The auction cycle provides fantastic opportunities to achieve world-record prices for your high-value assets. However, the timeline is a significant challenge for those who need liquidity.
Key Takeaways
- Palm Beach’s social season brings together a concentration of ultra-high-net-worth residents and seasonal visitors from around the world.
- The Palm Beach social calendar — polo, equestrian events, charity galas, and arts events — creates unique opportunities for private asset-backed lending.
- Palm Beach Loan serves the island’s seasonal and year-round residents with discreet, fast liquidity against watches, jewelry, fine art, and vehicles.
- For collectors and event attendees, asset-backed loans from Palm Beach Loan provide immediate capital without the tax or emotional implications of selling.
From the moment you consign a piece of art, a rare watch, or a significant jewel, it can be three to six months—or longer—before the auction takes place and the house releases your funds. This long waiting period can prevent you from acting on other time-sensitive investments or business needs.
You don’t have to wait. We can provide an “auction bridge loan” to unlock that capital immediately.
We offer two strategic options:
- Loan Against the Consigned Asset: If you have already consigned an item to a major auction house (like Sotheby’s, Christie’s, or Phillips), we can often provide a loan against a percentage of the low estimate, to be repaid when the auction proceeds are paid out.
- Loan Against Other Assets: A simpler and faster method is to use other assets in your collection (that you are not selling) as collateral. This provides you with immediate cash to use as you wish, with no lien on your consigned item.
This strategy gives you the best of both worlds: the immediate cash you need and the high-price potential of a major auction sale. You are no longer a hostage to the auction house’s long timeline.
If you are planning to sell at an upcoming auction or have already consigned items, contact us to discuss how we can bridge the gap and provide you with immediate liquidity.
