Luxury Literacy Consulting
Luxury Goods Purchasing Decisions
When it comes to making decisions on the purchase of luxury goods, we can guide you with the market data necessary to determine the potential future value of your items. Knowing what will hold value and what won’t will change the way you shop.
Working with your interior designers
As your new interior is being designed, know that some furnishings will diminish in value by as much as 80% on the secondary market, while other brands will hold more of their value. Well curated items by iconic designers and makers have the potential to rise in value. This holds true for furnishings, decorative arts, lighting and fine art. We can consult with your designer to recommend pieces that beautify your home, hold their value and harmonize with your designer’s vision. You can consult with us on choices you are considering and we will give you the research to make good decisions.
When it comes time to sell or donate your interior you'll have confidence that your Luxury Literacy will protect your assets because you planned for it.

Appraisals - We do It All
In accordance with the International Society of Appraisers (ISA) Appraisal Report Writing Standards (ARWS), we provide insurance, donation, estate planning and estate tax appraisal reports that are USPAP and IRS compliant. In addition, we keep appraisals updated to reflect accurate insurance coverage and evaluate your existing appraisals so you are neither over or under insuring.

Consulting and Dispersal Strategy
Valuing, Selling & Emptying Contents
When faced with a household full of possessions from a lifetime, or an apartment or home getting ready for market, the first savvy step is to understand the value of the contents so it can be sold for the highest returns. We routinely work on behalf of clients to sell and empty their property with end-to-end services. This includes matching the right level of property to the right consignor, connecting you to online estate sellers, facilitating buyouts, donations and clearing the space until it is empty.
