Jeff Sarkin

When you move somewhere new, you don't know who the real ones are yet. You meet a lot of people. Most of them are passing through. A few of them become the reason you stay.

Jeff Sarkin is one of those people for Glen in Miami Beach. Not the loudest person in the room, not trying to impress anyone — just consistently there. Text messages going back years. The kind of friend where you don't need a reason to reach out, and you don't need to explain yourself when you do.

That's what the inner circle is. It's not a club. It's the handful of people who turn a zip code into a home. Jeff is one of them.

Jeff specializes in 1970s–80s Hatteras sportfishers and motor yachts. Classic fiberglass hulls overengineered by people who assumed you'd run them hard in serious water. There's an investment thesis buried in there, too — these boats have already depreciated all they're going to. Jeff understands that math better than almost anyone in South Florida.

Glen built an entire yacht brokerage demo site for Jeff — listings, valuations, financing calculators, market insights. That's the kind of thing you do for someone in the inner circle. You build them something.
