Sales Advisory 

​

BAAM assists with sales of art, jewelry and collectibles through auctions, dealers, galleries, and private sales. BAAM and its experienced professionals are uniquely positioned to serve as an agent for its clients at every step to ensure a seamless process.

​

BAAM aims to help clients meet their sales goals by maximizing proceeds and by achieving any other objectives. They ensure that items are sold through the best-suited venue and location at the right time with enticing and appropriate pre-sale estimates and favorable terms. By working with BAAM’s most senior professionals, rather than approaching sales venues as private individuals, clients obtain lower seller’s fees and minimize other related costs.
