I was speaking at the Chester County Estate Planners meeting last night about my experiences on the Antiques Roadshow and mentioned that because of my back ground in antiques and being a realtor I am a good source for estate planners to contact when they need advice on an estate. Sort of like a one stop resource.
I know auctioneers locally and in large cities including New York, as well as dealers, collectors, and museums around the world. When deciding what to do with an estate there are many options not just selling although this is of course one option but is it best for the estate? Whilst there are the collections to deal with there is of course the real estate as well and we can handle both angles for these planners because of our connections and experience.
We can arrange on site auctions of both the real estate and the collections or have the collections removed and the home staged for sale to bring the best price for the estate. It is all a matter of a little planning ahead and laying out a route with the input of the collector and their family being best when possible.
If you need help with an estate feel free to contact me. This is when the team concept is most apt to handling a transaction.
