Active in antiques and collecting for over four decades, Linda Hiatt is passionate about her industry. She has experience in the automotive accounting and management world and acquired the best training from General Motors.
In the beginning, Collectorpro was the invention that satisfied the need of cataloging her weekend estate and yard sale obsession. When she was unable to locate a product to assist her with cataloging her collections, she turned to her highly technical partner and spouse, Brian, who wrote software for her. Recognizing not only the benefits to her, but the opportunity to help other collectors as well, she and Brian decided in 1992 to place an ad in Maine Antique Digest. Capitalizing on Brian’s internet expertise, they placed Collectorpro on the web and began the marketing process.
Collectorpro quickly grew into a satisfying, successful business that enables collectors throughout the world to store images, history, and values. Collectorpro has been reviewed in National publications several times and featured on television programs.
Involved not only with collectors, Collectorpro’s other clients include Personal Property Appraisers for ISA, ASA, and AAA organizations, art and auction galleries, museums, and artists worldwide. Longtime art admirer Linda says, “The contributions to scholarships within our industries are keys to our success and the future of art for us all.”
Currently the CEO of Collectorpro Software, Inc. 27 years later, Linda co-leads the sales, marketing, financial, and product development with Brian and Eren, who is Collectorpro’s Business Development Manager.
