s far as I’m concerned, the real superheroes are those great guys at Heritage.

We customize strategies and financial services to meet your needs and those of your clients While fine art and vintage collectibles can be sources of pleasure, mental stimulation and pride, they can also be important assets of an estate or investment portfolio.

APPRAISAL SERVICES Heritage’s Appraisal Services department is prepared to assist individual collectors, estate executors, wealth advisors, attorneys and bankers in completing formal appraisals for single pieces of tangible property, collections and estates. Formal appraisal fees for insurance, estate taxes or charitable donations, written in compliance with all IRS, USPAP and Insurance standards, are competitive with industry standards and based on the appraisers’ time to complete the appraisal.

TRUSTS & ESTATES Fiduciaries responsible for major estates can be assured of a proposal that considers all fine art and collectible items in your client’s estate – unlike some auction houses that sell less-expensive objects in bulk, or to auctioneers catering primarily to dealers. With roughly 75 percent of all lots purchased by retail collectors, Heritage places your client’s property before an eager collecting audience willing to pay more than dealers.

FINANCIAL SERVICES More than $190 million in assets and $55 million in equity and owner’s capital allows Heritage to regularly finance acquisitions and provide generous advances against consignments. Under some circumstances, Heritage is willing to participate as a joint venture partner. Heritage and its lending partner, First United Bank, provide numismatists with bank loans for durations up to one year on their collections.

Aggressive marketing efforts and media placement There’s a reason Heritage Auctions holds world records in auctions across multiple categories, including coins, comics, comic art, illustration art, natural history, movie posters, and Civil War/militaria. The treasures offered by Heritage are more than just auction lots — they are pieces of history. The rarities handled by Heritage Auctions frequently receive worldwide coverage from numerous outlets across a variety of media. Strategic advertising campaigns in the top industry publications, direct mailings to targeted collector bases, website video highlights, award-winning auction catalogs and a professional public relations staff ensure maximum auction awareness.
