Valuation & Exit Strategy
Knowing what your wines are worth—and, equally, when and how to realise that value—is just as important as selecting them in the first place.
For this reason, our valuation and exit strategy service provides the clarity and confidence you need. Moreover, it helps ensure that you sell at the right time and through the right channels.
Comprehensive, independent valuations
I provide valuations based on recent market transactions, LiveTrade data, and public auction results.
In contrast to merchants who may have conflicts of interest, my independence ensures that valuations reflect genuine market demand rather than sales targets.
Moreover, I consider bottle condition, provenance, and critic scores. In addition, I use dynamic pricing tools similar to those offered by leading merchants. This ensures accuracy and transparency at every stage.
Tailored exit routes
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to selling wine. Instead, you can choose from private sales to our network of collectors, broking through trusted merchants, or selling via platforms like LiveTrade.
To guide you, I advise on the merits of each route, carefully weighing fees, liquidity, and speed. Moreover, when appropriate, I can also split cases, arrange re-inspection, and manage shipping on your behalf.
Ultimately, my aim is to maximise your net returns while at the same time protecting both your reputation and your privacy.
Ongoing monitoring and reporting
I offer quarterly valuation reports as well as alerts for significant market movements. Through this regular monitoring, you can decide when to sell or reallocate funds with greater confidence.
In addition, my service complements LivEx real-time tracking. However, it remains vendor-neutral and fully tailored to your personal goals.
