About Roger Howard

With three decades of experience as an antique dealer behind him, Roger Howard has a solid reputation for honesty, integrity and dependability. He is the former owner of River Oaks Antiques Center, at that time, one of Houston's largest and most respected antique businesses.

In 1998, Mr. Howard became a member of the International Society of Appraisers and began channeling his knowledge and expertise into the business of conducting estate sales and appraisals. Today he and his staff of professionals provide a comprehensive list of related services to private individuals, law firms, banks, and trust and estate professionals.

Roger Howard's specialty is fine antiques, decorative arts and collectibles—both American and European. However, he is also skilled in the evaluation and liquidation of all kinds of personal property—everything from jewelry and fine art to household appliances and automobiles.
