OUR PROCESS
An Estate Sale is not always an Estate Sale.
An estate might require a combination of auction house consignment, traditional by appointment estate sale, or a complete buyout depending on the contents of the estate and the needs of the family. Fred is resourceful and committed to facilitating optimum results using all means at his disposal to achieve perfection.
Marketing and Selling
There are many factors that go into determining the best way to market an estate and family collection…
Many estates include important jewelry from Tiffany and Co, Cartier, Boucheron, Bulgari, Van Cleef and Arpels, David Webb, Chopard, Graff, Chaumet, JAR, and Suzanne Belperron as well as important watches such as Rolex, Cartier, Patek Phillipe, Breguet, Vacheron Constantin, and luxury automobiles like Bentley, Rolls Royce and Mercedes Benz.
These items require knowledge, a particular skill set and relationship network in order to realize their full potential. Fred Stegmann is the only broker equipped to successfully manage these complex transactions.
