Art Brokerage Arvostelua 

I have worked with Art Brokerage for many years/transactions and I can not be happier with the company; especially with my broker. Robbie is awesome! Once I submit an inquiry for purchase, I get immediate responses within the day…even through the weekend!
Albeit I was skeptical about purchasing art online initially but the first transaction went swimmingly.
I’ve purchased mostly Erté sculptures to an 8’ tall Tolla that lives in our front driveway. Most of the paintings are 30x48 and larger and legitimate. Shipping and handling for all items, except for one delivery, have been well received. Please note that Art Brokerage does not ship the items, the seller is supposed to be the responsible party here. Now for the questionable items; two Erté sculptures were delivered in a box wrapped with bath towels only and not secured which caused the pieces to rub against each other and ruined the finish. Art Brokerage was gracious enough to give me options for keeping or repairing them and we declined their offers. Not a single cent was charged to us and the pieces were sent back without a glitch.
Granted there will always be an issue with shipping & handling and deliveries with any company but Art Brokerage has helped every step of the way to offer to contact the original artist or help put a claim in for repair.
Our most recent piece arrived yesterday, in excellent condition and can not wait to hang it with the rest of the Super Friends!!!
Looking forward to adding more art to our growing collection through Art Brokerage!

This was my first experience with artbrokerage.com and it won't be my last. I worked with Donna Rose, who was extremely responsive and consistently communicated clearly and in a timely manner. The entire transaction was seamless. No complaints whatsoever.

I had a very good experience with Ms. Robbie Reddy. She was very nice. Communication was great and timely. She always got back to me within 24 hours which I really appreciated. The painting is lovely and I would buy from Art Brokerage again.
Thank you!

This was my second or third purchase from them. The preceding transaction were great! This last transaction was not.

The piece was large, 48”X48”. It was listed as in excellent condition as my previous ones were also. The shipment was three to five days delivery but took 13 days, no problem.

My prior experience with Art Galleries is they would order the appropriate size art shipping box. This shipping box was a “pieced and taped together” Home Depot box. Ok as long as the art is not harmed, fine.

The art was wrapped in a large plastic bag. Upon opening there were three very noticeable scuffs marks and one line six inches long trailing from the side to the exterior. I was not happy as this was to be a gift

I sent photos of the shipping box and the damage to the painting to Robbie. She responded quickly and offered to find someone locally to repair it.

My issue is the painting was to be in excellent condition, wasn’t. I asked for compensation for my inconvenience and received no answer on my request. I also mentioned returning it but was directed to repair it.

The damage has been repaired. It would have been “very nice” to have received some financial reimbursement from the seller for all my time invested plus my disappointment. The seller should have inspected the painting before it shipped. There was no way this damaged was done during transit. The internal packaging was clean, no paint marks.

Working with Art Brokerage has been a wonderful experience from initial contact with Helen Tu through the delivery of my artwork. An absolute A++++ transaction! Thank you Helen and everyone at Art Brokerage involved in the process.

After losing a piece of art in a fire, I was searching for a replacement and found that Art Brokerage was the only place that had it—though it would, of course, be a different number in the limited edition series of 250. At first, I was apprehensive about the process, but as communication evolved and continued, I felt more comfortable and confident that Art Brokerage is a professional and legitimate business. Helen Tu was responsive, helpful, and made the entire artwork purchase seamless. I highly recommend their services.

I recently purchased an original painting through ArtBrokerage.com. I recommend them in the highest. They are honest, caring, intelligent and informed. They are available and personal, and they show their care in action. One can never guarantee there will be no complications in a transaction, but I can indeed guarantee that ArtBrokerage is qualified, competent, and eager to make things as good as they possibly can be.

When one is using a brokerage service, there are several qualities that go into what makes an outstanding broker. In this case, the broker is dealing with the buying and selling of art, anywhere from $1,500 all the way up to the tens of thousands of dollars.

First off, the broker needs to have integrity and earned trust. They need a track record of transactions in which they've filled the needs of both the sellers and the buyers. ArtBrokerage's track record demonstrates this history. Secondly, they need to have knowledge of their craft, understanding both the artworks themselves but also the means by which these treasures can be transported from one place to another....and ArtBrokerage has this as well.

But most importantly, a great broker needs to have a skillset that involves the inevitable hiccup or snafu. After all, we're dealing with transportation systems that occasionally lose things, damage things, or face emergency situations of their own. How does the broker handle it when something goes wrong? This is the place where a great brokerage shines, and ArtBrokerage certainly showed me great creativity, skill, and compassion in my transaction.

This is the core of my review of ArtBrokerage: how they handled a situation that faced many challenges from the time my painting was shipped until I received it. My broker was caring and present as they explained the challenge that had arisen. They had a handle on what was occurring and their communication was clear, detailed, and supportive. They laid out a plan of action and promised to keep me current as the days passed.

Imagine yourself in that situation and then having someone who was your ally working on your behalf. As the buyer in the situation I was worried that the painting I desired would not arrive and I was assured that my money was safe as the painting was fully insured. I found myself very grateful that they'd set things up the way they had and kept my funds in a neutral place until I received the painting. I have no doubt that the seller was impatient to be paid, but my broker stood firm and insisted that their quick action, coupled with allowing time for delivery, was the remedy to the complications that had arisen and we just needed to wait.

Imagine being the seller: how easy it would be to imagine that ArtBrokerage was trying to steal from you...but that's a silly worry, really, since the brokerage never ever takes possession of the items, but simply facilitates the transaction. I can attest to how my broker consistently mentioned a heart for the seller and made sure to check with me so that the seller's funds could be released at the earliest possible time.

Perhaps my situation might even be the other side of a recent review which was, shall we say, less than charitable and certainly conveyed less than 1% of the needed information to make a good decision about whether or not to use ArtBrokerage's services.

I give full marks, a hearty "well done", and my heartfelt thank you!

My experience with Art Brokerage has exceeded my expectations. I worked with Robbie, who guided me through the steps seamlessly to purchase a BEAUTIFUL, In excellent condition, Ron Burns Original. Robbie negotiated with the seller when I made an offer. ALL communications were prompt, and I would wake up in the morning and, surprisingly, had received updated replies from the company. The handoff of the artwork was amazingly easy. It turns out that the seller lived just 5 minutes from my home, so no shipping was required and no extra fees for insurance. I didn't know the seller until we met, and I now feel like I have a new canine devotee friend in the neighborhood. I paid a fair price, and the service was superlative. Thank you Thank you Thank you.

I had an excellent experience with Art Brokerage & specifically Robbie Reddy who was the woman who brokered my purchase. Robbie was super professional and friendly. She professionally brokered the sale for a fabulour piece of art I spotted on their website. When I submitted an offer, she was quick to respond to me, & quick to present it to the owner. When the offer was accepted, she advised me immediately of this as well as provided clear instructions for the final necessary steps in order to have the painting shipped. The whole transaction was completed in a short amount of time. And my art was carefully & thickly bubble-wrapped and then boxed in multiple layers of cardboard all within another large shipping box to prevent any damage. I'm very happy with the whole experience!

Working with Leonard Panar and the entire team at Art Brokerage to list and sell original artworks has been an excellent experience. Their knowledge of the market is unparalleled and all communications have been professional and timely. Their daily marketing campaigns get the artworks in front of collectors and matching the right collector with a painting has been hugely rewarding. Buying and selling on the secondary art market, as opposed to a gallery, requires a brokerage that can be trusted on all levels. I trust Art Brokerage and especially Leonard, with the sale of my precious artworks and were I in the market to acquire a piece, I would definitely purchase through Art Brokerage.

Working with Robbie and ArtBrokerage.com made my painting transaction seamless and stress-free. Their expertise in communication and negotiation ensured a smooth process from listing to sale. Highly recommend this site! - J.S.

My first experience with Art Brokerage left me with questions about the value of the art that we wanted to list. I researched several avenues to sell some of our art, including art galleries and Ebay. After a thorough evaluation, I realized that Art Brokerage was honest and an outlet that I could trust to sell art through. Each interaction with the company has been pleasant and factual. I would recommend them if you have art that you want to sell. Donna (CEO) is particularly knowledgeable in this industry and is a pleasure to work with.

Wow What an answer from this disgusting company
They say they do not deserve a BAD REVIEW because
I disagree with their pricing policy??? Well how abut the fact that the owner Donna Rose made a comment "Deal with this As_Hole" because I simply pointed out
as a very advanced collector and spouse of a former gallery owner that I was offered 2x the price she agreed to list the piece for??? How about the fact that she, Donna Rose made such a disgusting and libelous comment for a reason that multiple other pieces by the same artist by inferior athletes were listed for thousands more than what she wanted to list my piece for??? How about the fact that when I attempted to cancel my other listed piece and told her to stop sending me solicitations on 4 separate
occasions and had to file a BBB complaint she didnt do it and made excuses until she was threatened
legally??? Then she has the nerve to say I didnt have the right to post a bad review??? Wow!!!!!
Run as fast as you can and stay away from this company If I could give negative 10 stars I would

To whom it may concern, I just adquiere my first painting and I would highly recommend Art Brokerage to anyone, they are both professional and responsable.
I had no previous experience buying art and Robbie was great to work with.
Communication was excellent, packing was above expected and most important TRUST.
If like me, this is your first time buying art, here you’ll find people you can trust. Service was excellent.

Terrible customer service
Only thing they wanted was to sell the art at a lower price to get it sold no regard for the quality or value of the art or artist.
They called me rude and told me I was not very nice.
All I said was I’m unwilling to sell my art for less than it’s worth.

Given the CEO’s reply you called me rude and disrespectful, great way to treat customers, not a company I will do business with after being treated in such a manner!!!

Fantastic. That sums it up in one word. But to be more specific, I sell art through Art Brokerage for a gentleman that was a major art dealer for many years, but is now retired. All of my interactions with Donna have been stellar. She is truly concerned with assisting me in this process, she goes above and beyond to make sure all of our needs are met. She, and all of the brokers have taken a monumental task and made it simple and painless. Their personal interaction, fantastic software, and quick response have made this project an enjoyable one. I can't say enough for their professionalism and concern for both buyers and sellers. Refreshing in this day and age!

I have utilized Art Brokerage for purchasing three sought after pieces and can't say enough good things about them and especially Robbie Reddy in assisting me. Robbie has been instrumental in negotiating a very fair price on behalf of both buyer and seller and has gone above and beyond to make the process from purchase, shipping to receiving very smooth. Communicaton is key to feeling comfortable when purchasing online- Robbie is amazing. She responds timely, thoroughly and provides the information necessary to ensure your questions are answered. Her follow through is spot on. I have been very, very pleased with my interactions with Art Brokerage and look forward to adding to my art collection in the future with Robbie's assistance.

So, how do we sing your praises? We have been selling art thru art brokerage for the last fifteen years. We have had the opportunity to work with Donna and many of the brokers, especially, Helen, Leonard and Jennifer, they are acutely aware of today's art markets and market pricing. They are very experienced true professionals and always honest with you and although we don’t always agree, we are always treated with courtesy and respect. We have had many seamless transaction and are always paid promptly. We have much appreciation for the work they do 24/7/365 although it is not always easy. We have been in the art business for a very long time, in fact we worked with Lenord, back in the day, when we owned a brick and mortar gallery and he was the representative and publisher for Itzchak Tarkay. The one thing that we have learned is “You can please all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time bun not all of the people all of the time”
Our best to all of you,
J&S

I just wanted to give shout out to Donna Rose. I really appreciate her professionalism and knowledge on helping me post many of my pieces in my art collection. Really appreciate her helping me price things appropriately, so my art has the best chance to sell. Thanks!
