you to give them your money. Again, check the BBB they do not sell anything at all.
 - They even claim they have a great record with the Better Business Bureau knowing most people are trusting and will believe them and not check these claims.

Everything they tell you is to get you to sign up on the spot so you do NOT check them out with the BBB! Below is their BBB records, each one of them are scams. Click on their name to go to their BBB report:

RV Seller's Network - 80% negative customer reviews reports they are scam. 129 customer complaints.
Pop Yachts and Pop RVs - 70% negative reviews, 15 customer complaints.
National  Multi-list - F-rating...  classified as a fraud by the BBB.
Once Driven -  100% NEGATIVE reviews with 162 consumer complains that they are a scam.

The Boat & RV Group has 100% positive customer reviews, NO negative reviews, 1 customer complaint (by a man who is not our customer and never used our service he was upset he received a text message from us) and the highest customer review average possible... 5-stars!


Why do you have such a high success rate and GREAT Better Business Bureau record while these others are scams! What do you do different?
The owner of The Boat & RV Group pioneered this business model 15 years ago. He established relationships with the major boating and RV sites and we pays theses major sites to post ads on those high traffic sites. The same way brokers and dealers advertise and sell their inventories. We RE-INVEST your money back into advertising on sites that are proven and deliver the sale. 

These other scams mimicked this business model and instead of paying to be on sites that deliver, they created a network of bogus boat and RV classified sites they own so they do not have to invest any of your money in advertising ... they pocket 100% of the fee (which is higher than our fee!). These sites are designed to fool you into thinking you are mass advertised and have nationwide exposure; when in reality you have no exposure at all. These are not real classified sites, they were created just to steal your money.

That is why our ad campaigns deliver the sale 99/9% of the time! We list over 2,000 units per year and average only 3 refunds each year. That is why we have an outstanding BBB record and 5-star customer reviews and we are the only service back by the BBB with an accredidation. We are simply the real deal and we use your money to advertise your boat and RV on the major established classifieds proven to work over time and used by brokers and dealers (because they work).

We do not "put your money back into our sales force" in an effort to get vast numbers of people to sign up based on lies. These scams invest your money to purchase autodialers and pay commissioned sales people to lie to you and put you into a "system" that automatically predictive dials phone numbers and calls/txts your hundreds of times until you finally give in.

That is not the way we do business. We are legit, honest, and our program is proven through the BBB.

I have been SCAMMED!
Unfortunately many of you have fallen for the high pressure sales tactics and flat out lies of RV Seller's Network, Once Driven, National Multi-list, or Pop Yachts/Pop Rvs.

If you have been taken by these fraudulent companies, contact your credit card companty and get those charges REVERSED. Then go the the BBB and launch a complaint. That is the only way we are going to stop them from stealing more money from trusting sellers.

Then do yourself a favor, and re-invest the money you get back into an Ad Campaign with The Boat & RV Group and join every other customer who has ever used our service in achieving the sale!
Why should I list over the winter, shouldn't I wait until Spring?
Those who list early are 100% more likely to sell during the winter as most people make the mistake and stop adverting!  There is less competition for the buyers over the Winter/off-season.  Listing over the Winter gives the selller an 80% better chance of selling in early Spring over those who wait to list in Spring!  

Read on...

Ratios and early buyers!
While the number of buyers drops over the holidays, so too does the number of people listing so the ratio of buyers/sellers remains the same! So too does the chance of selling your RV over the winter.  There are many buyers who wait until the off-season to "get a good deal" and so forth and many who start looking early for the coming Spring so they can travel during that time.  If you don't list it... you can't sell it to those off-season and early buyers.

Ads take time before they are found on major search engines!
It is also the BEST time to list because major search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc. take about 45-60 days for their crawlers to crawl every page on the Internet and rebuild their database.  So the ads will be picked up over that period and buyers will not be able to find any ad you post on major search engines for about 45 days (whether you use our service or post the ad yourself).  So while it slows down and people are doing other things for the holidays, your ad campaign can have the time to become well entrenched on the internet so it is easily found come Spring.  If you wait until Spring, you miss 2 of the most important productive months of "the season" because your ads cannot be found on major search engines!

All you are missing is the opportunity and exposure by waiting!
This is why major RV sites require you to renew and pay again every 30 days or so, they know you will have to in order to keep the ads up long enough to become effective.  With The Boat & RV Group, your ads run until sold no renewal fees and your ads have that time to build steam over time so get started early as possible and take full advantage of this service.

Our fee is one-time until sold so it does not cost anymore to run the campaign early and you gain a lot in the process.
Why does your BBB record indicate only 2 years in
business?
The BBB only considers when I did business under my website name "boatrvgroup".  For the past 15 years I have done business under my personal name as a listing broker.  My website has always been boatrvgroup.com but 2 years ago I decided to "do business as" the name of my website instead of my personal name.  I am working with the BBB to come to some resolution to indicate the real time in business on my BBB record.
Where will my ads be placed?  How many pictures can I include with my ad?
We have the most complete and comprehensive advertising campaigns available anywhere.  We accept up to 12 pictures with your ad.  Click below to view the sites included in your ad campaign:

   RVing sites :: Boating Sites :: Major Search Engine Placement :: Major Classifieds
 
How will I know my ads have been placed and how do I find them?
We will complete your ad campaign within 24-48 hours.  Once the ads have been posted and we receive the ad links, we email you a full report with direct links to all your new ads! 
 
Are there any other fees associated with your program?  What about eBay auction fees, commission, renewal fees, etc.?
No.  All you pay is a one-time fee to use our service.  We run your ad campaign until your boat or RV sells.  We cover all other costs.  Your boat or RV remains for-sale-by-owner so there is no commission and no renewal fees.
 
What is your success rate?
We have been in business selling boats and RVs since 1999.  We average listing approximately 2500 ad campaigns every year.  We average 3 refund requests per year over the past decade.  So about 3customers each year fail to achieve a sale out of 2500 who use our service and we qladly refund our fee in full and continue to advertise until sold!
 
How long does my ad campaign run?
All your ads run until sold.
 
Do you offer financing and other buyer services?
Yes.  We work with national lenders across the US.  Our lenders work with all credit types to ensure the best rate for the buyer.  Since your boat/RV remains for sale-by-owner and the buyer contacts you directly, please refer any buyer that requires financing to us and we'll take it from there.
 
There are a lot of on-line scams.  How do I know this is legit?
That is a great question!  You can contact our past customers here.  We are acredited with an A+ Rating with the Better Business Bureau and from ScamAdvisor.com.  We have zero complaints on Ripoff Report (note, this report is for another company, it is not The Boat & RV Group).
 
Do you work with the Better Business Bureau?
Yes.  We are BBB Accredited with an A rating!  One of the only serviceds nationwide accredited by the BBB with the highest rating.  We work with the BBB to resolve any disputes.  We have had zero complaints in 15 years in business! We "average" a perfect 5-star rating from those who have used this service... the highest rating possible. 

 
Can you take all the pictures and information from my existing ad or do I have to complete the form on-line?
Yes we can take all the pictures and information from your existing ad.  Simply call Paul 877-212-1453.
 
Where are you located?
Our main office is in Dallas, TX.  The Boat & RV Group is a state-of-the-art business leveraging the power of the internet.  We promote "working from home" for our employees to reduce our overhead (and therefore your costs) and promote a family friendly environment.  We have a network of associates working across the United States. 
 
Do you add to my asking price and then take a cut?  How do I know if my price is right?
No we do not dictate your asking price and we do not mark it up or take anything off of the sale.  You set your own price.  We recommend you use a search engine to search for the Year/Make/Model of your boat/RV.  Look at others like yours and see what they are going for.  That will give you a very good idea of the "market value" you are competing against.  You should be within that price range.

We also suggest checking the NADA value for your boat/RV.  This will give you a ballpark value if you cannot establish a market value by searching other units for sale like yours.
 
What forms of payment to you accept?
We accept all major credit cards, PayPal, ProPay, money orders, cachier checks, and personal checks.
