I have been to a few New Beginnings Estate Sales and they are always very well organized. Bridgette and her team are welcoming, friendly and always willing to help and answer questions.

Bridget and the New Beginnings team promote a positive environment at all of their sales. They are helpful and very friendly. Their sales consistently offer high end goods with reasonable prices. This combination places them at the top of all estate sale companies in the St Louis region.

I have attended several New Beginnings Estate Sales and have been completely impressed with their team and the professionalism of their sales events. From marketing to parking everything runs smoothly. Security, traffic flow, pricing, merchandise presentation, checkout etc. are all carefully executed. I would recommend New Beginnings to anyone planning an Estate sale.

I was so impressed by New Beginnings Auctions/Estate Sales. I recently attended a "downsizing sale" with very high-end, expensive and NIB items. The staff and owners were friendly, extremely helpful, patient and well-informed. They maintained the perfect balance of keeping the buyers happy and moving through the inventory while respecting the seller's home and beloved possessions. The sale was extremely well-organized and items were attractively merchandised. The photographs shown on the estate sale website accurately depicted the merchandise in a very attractive and marketable way (much like an Instagram or retail ad). The photographs were not misleading as to the specifications and/or the condition of the items (like a couple of estate sale companies I have encountered where you drag yourself to the sale to find damaged junk or buy online and then get something completely different than you bargained for on pickup). Prices were reasonable and well-marked. Space was limited with only the lower level and garage available for showcasing many, many possessions and security had to be maintained (they had a very smart process for ensuring items were paid for before taken by the would-be purchaser). If I were to have an estate sale or downsizing sale, I would absolutely trust this company in my home, with my "treasures" and to make the most of my estate sale for both myself and buyers. I can't wait to go to their next sale as their professionalism rises so far above the majority of estate sale companies I have encountered, it is a joy to look forward to seeing them all again.

We downsized after 15 years in our home. We needed to have an estate sale but didn’t know where to start. I found a few companies via an on-line service. Asked all of them for 3 referrals, copies of their contracts and a visit to our home to assess. Bridget from New Beginnings stood out from the start. She was responsive, knowledgeable, patient, understanding and her references had nothing but good things to say. Experienced and Capable - Their experience in the estate sale industry was apparent. Bridget and her team started organizing, staging and pricing a few days before the sale. They were respectful of our space and time. They worked around the packers and movers. And they put out no parking signs in front of all our neighbors houses. They transformed our house into a home store in just a couple of days. Great Advertising - The advertising New Beginnings did paid off. They also have a large following. The morning of the first day was amazing. We had people lining up at 6:00 am for an 8:00 am start! The response and showing was incredible. We left the house and let Bridget and her team take care of everything. No Damage - One of my biggest worries was the potential for damage when large furniture pieces were moved out. She assured me everything would be ok. On the off chance that something happened, they would fix it. Nothing was damaged. Payment! - During the sale Bridget kept me informed of gross proceeds each day and provided an itemized list of everything sold. The check came in the mail just a few days after the sale. Honestly, it was more than I was expecting. One lesson learned… Don’t throw away or donate the small stuff, that brings in A LOT! Choosing Bridget and New Beginnings was a great decision. She made a tough and emotional time a little bit better. Thank you New Beginnings!

Dear Bridgette and New Beginnings Estate Sales, My family and I cannot thank you enough for the incredible job you did for us in running the estate sale for my parents’ home. The professionalism, hard work and expert pricing from you and your entire team were top notch. I never would have guessed that sale would have netted that much money. Your fees were a bargain for all the work that was required to sift through years of boxes. We interviewed several estate sale companies and New Beginnings Estate Sales was by far the most professional and thorough company. Beyond your excellent skills, your heart and passion for helping families like ours was apparent from the moment we met you during the evaluation interview. To anyone considering an estate sale company, feel free to check with other companies but I’m confident you’ll be best served by New Beginnings Estate Sales. At the beginning of the process, you’ll feel overwhelmed and unsure. By the time the sale opens (a day earlier than other estate sale companies), you’ll be excited at the staging and positive shopping environment the staff work so hard to create. To anyone looking for a great resource for shopping estate sales, follow New Beginnings’ website. You’ll find photos showing what is available at each sale. The addresses are posted a day ahead so you can map out your destination. Plan to arrive early and take a number (much better than standing outside in the rain or cold) because people arrive early. It’s clear that the word is out because New Beginnings’ has a significant following. Experienced estate sale shoppers travel from all over St Louis and St Charles County to shop these sales. Thank you again for helping to make an overwhelming task so much easier and actually a pleasant experience! I’m already recommending you to all my friends who are considering an estate sale for their parents or their own shopping needs. Sincerely, Dave B

When I called Bridgette I told her that it was a last minute sale because I had to be out by the end of March. She set up an appointment with me for a couple of days later and said that she only had the days of the 25,26 and 27 available. The Tuesday morning she was to come to my house a man called who did not identify himself other than to say he was calling for Bridgette, said she was not feeling well and would have to reschedule. He also told me she could not do the sale until early April. I told him that she knew I had to close on my house at the end of March and that would not work. This left me in a terrible bind because of the days wasted when I could have found someone reliable. It worked out that I did in fact find someone reliable and I will not be calling New Beginnings again for any services. NOT RELIABLE

HI [Member Name Removed], I am sorry you feel that way. It is a first come first serve basis for sale dates. I had also had a few more appointments before yours. I had one of my staff call, because i didn't have a voice that day and i was very ill. I do appologize if it put you in a bind by not being available on those sale dates, Another family with a prior appointment had chosen those dates first. If there is anything i can do or you have any questions feel free to email me newbeginningsestatesales@gmail.com Thank you, New Beginnings Estate Sales, LLC

It didn't.
Description of Work: Nothing. I spoke with Bridgette over the phone and set up an appointment for her to come over on March 8 at 11:30. I told her at the time of our conversation I had sold my home and was closing at the end of the month. She said the only time she could conduct the sale would be the last of March which was fine with me. Then 2 hrs. before she was due to be atmy home she had a gentlemen call and say she would need to reschedule for Thursday because she wasn't feeling well. I said that was fine, however, since it is getting so late should I check into another service? At that point he said the only dates she could conduct the sale was April 1. I told him that she knew I had to be out of my house by the end of March. This left me in a real bind to hurry to find another estate company. BE CAREFUL with this one! All fluff and no substance.

I frequently shop at New Beginnings Estate Sales on a regular basis. They are always honest with the customers and with the home owners. Their prices are usually half of retail. They are very honest, hard workers and treat everyone they deal with, with respect. They work very hard to make everyone have a good experience.

Description of Work: The sale was much busier than we ever expected (well over 1,000 people over the 3 days). If anyone has a need or knows anyone who may be moving in the future, or simply wants to clean out their closets, I could not recommend them highly enough. From a homeowners perspective, we simply made "piles" of things we wanted to sell and then Bridgett and her team did a complete management of our sale from organizing and staging the items to pricing and managing the sale for us. At he end of every day, she furnished us a written line item listing of each item sold with it's price. At the end of the sale, any remaining items (very few) were put into boxes for us and they even contact donation centers and arrange pick-up for us. All in all, we couldn't have asked for more.

Description of Work: I had only 3 weeks to make the move and had to find a company in a hurry. New Beginnings responded immediately. They reviewed, priced and staged all items. They advertised the sale and contacted prospective buyers. They conducted the sale over a weekend, helped buyers pack and move items, cleaned up afterward. I was pleased with the whole process.

Our sale was outstanding!! We had decided that we would leave while the sale was going on. We were afraid it would be too tramatic to watch all the things we were selling go out the door and we would get in the way of her team conducting the sale. We were only a phone call away if they needed to talk to us. That was one of the best decisions we made. At the end of the sale Bridgette gave us an itemized list of every item that sold and what it sold for. Most of the items sold for more than they would have at auction. She also took care of all the money. About 3 days after the sale when all the money was counted and sales finialized she brought us a single check for our proceeds. Because of Bridgette's and her teaam's expertise and experience we made more money than we expected. I am so happy we let them handle everything without us. There was no hassle or trauma for us. We also had alot of fun. Everyone was so friendly and had a great sense of humor. We laughed at some of what we were selling and cried over others. We teased each other and in the end we felt we not only had a great sale but made some new friends. if you want a profitable and enjoyable experience with a professional fun team hire New Beginnings Estate Sales, LLC. I can't recommend them highly enough.
Description of Work: Bridgette came to our house explained everything about the services her company performed and the cost. The percentage she charged was much less than the autioneers we talked to wanted. Bridgette was very easy to talk to. She was very flexible in allowing us to pick a mix of her services that fit our specific situation. At this initial meeting Bridgette explained how everything would be handled including what to do about the things we were not selling but leaving in the house. Bridgette and her team came in staged everything and priced it all.Bridgette even had an appraiser come in and value items she did not have expertise in. She did this without it costing us anything extra. It looked like a high end botique. They handled everything including negotiating prices and collecting all payments. Bridgette even had men on hand to help customers load heavy items. The entire team did a very professional job.

Description of Work: They did not keep us informed of the progress of the sale on the first day. Neither my husband or I were able to sit at the collection table with them and at the end of the first day they went home with all the receipts and the money. We really do not know how we did. We feel that they needed to be more forthright with their clients. We would not use them again.

Bridgette and her crew were fabulous and provided all the necessary assistance to ensure we had an amazing estate sale. They did the advertising, display set-up, pricing and sales transactions and even provided assistance to customers needing items ca rried and loaded during the event. We couldn't have asked for a better group of people to do our sale. It was a refreshing experience to see a group of young people so motivated to do a great job and provide excellent customer service. We highly recommend New Beginnings Estate Sales, LLC and give them an A+ rating!
