“We recently entertained the idea of having an estate sale. This was a very daunting thought as we began to think about all the work involved and the idea of all the people that would be in our house. In addition, we wondered would it be worth the efforts. The experience we had with Beacon Hill Estates Sales was beyond our expectations. Pat took over the process and we were extremely impressed and happy about how smooth things went. Pat is caring and a great partner and we would happily recommend her to those considering having an estate sale.

“Pat Augenstein was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the moment we met I knew I was in great hands. She took care of everything from soup to nuts. The days of the sale, her staff had everything under control and sold, sold, sold. I have recommended her to many friends already and will continue to do so. If you want people waiting outside your front door in a single file line waiting their turn to get inside your home to buy your household items, you need Pat on your side. She will make it happen. She will pre-sell, she will sell hard during the sale and she will try her best to sell the few items that don’t sell, days after the sale. I can’t recommend her enough.”

“The prospect of moving was daunting because of the many rooms of furniture we collected over a period of 15 years. We considered an estate sale and interviewed a few companies to help us achieve that objective. We selected Beacon Hill Estate Sales founded by Patricia Augenstein in part due to the very positive reviews we received. Patricia’s knowledge of her trade was immediately evident, we benefited from her expanded use of social media and website promotions. Also, the many satisfied followers who have remained in constant contact with Patricia over the years proved to be a real asset.

Patricia’s team provided the right counsel and important insight as to the marketable value of our furniture and managed the entire process with great professionalism. We recommend Patricia to anyone seeking “peace of mind” during a major move and an estate sale. Having the right team on your side is crucial and, Patricia’s company performs their trade with great efficiency.

Lastly a review of Beacon Hill’s services is not compete unless it includes a mention of the cleanup crew, this team assisted us throughout and was with us until the last minute to help us clear up many of the pieces we discarded.”

Thank you Patricia!

“Thank you so much for “taking charge” of our recent estate sale ………your efforts, energies and hard work made it extremely painless. The tagging, pricing, arranging and eventual sale was handled in a most professional manner and we are appreciative.

Most Sincerely,”

“What can I say about Pat and her crew?! My family is eternally grateful for finding her and enlisting her services. After our father’s passing, we found ourselves with a house full of beautiful, like new, furnishings and decor that broke our hearts to part with. Losing a loved one is a tragic and devastating experience on its own. Sorting through and letting go of personal items, even the non-sentimental ones, only adds to the sadness. Pat was referred to me indirectly in our desperate search to figure out what to do with everything. After placing basically a “cold call” to her, Pat educated me on her professional background, extensive knowledge, how her business and the process would work, and, most importantly, made me feel comfortable with her as a person. Upon meeting at my father’s empty home, Pat and I made an instant connection. She is beyond professional and KNOWS what she’s doing. My sisters and I felt fully confident placing our situation in her hands. Above all else though, and perhaps more important than the “business” aspect of our sale, Pat is simply a wonderful human being. She is compassionate, personable, kind, and has an amazing sense of humor — all things so important to maintain when handling the loss of a loved one, and life in general.

Pat offers a one-stop, no-nonsense approach to an otherwise daunting task facing a family that might not necessarily be in the proper frame of mind to deal with on their own. Pat also takes a family approach to her business, which further convinced three sisters from a tight-knit Italian family that we made the right decision hiring her.

Pat, her husband Glenn, and her “in-house” moving crew became our extended family for the time we were together. While I do not wish a similar circumstance on anyone, death and sorting through estates are a reality for every family. When it does occur,

Pat receives the highest of recommendations from my sisters and I. Not only do I respect her as a business owner, but I am now proud to call her a friend.”

“I want to thank Pat so very much for all you did to make our estate sale a huge success!! You came highly recommended by a friend of a friend, so I expected you would do a great job, but I was amazed at the result you got for me. You told me to expect to sell approximately 80% of our treasures, but you out did yourselves, and sold 95%! And you obtained prices I didn’t believe possible. Everything about the sale was above our expectations! Even the staff you brought along to help, and to move the sold items were nothing less than amazing! Your skill, expertise and professional integrity are beyond reproach.

Our move from our cherished home was made easier by the fact that we had that much less to actually move; a big issue, since my new home is much smaller than the one I sold. You removed all the worries I had about the entire process, and even made it a pleasant experience. I can’t thank you enough!”

“I was recommended to Beacon Hill Estate Sales by my realtor daughter who had only heard of positive commentary through others. We spoke on the phone with Pat and already felt that I was going to make the right decision to have Beacon Hill Estate Sales handle our large home. Pat listened to my concerns and understood what my husband and I were feeling as we expressed our doubts and emotions. She showed us empathy and guided us through the entire process. We found her to be very knowledgeable and well prepared for the task, which lasted two weekends. Pat is warm, upbeat and a positive person. She did her research well and executed what appeared to me, a monumental task. She did it an organized and orderly manner. Her team, at the end of this experience, truly felt like old friends. They could not have been nicer, more helpful and trustworthy.

It is no wonder to me that Beacon Hill is successful. Pat and her team has built a reputation that encompasses trust, knowledge, efficiency and integrity.

Thank you, Pat, for your professionalism, competence and the warm moments shared during this important time.”
