Thank you very much Cindy for making this such a smooth process for us especially being our first time to do this. Your expertise and quick responsiveness was greatly appreciated!! You came highly recommended by many and now we completely understand why. 

Matt Bedigian and his fishing partner have won a place to represent Massachusetts in the Bassmaster Team Championship at Lake Hartwell.

Cindy, Thanks, so much for all your hustle. You have been a pleasure to work with, in every way. Buying a large boat is a stressful process but your great communication made it so much less so. We will be sure to pass on the “good word” in working with you on the AGLCA forum […]

Thank you so much Cindy! You have made this whole process easy, enjoyable, and stress-free. You did a wonderful job! For sure let me know when you’re in the area as I live a golf cart ride away from the marina. Thank you so much again! Ready to hit the water.

Great job. Thanks for all your hard work and attention throughout the process.

Cindy, I meant to send you a picture of the boat in its new home on our lift and totally forgot! We got it home with no problems on Friday and have been working on it and cleaning it up in anticipation of next season! Thank you so much for all of your help along […]

Thank you so much, Cindy.   You have been fantastic, and I hope this is one of many boats we work with you on.  Thank you so very much for all of your help, and we will speak soon! Thanks! 

Rising interest rates in the current economic uncertainties are a concern for everyone. And since Sterling Associates is in the business of finding solutions for our clients’ borrowing needs, it’s a primary concern of ours. Sterling Associates President Shawn Rogan has been watching rising interest rates at the Federal Reserve, but has not yet seen […]

Cindy, We can’t thank you enough, from the bottom of our hearts. We just arrived in Annapolis to the boat and it is everything we have ever dreamed of and then some. You have made this process seamless and we couldn’t have asked for a better team. You kept us ten steps ahead, provided us […]

It is not a requirement that the person helping arrange the financing on your new power boat be an experienced captain or someone who spends a lot of time on a boat. But it doesn’t hurt, either.  Having a good working knowledge of boats and the boating life makes it easier for our associates to […]

Attention all Pacific Northwest boaters: Sterling Associates will be at the Anacortes Boat & Yacht Show featuring TrawlerFest this weekend!

Cindy, It was a pleasure working with you. Your competency, patience and helpful attitude made this such a smooth process. I’m thrilled with the financing you were able to obtain. The 10% down and super competitive rate made for what I consider the best possible financing I could have found. I’m looking forward to enjoying […]

Cindy, thank you so much for everything you’ve done. You’ve made it a very easy process. I hope to make it back to Casa D’Angelos soon!

THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH!!! Jim and I are so very appreciative of every hurdle you jumped and time you wanted to throw your hands up and kept going. You have no idea how refreshing it is (after the nightmare with our 1st boat) to know that there are honest, caring and polite individuals […]

Cindy, Thank you so much! It was a great experience working with you from start to finish. We hit a few small hurdles but we got through them efficiently and without stress. I really appreciated your clear and concise emails with advice on what to expect, instructions, and quick response times.

Thanks so much Cindy! It’s been a real pleasure working with you. Thanks for all your help the last month.

Thank you, Cindy, and we very much appreciate your guidance and patience through the process. FYI… I have had an offshore fishing boat for the last 36 years, and my patient wife suggested that we needed a retirement boat. Thankfully, I had enough sense… learned over the years to listen and know when to say […]

Hi Shawn, I just wanted to reach out to tell you what a wonderful experience we’ve had. Douglas was incredibly helpful; his communication and professionalism was second to none. We look forward to the next transaction. Thank you so much again Doug! All the best! 

Cindy, Thanks again for all your prompt assistance with our boat buying needs. You’re the greatest.  Hopefully, this will be it for a few years anyway. I still want to get a trawler in the future, so we’ll be talking again.

Cindy, Thank you so much for your tireless effort in handling the purchase of our new boat!! We are so thankful for your patience and care with every step of the process. Also, thank you so much for the recommendation of our broker Andrea Gaines! She has had the same level of experience and expertise […]

Cindy, Thank you! You made this easy and answered all of my questions. It was a pleasure working with you as well and I will let you know if I have any questions. ~Jay S.

Thank you for all you did in this process! Especially for the patience in walking me through the hard-to-navigate things. It seems like just yesterday that Paula and I watched you on the AGLCA video and said, “Hey, let’s give Cindy a try.”. Boy are we glad we did. We’ll keep in touch.

Our reps, Phil, Walter, Tom, and Doug are out in full force at the Miami International Boat Show on February 15-19th, 2023. This promises to be one of the biggest shows of the year and we are thrilled to be a part of it.  Please come see us at HP486 at One Herald Plaza.  We […]
