March 2013 Hi Terry, Just a note to tell you how much we appreciate the effort Joyce Griffin made in selling our houseboat last Spring. She not only listed it with enough pictures and information, but went the extra mile by tracking down prospective buyers in other parts of the state. It sold within a couple of weeks. A happy seller and buyer. Thanks, Ken and Judie |

March 2013 Hi Lisa, Just wanted to say thanks from Gary and me on the sale of our boat. All of your help made for a speedy and painless sale. The use of the pontoon was so nice of you and such a big help in getting our belongings off of the boat. As much as I hated to give her up the time was right and who knows, maybe we will be calling you in a few years for you to help us find another boat. Since the mid-90's when Terry sold us our first houseboat, through you selling our last boat we have never been disappointed with the service Houseboats Buy Terry gives to your customers. Thanks again, Linda & Gary |

July 2012 I am sure that there are many people like us who are somewhat apprehensive about the information being provided on a used boat but in our purchase, I felt that you were completely straight forward and honest, and provided the necessary information. Further, thank you for your help in dealing with the transporter; you went above and beyond, taking your personal time to accommodate him which was especially helpful to us since we were so far away. You may use me as a reference and in fact I would be happy to talk to other prospective buyers; please have them call me. Again, thank you for all your
help. |

May, 2012 Kevin & Beth, Just a note telling you two how much we appreciate your help in the purchase of our new Gibson. We were especially pleased with your interest in what we wanted and also the answers to our questions. The friendly nature and welcome was very important to me since I am a retired sales person from the auto business. Again THANKS, Buddy & Jo |

April, 2012 Terry, We just wanted to commend Houseboats Buy Terry in the sale of our houseboat. We were very impressed with the pictures and the information that Joyce Griffin put on the site. She informed us and gave us the information that we needed to sell. She was a good broker that brought the buyer in and spent a lot of time with him, and when the survey was done, she was right there with us all the way. Thank you again for your service and thank Joyce again for the fine services she provided us. Sincerely Ed & Janis |

April, 2012 Terry. Wanted to tell you we met Jake and wow he is a great person! We loved everything about him, we kinda were lost and he came to rescue us ! He showed us the boats we wanted to see and took a personal tone to all of the showings! If we were to buy a boat from houseboats by Terry we would want him to sell it to us! It is very rare we find a young man with the love of his job. He sells with truth! Good job in having him. Connie |

September, 2011 Terry, I wanted to let you know what a pleasure it was to work with Beth. She provides incredible customer service and was extremely responsive to all of my requests and questions. She and Kevin are both very knowledgeable and displayed a high degree of professionalism and integrity. Even though this purchase did not work out, I hold your company and staff in high regard and would certainly recommend you to my friends and family. Thanks, Laura |

August 2011 Hi Terry, First, I want to compliment you for running the top houseboat brokerage in the industry! We purchased our first boat from Lisa 3 years ago, and sold it with Jake in less than 24 hours! Anyway, we are anxious to get into a new one and this Horizon at Conley Bottom looks very nice. row Joe |

June, 2010 Terry, Thank you for your timely reply. I have to say I was very impressed by your honesty on the phone the other day concerning the Burns Craft on Lake Barkley. The last thing I ever expected to hear from a broker was "That is not the right boat for you and I won't sell it to you". I would like to get out the door without spending more than 40k. This will be a starter boat for me. You have all the specifications I am looking for correct otherwise. Nashville area is what I am looking for, but not landlocked on the Percy Priest. I want to be able to cruise the rivers when I have the time. Oddly enough, I received the latest copy of Houseboat Magazine in the mail today. You have a great write up in there!

December 2009, Terry, I love
looking at your website. It fills me full of dreams, hopefully reality one
day. |

June 2009, Hi Terry, Just came across your email and wanted to let you know that we are thoroughly enjoying the '85 Landau that we bought through Houseboats by Terry. Even though it is a 7 hour trip from Akron, OH to Norris, TN we have found the trip to be worth it once we are down on the dock. The Landau is a great home away from home. Thank you both for all the help in making the purchase a very satisfied one. Sharon and Chuck |

May 2009, Terry, We want
to thank you for being so nice to us during our houseboat buying experience.
Most people would have sold us the boat and left us to our own devices, but
you didn't do that and for that we are truly & gratefully appreciative. |
|
|
|
March 2009 Terry, Dee and
I want to thank you for your efforts. It was refreshing to find an honest
and helpful broker. We certainly will look to you should we purchase a boat
in the future. We will also recommend you to our friends. Please feel free
to use us as a reference. You certainly are working for your clients and
customers. |

September, 2008 Terry, I wanted to thank you for assisting in our search for our new houseboat. We found one in Ga. and closed on it yesterday. Unfortunately it wasn't a boat you had listed. Rest assured I will steer all interested in a new boat to your website. David |

Thanks to you our houseboat sold in 7 months and it was located in Oklahoma. We so appreciate all you did for us, including handling the closing of the sale. We will recommend you to anyone looking for a broker. Another satisfied customer, George and Debbie |

April , 2008 Dear Terry, Ed and I are still feasting on the wonderful day we had with you Saturday viewing our dream boat. It is no surprise after meeting you why you are so successful and have repeat customers. Ed said he would really like to deal with you when we buy a boat. Thanks again, Mikie |

August, 2007 Terry, Just a note to compliment Lisa again. I made her Sunday rather difficult. But she did a great job of working between two stubborn parties. She really represented my interests very well. I couldn't have asked for more! You and your company are great!! Dann |

April, 2007 Terry, I just wanted to take a moment and tell you how much I and my family appreciated all the help that Jake Pyzik has given us. We meet Jake on Saturday at Sulphur Creek with full intentions of closing a deal that day, however much to our dismay it fell through. However Jake has given us tips on boats contacted us when he has something that he thinks might accommodate our family. However we found another boat that was for sale through an individual that would accommodate our family. I just wanted to say thank you for having a great sales team and someone who is not pushy. We all appreciated that and we enjoyed working with Jake and I have recommended him to several friends that are looking for boats this summer. You have an excellent web site and all of your information is up to date. Again, thank you both for all of the help from keeping us informed on boats, to referring a boat mover. Thanks, Stephanie |

February, 2007 Terry, Please thank Lisa (Blakeman) for spending the day with us on Saturday. It was SOOOO cold but she was a great host! After looking at boats in 5 states we have narrowed our choices to 4 boats, the good news is you have 2 of the boats we like! Both Stella and I felt your company has been the best to work with so I want to make an offer on our 2nd favorite boat- the 1998 Lakeview. Terry thanks again, your company has been great to work with. Eddie |

February, 2007 Hi Terry, My husband & I used to houseboat for several years on the Herrington Lake. I enjoyed looking at your beautiful houseboats, and also went to a link where you can rent them. I'm totally amazed at how much can be packed into the new "big" houseboats. WOW!! They are incredible!!! Just wanted to tell you that I enjoyed your website. I won't be looking to buy---just curiosity. You have a very nice website!! Bobbie in Lexington, KY. |

January, 2007 Lisa (Blakeman), Just want you to know how much we have enjoyed working with you. Your sweet personality and enthusiasm for what you do is what sold this boat. Thank you so much, Don & Veronica |

November, 2006 Good morning! I currently live in McCook, Nebraska. Although not etched in stone, I'm contemplating moving to the Fort Myers, Florida area and wondered if you might have connections that would enable me to purchase a houseboat in that area. I'm interested in living on the boat year round. After hours of searching on the web, I thought your site was the best. Thanks, John |

October, 2006 Terry, My name is Troy and I have been looking for houseboats on the web for quite some time. My purpose is so that I have a better knowledge of "What to look for" and "How much am I going to get for my dollar". Your website has enormous amounts of products for any dollar amount. I like your site very much and will use it to help me stay informed, Thank you. I have questions about houseboats in general and would like your opinion please. What is the R-factor on the insulation of a houseboat. I know this answer will vary, but there should be some kind of industry standard. The reason I am asking is I want to know if I can live year round on the boat. April-October on the water, October-April off the water. I live in North Dakota and that means REALLY cold, approximately coldest in January and temps. are around 0-10deg. average. If you could help me out on that, I would be very grateful. Thank you again,
Troy |

October, 2006 Terry, If it wasn't for stumbling across your site, we would still be unhappy landlubbers. This lifestyle has changed our lives, I don't think we will ever live on land again! Thanks, Gary and Mary Kay |

|
|
October, 2006 Hey Lisa (Blakeman), I want to thank you all for getting my boat sold. I really appreciate your professionalism. I'll be back into the "boat business", and if I don't build another one, I'll certainly seek you out. You have a fine company. Thanks again, Jon |

October, 2006 Hello Jake, I am in New Zealand and am amazed at the selection and quality of your Houseboats. I have some questions : -We are looking for one to live on and do our boating in the Hauraki Gulf out of Auckland. There are many Islands and sheltered bays but moderate seas sometimes have to be crossed. -What would be the cost to ship say a 40' one to New Zealand ? I look forward to your comments. Regards, Emil and Barbara |

September, 2006 Dear Terry, After talking to Bob some more, we've decided that we really need for a trailer to come with the boat; we actually have an appointment 1 week from tomorrow to go up to Northern AZ to check out a cabin cruiser. If it doesn't work out, we'll be sure to keep your website in mind while we continue on our search for our "dream boat". You have one of the best websites that I've come across and believe me, I've spent MEGA hours searching. Thanks again, Cheryl |

August, 2006 Dear Terry, I can't tell you how my wife and I appreciate all that you and Elizabeth have done for us! You are TRUE!!! professionals!! I will be down this weekend and stop by to see you. I owe you more than the contract fee, you all went way out of the way to sell our boat! Talk to you soon. THANKS AGAIN FOR EVERYTHING! Bill H. |

June, 2006 Terry, I was just sitting here on the back deck of the Cumberland Classic I bought off you last fall, watching the sunset on the lake, and was thinking of the day I decided to buy this boat. So I thought I’d shoot you and email to say thanks. I named her the Margaret Elizabeth after my grandmothers. I have made a few changes too, I put a flat screen TV on the wall and put a fireplace in the space where the TV was, it’s the talk of the dock here. I am planning to add a flybridge sometime soon. Anyways, hope all is well at Lake Cumberland. Chuck Lake Raystown, PA |

March, 2006 Hi Terry, Just a quick intro and to let you know how much my wife and I love your web-page. We are constantly scanning it and the boats, dreaming of the day we can move back south and buy us a "live aboard" houseboat. We are joining my brother and his family this May at Dale Hollow (Cedar Hill Resort) for a short 1 week vacation and have already reserved a 50 footer for the stay. Cant hardly wait! We have been living in Nebraska since my retirement from Uncle Sam's Canoe Club (I say that in jest - best damn Navy in the world) but lately both of us have been missing not only the weather down there, but also the people, customs and lifestyle. I sometimes call my brother just to hear the southern accent...is that homesick or what? Anyway, when we are ready to purchase our houseboat, rest assured you and your company will be the first to hear from us! Sincerely, Paul Nebraska |

Terry, Great selections! This is the best website I've found for used houseboats. Do you have an idea what the cost would be to transport a 16 x 70 houseboat to Lake Texhoma, on the Texas/Oklahoma border?
Thanks,
Bruce

Terry, I would like to say thank you to both you and your husband for the information you provided and your time. It is easy to see why your business is successful. I would absolutely recommend your business to anyone looking to purchase a used houseboat. Let me know if I can assist you in any way in the future. I will also be contacting the financing and insurance folks that you introduced me to at the show. Thanks again for your help. Paul. Paul New Mexico |

August 2005 Terry, Once again it has been great working with you, and we will continue to refer anyone we know to you. We are really sorry that you didn't have a boat listed that was a good fit for us. Maybe next time. And we all know that there will be a next time!! Take Care, Nick & Dawn |

May 2005 Dear Terry, We wanted to thank you for lending an ear and uttering words of advice throughout the sale of our boat. We are well aware that you are quite busy, but you took time to offer your services to us when we were not buying a boat from you. It was nice to know someone so knowledgeable was available to answer questions and would provide honest answers. The sale of the boat was rocky at times, but it worked out in the end. We enjoyed looking at boats with you at Conely Bottom. We recently bought a boat at Grove Marina. We will contact you again in a few years when we are looking for another boat. Thank you, again, Dominique and Jeff |

March 2005 Thank You Tom ! And please pass on my thanks to Terry...she has done one hell of a job on this boat for us ! Thanks, Doug |
|
Feb. 2005 Terry, I’ve got the Spring Fever and I was browsing your website. I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed going through the Photo Albums that you have. The pictures are heart warming on a cold, dreary day. Hope everything is going well for all. Have a great year and hope to see you. Mary |
|
Feb. 2005 Terry, It was a pleasure for Pam and I to meet you at the Houseboat Expo Friday night. As we are total novices in the area of houseboats and the purchasing of one. It was comforting to talk to someone who understands our position. We are very serious about purchasing a houseboat and enjoying a new lifestyle. We are looking forward to spending some time with you looking at the boats you have available. Again, thanks for your time Friday night. We were beginning to feel a bit overwhelmed. Gary & Pam |
|
Jan. 2005 Terry, First, before anything else, I want to make sure and thank you for the wonderful job you have done for us in securing our new boat. Being a first time Houseboater, your help has been very important in allowing us to make what I think has been a very good decision. Thanks, Doug |
|
Jan. 2005 Terry, Chris was very complimentary on you and how you do business. I feel that we were very lucky that Laura happened to pick the boat she did so that we have the opportunity to work with the best in the business. Thanks for all your help, and I look forward to seeing you again on Sunday ! Thanks, Doug |
|
Jan. 2005 Terry, Celeste and I would like to say THANK YOU for all the help and a wonderful job, you and your team have done on selling our boat. Chuck |

Jan. 2005 Terry, Jackie delivered the houseboat yesterday. I had him go ahead and paint the bottom even though it might have held another year or two. Anyway, it looks great, Jackie is a great guy to work with and I would highly recommend him. He said he would come get it and paint it again next time. My wife and I are quite pleased with the boat, my "neighbors" at the lake were quite impressed as well. Hope to meet you in person someday. Thanks for the tee shirts as well. I really have enjoyed reading the scriptures on your web site, I pull it up all most every day, keep it up. Maybe in a few years when I retire we can open up the Norris Lake division of Houseboats Buy Terry!!!!!!!! Thanks again for everything. God speed, Tom and Geneva |

Oct. 2004 Ahoy, Thanks for your kind hospitality. Whether we buy through you or not (and I am 'leaning' toward it -- but want to crunch the numbers and the pluses and minuses with Jim) I want you to know that we've always appreciated your knowledge and support in this process. You’re a salesperson, as you should be, but at some level, I think you really do want the customer to end up with the 'right boat' for them. That means a lot. Randy F. |
|
Oct. 2004 Hello, I'm Todd and I'm the guy that called Terry Sat. evening wondering if she thought I could get a loan on an older boat. It's a 1971 Lazy Days. Its sounds like a steel considering what they are selling for. I have A+ credit. Yet still is difficult finding financing due to the age. Based on the net and all the houseboat forums I've skimmed, Terry is the best of the best. I don't know where else to turn w/ that said. Thank you for taking the time to help me, Todd |

Sept. 2004 Terry,

Hi Terry,
I would be very interested in the above boat if it is still for sale. I am in the UK but I am prepared to come over to view it. The key question is I want to take it to Jamaica. Do you know of any way freight/shipping companies etc. that would take it to Negril for me and at what cost. I am looking for a houseboat now, and check your website every day, my only problem is getting it to Jamaica. Can you assist.
Thanks,
Mr
I abdool

August, 2004 Terry, thank you for all of the information about houseboats on your website. Your boat listings are excellent, I checked your website many times for the catamaran style houseboats, which we prefer. Thanx again, Dave |
|
August, 2004 Terry, Just wanted to say we love our boat! Bonita |
|
August, 2004 Good morning Terry, Our first weekend on the boat went great! I really appreciate all your help and coordination efforts throughout this past week in seeing the sale through especially on such short notice. We really look forward to having 3 or 4 years of pleasure and relaxation on "License to Chill" until we get a case of twofootitis in which case, we'll be back to see you. Again, thanks for all your help. Greg S. |
