LOCAL BUSINESS
The Ferrell Group
Jimmy has closed 725 deals totaling $1.2 billion. Worked through boom markets, downturns, and everything in between. And the biggest lesson is this:
Experience is the difference between calm and chaos, clarity and confusion, money left on the table and money protected.
Yet the old fee structure treats every agent the same — regardless of experience.
That’s not fair to sellers. And it doesn’t reflect reality.
Investors see ANOTHER return from Masterworks (!!!!)
That’s 5 sales in 4 months. 28 all time. And the performance?
14.6%, 17.6%, and 17.8%, net annualized returns on sold works held longer than one year (See all 28 at Masterworks.com).
It’s not from stocks, private equity, or real estate… it’s from contemporary and post war art. Crazy, right?
With Masterworks, you don’t need to be a BILLIONAIRE to invest in multi-million dollar art anymore.
Historically, the segment overall has had attractive appreciation and low correlation to stocks.*
Masterworks targets works featuring legends like Banksy, Basquiat, and Picasso, identifying what they believe to have significant long-term appreciation potential, not just at the artist level but at the level of individual artworks.
As one of the largest players in the art market, with $1.3 billion invested over 500 artworks, they pass critical advantages through to their 70,000+ members to add art to their portfolios strategically.
