Our Estate Referral Program rewards professionals — including advisors, real estate agents, and fiduciaries — with 10% of the purchase price when you refer clients to Newel and a deal is completed. Every referral also receives a free valuation to help determine the best course of action.
We don’t just auction. We provide three distinct ways to help your clients achieve maximum value:

Transparent, competitive process through Newel Auctions, maximizing results for significant pieces or full estates.
With more than eight decades of expertise, we bring discretion, scholarship, and strategy to every collection we handle. This isn’t liquidation — it’s legacy stewardship, designed to reward both your trust and your referrals.
Your items, whether they are antiques, art, fashion, memorabilia, or jewelry, are securely stored in our state-of-the-art facility.
We showcase your items on leading platforms such as 1stdibs, Incollect, Chairish, Artsy, and Artnet, exposing your collection to millions of potential buyers.
We professionally catalog your pieces, making them available for both sale and rental on Newel.com and NewelProps.com.
Earn passive income by renting out your items to movies, TV shows, photoshoots, staging, and events. There’s no cap on rental income, allowing you to generate substantial earnings while waiting for the right moment to sell.
Your consigned items are fully insured, giving you peace of mind knowing they are protected while in our care.
You can choose to have your items returned at any time or continue to benefit from the rental program. If you decide that it’s time to sell, we can seamlessly transition your items into our auction platform, providing you with the flexibility to achieve the best possible returns.
