Tapestry Associates

What Tapestry Associates does

Tapestry Associates is a Seattle-based boutique advisory firm founded in 2010 that provides non-financial asset stewardship services to ultra-high net worth individuals and families. The firm positions itself as serving "the other side of the family office," focusing on assets such as real estate, art, land vehicles, yachts, and aircraft that are often managed less rigorously than clients' financial holdings. Its service platform is organized around four interconnected lifecycle stages: Acquisition (property identification, broker selection, due diligence, closing assistance), Enhancement (renovation project management, design oversight, contractor selection), Operations (estate staffing, standard operating procedures, financial performance analysis, private event production), and Divestiture (sale/lease transition management, relocation coordination, inventory disposition).

The firm operates with a small team of six named senior professionals led by founders Anne Lyons (Founder & Strategic Advisor) and Judy Boerner-Rule (President & CEO), with additional managing directors covering Placement & Family Services, Enhancement, and a Maritime Program. The business is privately held, founder-led, with no disclosed external institutional investors or parent company. Pricing is custom and quote-based, with engagements available as full-time annual retainers or project-specific scopes, billed under multi-year arrangements. The go-to-market motion is consultative and principal-to-principal, relying on direct relationships and reputation within the UHNW community rather than digital marketing or third-party distribution channels. The firm markets itself on discretion, a global network of vetted specialists, anytime principal access, and quarterly/annual reporting.

No technology platform, proprietary software, AI capabilities, or app products are disclosed. Marketing and distribution operate through a single professional website and direct outreach, with no public social media presence, no published customer logos, and no documented partnerships or alliances.

Core offering

Tapestry Associates provides comprehensive advisory and asset stewardship services to ultra-high net worth individuals and families, focused exclusively on the management of non-financial assets (real estate, art, land vehicles, yachts, aircraft). Services are organized around the property ownership lifecycle across four pillars: Acquisition, Enhancement, Operations, and Divestiture, and may be retained on a full-time annual basis or for specific projects, assets, or events.

Product overview

Tapestry Associates offers a unified advisory service platform for ultra-high net worth clients focused on managing non-financial assets throughout their lifecycle. The service portfolio is organized around the property ownership lifecycle as four interconnected core service areas: Acquisition Services (property identification and purchase support), Enhancement Services (renovation and property improvement management), Operations Services (ongoing estate management and event production), and Divestiture Services (property sale and transition management). The company may be engaged on a full-time annual basis or for specific project-based services.
