There is a growing demand by private clients to unlock the equity in their collections much like a mortgage provides financial flexibility to owners of real estate.  FAWM works exclusively with professional advisors to evaluate their client's art holdings when implementing a lending transaction secured by works of art including:

•    Work with valuation experts to determine the value for the lender

•    Compile auction comparables to test valuation conclusions

•    Perform art due-diligence including research on provenance and authenticity

•    Arrange legal due diligence and structure the loan

•    Design a disposal strategy with the lender which optimizes proceeds from sale
