“I don’t like to make referrals because I don’t trust other companies with our reputation.” - Rico Baca, AuctioneerWe get it. Referring clients always entails risk. Our answer: solutions based on your needs.
Building Relationships
We invest in building lasting relationships based on understanding our clients. Your business, communication style, and objectives are unique, and we have developed personalized, flexible strategies that conform to your needs. We are very clear that an estate attorney handling a death or divorce is a very different situation from a wealth manager or designer refining a collection for a client. The sensitivities you have with your client are met with the same energy from our organization, providing for a comfortable, seamless, and successful transaction. If the firm you are using to liquidate assets is not making your life easier, why use them?We want to learn about your specific needs:
Business: Are you solo or do you work with a team? Is there an assistant who will be handling aspects of our work together? Let us know if you would like to learn about our team as well. Communication: Do you prefer to communicate by email, text, or phone? Single point of contact or shall we utilize our team to full effect? Do we direct communication with your client and copy you, or does everything go through you? Objectives & Support: What is your background and service area? Are most of your clients long-term or transactional? Do you prefer to submit items for valuation or would you like PBMA on site with you? Client Goal: What is their timeline? Are they seeking to liquidate an entire estate or rotate out a few pieces? Do they know the collection intimately or inherit unfamiliar pieces?Reputable Relationships
