“I recently represented the Seller in a harbor sale on the Illinois side of the Mississippi. Rick Roughen and National Marina Sales did an excellent job representing the Seller. Rick was knowledgeable and on top of all issues. He never backed down. I would highly recommend Rick and his firm.”
Daniel Barklage, Grafton Harbor Marina
“After owning The Harbor at Lemon Bay for 16 years, I had built a crew and customer base that I was concerned for in the future. Your hard work, honesty and professionalism in finding the right new owner and sticking with me throughout the entire sales process was a blessing for all. The marketing effort was second to none and I was truly amazed at the response and interest it generated. If I can in any way be of assistance to you in the future please call, and if you ever need a reference I would be honored to help in any way.”
Mark LaPrade, Thunder Marine International
