Fred at Laguna Beach Estate Sales was absolutely outstanding in helping my mother downsize from her longtime 4,240 sf home In Newport Beach. She had to part with furniture and decorative items she had lovingly collected over the last 50 years, and Fred made a potentially emotional process smooth and manageable.
From the start, Fred was professional, honest, and positive. He laid out a clear plan, communicated consistently, and followed through every step of the way. He was patient and kind, helping my mother understand the current marketplace and making her feel comfortable letting go of the things she couldn't take with her.
Fred has a fantastic network—including auction houses and movers on standby—and multiple channels to sell everything from art to everyday items. He also knows how to work with discerning buyers, standing his ground when needed and negotiating when it made sense. His experience and strategy ensured that items were priced appropriately and presented well.
What could have been a difficult and overwhelming process was handled with care, skill, and integrity. I can’t recommend Fred and Laguna Beach Estate Sales highly enough!

We met Fred Stegmann of Laguna Beach Estate Sales through a referral. We needed someone to come to our mother's house in San Clemente to tell us what to do with the contents. Fred took so much time with us and told us exactly what to do. He referred us to a precious metals assessor who was meticulous, honest, and wonderful. Fred then arranged with a professional service to have the remaining contents of the home boxed and taken away..the company he referred was just outstanding. They worked fast and were amazing. These are very hard times, when parents pass and to have someone like Fred, who is so honest and has such trustworthy contacts is just a godsend. Thank you Fred for all that you did!

Fred of Laguna Beach Estate Sales is highly recommended! We were so overwhelmed after my mom's passing last month, we didn't know where to start. She left a big house full of 98 years of treasures and trash. My cousins used Fred last year to clear their parents' home and sang his praises. I join the chorus. Although my mom's homeowners' association does not allow estate sales, Fred suggested several creative options to help sell, donate and dispose of the household items. Fred is professional, compassionate, respectful, honest, generous and his referrals were the same. We could not have cleared the house without him. Thank you, Fred!
