TESTIMONIALS

Making the decision to leave a home after 17 years was one of the most difficult things I have ever had to deal with. The hardest part of that decision was saying good bye to a lifetime of possessions that did not have a place in my new home. My realtor gave me several ideas on how to handle the estate. I spoke to several companies about my situation and my home. One company stood out above the others. A brief interview and two walks through the house and the decision was made to use Bridgette Miller and New Beginnings Estate Sales.

I had many questions and concerns as we ramped up to the sale. Bridgette was there to answer every question and address every concern. I removed the possessions I decided to keep and turned the house over to Bridgette and her team. The amount of time and preparation they put into the sale is unimaginable. The research and organization of the sale were beyond expectations. At all times, I feel New Beginnings was acting in my best interest. Departing with possessions collected over a lifetime was difficult and unsettling. Bridgette recognized and understood the situation and did everything possible to make the process as easy and as painless as possible. At every step of the process, I was consulted, coached and assured. I am grateful for their integrity, honesty and respect. They delivered on every aspect of the sale.

It is without reservation that I make this endorsement. If you are in need of their services, I highly recommend them.

"You should use New Beginnings for your estate sale! 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!"

"Just amazing! Extremely efficient and they get the job done. I was completely impressed with everything. I had never been nor had an estate sale before, so I was a little overwhelmed. Bridgette put me at ease and is on it with everything. Communication was very good. Everyone from her mom Laurie to Kelly and everyone that help pull off what I consider a miracle. At the end, the house was cleared and left organized. I would absolutely recommend New Beginnings Estate Sales. Wish I was still living in the STL so I could go to one of there sales." Dawn Lindley

"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

"New Beginnings Estate Sales is absolutely amazing!!!! Bridgette, the owner, and her team went above and beyond in the sale they did for us when we moved across the country. They have very detailed knowledge of how to price items and research everything. The sale ran for 3 days and they took care of every aspect. We were so impressed and have recommended them to our realtor and anyone we know who is thinking about a sale. I can't say enough about how pleased we were with the outcome and getting to know them personally. Wonderful people!!"

Kay Garrison

"My wife and I were faced with moving both house and business. We tried in vain to sell excess inventory for the business and downsize for the house but it turned out to be an exercise in frustration. We needed help in moving this mountain. New Beginnings turned out to be the ideal answer. Bridgette has honed her skills to a fine art. She turned our office space into a little shop, organized all the inventory into neat bins of merchandise and sold 100% of the furnishings. People were waiting for the doors to open on the morning of the sale. The house estate sale was just as much of a success, selling well over 95% of items on offer. The remaining bits went to our favorite charities. We can see clearly why she has such raving reviews. This has allowed us to move forward in life. We will never forget her generosity and kindness. Our sincere hope is that her business continues to prosper beyond her dreams."

Bruce & Theresa

"Bridgette and her professional crew do it again and again. Really appreciate the service and the fair market value sales that are given. Bridgette makes a full accountability of all items and their value and makes a fair sale for her customers (both seller and buyer). I highly recommend visiting a New Beginnings Estate Sale to see for yourself. A+ 5* Thanks!"

Art De Villar

"As we were planning to move out of state, our realtor suggested we have an estate sale. We really didn’t know anything about estate sales, but trusted our realtor’s advice. She said New Beginnings has a good reputation - and after a meeting with Bridgette (the owner), we agreed to a sale. We were impressed with the marketing that they do and the loyal following they have. Bridgette said there would be a line of people waiting to get in on the first day of the sale, and she delivered! We had a very successful three-day sale, liquidating nearly all our items - and what didn’t sell, Bridgette and her team took care of loading up and taking to charity for us. It truly was a pleasure working with Bridgette and her outstanding team at New Beginnings. They are hard workers, know their business, are very well organized and truly a joy to be around. Even under busy, stressful conditions, Bridgette remained pleasant and cheerful - fun to be around. We are grateful we selected New Beginnings to assist us with our move, and you will too!"

Diane McKillip

This is a great company with professional employees. From the ownership to its employees all perform an unbelievable job with our Estate sale. They were prompt, courteous, professional in all phases of the 3 day sale. I would highly recommend this company for any Estate Sale. We were very impressed and they all knew the market price on all goods. Very happy."

Jim & Donna

“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.”

Matthew Liesenfeld

" New Beginnings is a great company to use. When you start working with Bridgette and Laurie and everyone else, you will know they have lots of experience. They know the best prices that will increase the likelihood of a sale. We just completed our estate sale. So I speak from experience that you can trust New Beginnings. You will be happy that you used them."

“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.” Ron Howdeshell

" It has been wonderful to have this company help me with the Estate Sale. All employees have been very professional, and helped me in many ways. The owner has been great to work with, she is very professional, very likable and again, made me feel very relaxed, and I never worried about anything during this experience. I recommend this company, and whoever chooses this company, will definitely be glad they did!" Yvonne Thornley

"I can't say enough how pleased I am with the result of an estate sale by New Beginnings. I wasn't sure if I had enough to have one so was considering donation since I was moving out of state. I had a lot of furniture and antiques so my realtor suggested looking into it. New Beginnings was on a list of recommended companies so I started calling and set up a couple of appointments. After meeting with Bridgette, I cancelled the 2nd appointment and scheduled with New Beginnings on the spot. I am so glad I did! The sales far exceeded my expectations. Bridgette, Wendy and Ben took care of everything in a very professional manner. They carried a lot of heavy furniture out of my basement, called in an appraiser to price antiques, priced and staged everything, sold most everything at prices I never dreamed possible, then finally, brought someone in at the end to buy out the rest. My share of the proceeds was 3 times what I ever hoped for. The sale was well-advertised and very well attended. It was a "complete process", start to finish, and I didn't have to do anything at all! After 3 days, I had my money. Choosing New Beginnings Estate Sales was a great decision! There is not one thing that they could have improved on. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect sale. They have a very loyal following and I understand why. New Beginnings...THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, for taking the worry and stress out of my liquidation! You are the best!"

"Great experience, they did a fantastic job for us."

"After my mom passed my sister and I charged were with "What to do with her personal belongings". We were in no way emotionally able to fully deal with the task. A friend of mine told me that there were companies that would handle a sale for us. I spent hours on the Internet looking at estate sale websites, checking them against BBB and Angie's list and also if they were insured and bonded. One company passed all my checks and it was "New Beginnings Estate Sales". It only got better when I met Bridgette and her wonderful staff. Bridgette was extremely professional, and sensitive. A week before the sale she and her staff came into my moms house and literally turned it into three level boutique. Thanks to she and her marketing staff, the house was literally full of customers. I found her to be very knowledgeable about pricing due to the fact that nearly all items sold for what she priced them for. Overall New Beginnings stepped in and helped my sister and I get through necessary rough time in our lives. We will be forever thankful for having found New Beginnings."

Lynn James

"Bridgette and her team go above and beyond to ensure a great sale. We asked them to transform a dirty old warehouse into a functional space for our inventory sale and they did just that. They worked tirelessly and creatively and were able to solve many, many significant problems to ensure that we were happy. For the actual sale, Bridgette is an expert in her field with regards to pricing, understanding the value of each piece within the market etc. She and her team stage each area thoughtfully and beautifully, and they continue to stage as inventory sells (above and beyond). They work literally non-stop, with a cheerful attitude and words of encouragement and positivity. During a transition, which can be stressful, this is the team you want to work with. We highly recommend this team, and will refer them to our clients, friends, families, and complete and total strangers-they're that good."

Lime Tree Home

“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 carried 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!”

Mark Wedemeier

"Have been to MANY estate sales here and other states...but New Beginnings is one of the best I have gone too. The staff is nice and helpful... prices are always reasonable..and the owner Bridgette is a real go-getter and dedicated business owner."

Gregg Sullivan

"Bridgette and her team did a great job with my fathers estate sale. I believe they are a genuine and trustworthy company. I was impressed with all of the work they did before the sale such as organizing the house, keeping me updated, and advertising. They were also able to make more money in sales than I even thought was possible. Bridgette was always prompt to respond and was very helpful throughout the process. I would recommend this company to family, friends, and anyone else looking for a company to put on estate sale."

Emily B.

"Bridgette and New Beginnings Estate Sales was an amazing experience. She was professional, knowledgeable and friendly. She helped during a downsize and move and ran a very successful sale. The house and left overs were even cleaned up afterwards! Would absolutely use her services again and highly recommend !"

Cherl Dodson

"Fair, educated and committed team! I enjoy going to these organized sales. I have consistently been treated fairly from my purchases of large furniture to small jewelry. The reason I look online for New Beginnings is simply just because I like how I’m treated and my items are always a fair deal!!"

Karen Jennerjohn

"A great experience. I have gone to several of New Beginnings Sales and was always impressed with the operation. I then needed assistance to sell an estate and Bridgette and her crew went far beyond my expectations. Very honest and trustworthy. They turned a very difficult time in my life into a true "New Beginning". I cannot thank you enough" John Bauer

"New Beginnings did an excellent job running my estate sale. They were very professional in working, staging the sale, the appraisal and running the sale for the three days. It made having the sale a lot easier than I anticipated. They went out of their way after the sale to help clean up and get rid of any remaining items. I enjoyed working with them through the entire process."

Stephen Ibos

"New Beginnings" did an excellent job from advertising the sale, set up, pricing, sales, tear down and removal of unsold items. Bridget displayed the items on her own tables that she and her helpers set up. She had a consultant price the unusual items. She handled sales and all the negotiations that go with it. My husband and I feel we would not have made as much money as we did if we did the sale on our own. As my husband said, "New Beginnings took the stress out of the estate sale."

Cathy Graham

" I am an Etsy shop owner and buy jewelry making supplies and trinkets at estate sales to make my jewelry unique. I recently attended an estate sale held by Bridgette Miller from New Beginnings Estate Sales and was really impressed with the helpfulness, organization and friendliness of the staff. I will be sure to look out for more sales by this group! Thanks Bridgette!"

Karen Schmitz

“Bridgate & staff were great. Our estate sell for exceeded what we expected.”

Lisa Hamilton

" Super positive buying experience! Was reasonable to work with and pleasant to talk to! Thank you for the great service." September Freiling

“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.”

Holly Parks

" They have great staff that treats everyone friendly and fair. My brother and cousin worked for her and they treat everyone with respect . All the sales have everything priced and displayed professionally. It makes it easy for people to walk through and not miss anything." vaughn mashek

"My mom and I love going to NB estate sales. Prices are very fair from the first day, not the mark em up Friday half price Sunday you see at other sales (though prices do get fair-er over the week-end.)The vibe at NB sales is laid back but professional, they know the business. Owner Bridgette is super friendly and helpful. If you buy multiple items she will always give at least a little discount, so everyone is happy. I appreciate that Bridgette and her staff are respectful of the Estate owners home and belongings, everything is clean and organized and I imagine owners always get what they were promised as NB seems to sell nearly everything at every sale. I hope Bridgette gets a good laugh some day when she handles selling my estate and recognizes so many things she sold me!"

Diana burnett

"We have been to many estate sales hosted by Bridgette and her company New Beginnings Estate Sales. Bridgette, her mother, and all the staff are pleasant to interface with. All of our transactions have been great. We appreciate how they deal with us. We will continue to look for and attend estate sales administered by New Beginnings."

Dennis & Shirley Hahn

"What a pleasure to shop their estate sale!! They were very positive, helpful, and so easy to deal with. I actually felt welcome, and relaxed. Exceptionally well organized with reasonable prices."

Carina Messina

New Beginnings Estate Sales are fair and honest. My husband, Joe, and I have attended hundreds of sales over the years. Their prices are reasonable, their sales are clean (you will not be looking through piles of junk) and Bridgette and her colleagues are fair, getting a price that keeps both the buyer and the seller happy."

Lisa

"Going to New Beginnings Estate Sale was a terrific experience. I was able to purchase updated furnishings for a retreat center in North County and the employees were fantastic. I had to make three trips to be able to transport my purchases and they helped in many ways. It was great to have someone on staff with tools as I didn't anticipate purchasing and the gentleman helped take apart recliners to fit into my van. This is a great company that handled things very professionally."

"Love these ladies! They are awesome! Very organized, helpful, and friendly! Best in the business!"
