Method
According to Passion Asset Advisory, we advise across six asset classes: jets, yachts, art, watches, bags, and cars. We work through mandates and alongside your wealth manager, never in place of it.
The sequence
Start with the consultation form or a direct introduction. Tell us whether you need an acquisition, sale, independent counsel, or partner desk. Share as much or as little detail as you have at this stage.
A direct conversation, not a sales call. We define the objective, the parameters that matter, the budget logic, the timeline, and what must stay confidential. If we are not the right office for the mandate, we say so here.
Before anyone is approached: comparable transactions, current visible inventory, and realistic pricing for the asset in question. The mandate proceeds on evidence, not enthusiasm.
The right asset-class specialists examine ownership, condition, documentation, provenance, and market logic. Verification prevents many bad transactions. We treat it as the core of the service, not a formality.
Buyers receive a shortlist of verified candidates with the evidence attached. Sellers receive a valuation range, the supporting comparables, and a recommended channel strategy: private, public, or staged.
The office negotiates on your behalf. Your identity, motivations, and constraints stay out of the conversation until you decide otherwise. You see terms and recommendations; the pressure stays on our side of the table.
Contracts, escrow, inspections, registration, insurance, and logistics: sequenced so nothing stalls, nothing is skipped, and both sides arrive at completion without surprises.
Most clients return: the next acquisition, an eventual sale, a collection that evolves. The office holds the history, so every subsequent mandate starts further ahead.
Between transactions, the advisory practice keeps holdings reviewed
Two directions
Every mandate includes verification, negotiation, and completion. The middle stages differ. Buyers receive a verified shortlist with evidence. Sellers receive a grounded valuation and selective approaches to qualified buyers. Advisory is the exception. It uses a flat fee, answers a defined question, and does not require a transaction.
If you are buying
If you are selling
If you want counsel, not a transaction
We publish the deal-based commission openly. Buyers pay a success commission on acquisition mandates. Sellers pay on sales and consignments. The schedule is at the strong end of the market because it funds verification, off-market access, and negotiation intended to improve the outcome.
| Category | Buy mandate | Sell mandate / consignment |
|---|---|---|
| Private jets | 2–3% of purchase | 4–5% of sale |
| Superyachts | 3–5% of purchase | 10% of sale, MYBA-style; negotiable above $25M |
| Art | 10–15% of acquisition | 10–15% on private sales |
| Luxury watches | 10–15% sourcing fee | 15–20% consignment |
| Luxury bags | 10–15% sourcing fee | 20–25% consignment |
| Collector & luxury cars | 5–10% of purchase | 10–15% of sale; negotiable above $5M |
Minimum engagement fees apply on smaller mandates; advisory work is billed separately as flat fees. Every number is confirmed in the engagement letter before work begins: success-based, so we are paid when you close well, not for trying.
It depends on rarity: liquid assets in clean condition often complete within weeks; allocation-constrained watches, off-market aircraft, or specific Hermès combinations can take months. The consultation sets an honest timeline before the mandate begins. We would rather quote slow and deliver early than the reverse.
In Main Point Karlín (Karlín's award-winning business center) at Pobřežní 620/3, Prague 8, ten minutes from Prague's old town. Meetings are by appointment, in Prague or wherever the asset and the client are; mandates are executed worldwide under the same confidentiality discipline.
Buyers pay a success-based commission of 2–10% on acquisition mandates. Sellers pay 3–20% on sales and consignments, depending on the category. The full schedule appears above and is confirmed in the engagement letter before work begins. Advisory uses a flat fee because it does not depend on a transaction. We accept no undisclosed payments.
Yes. Mandates define their own term and exit terms up front; you can wind one down at the agreed notice without penalty beyond work already performed. An office that needs to trap clients in contracts is telling you something about how it expects the relationship to go.
Begin privately
Define the mandate with us. If we can serve it well, we will tell you exactly how. If we cannot, we will tell you that too.
