Company Information

Fredrick Carl Stegmann, Jr.

While being a native of Newport Beach, it is Fred’s international career that brings unparalleled expertise in jewelry, antiques, and fine art as well as a global network of buyers to his clients in Newport Beach, Laguna Beach and throughout Southern California. It is why he and Laguna Beach Estate Sales are the number one chosen estate sale agent and personal property broker in Southern California. In addition, more real estate firms, attorneys and family estate trustees refer Fred than anyone else.

During his international career, Fred became exposed to the world of beauty, luxury and fine art. He discovered a love for jewelry, art, antiques and objects of vertu. He frequented the world-famous Louvre des Antiquaires, was often found at the Hotel Drouot in Paris seeking special treasures for clients, and joined the La Biennale in Paris where he connected with buyers from throughout Europe and the world.

Upon returning to the United States, he began exhibiting at prestigious shows including Miami, The Modernism Shows, and Hillsborough. While exhibiting for over thirteen years at these shows, Fred became an internationally respected dealer with a network of clients, contacts and resources that spanned Europe, Asia and the United States.

For over twenty-six years, Fred has continued to develop a deep expertise in jewelry, fine art, antiques, and decorative arts. For Fred, education and learning is an ongoing joy, especially as it relates to jewelry – including GIA, and Christies Education in New York City; education continues to provide him with unmatched market knowledge and awareness. In addition, he is a graduate of UCLA in Political Science and speaks both French and German.

While Fred’s knowledge in the field in unsurpassed, it is his deep respect and care for the transitions that his clients go through that sets Laguna Beach Estate Sales apart. He understands the complexity of family dynamics with the ranges of emotion and truly knows what it is like to sell family treasures; he has done it for his own family as well. In addition, being born in and living in Newport Beach has given Fred a unique perspective and understanding of clients who value privacy, discretion, and above all else professionalism.

As a result, Fred has earned a loyal clientele and referral base. Clients include not only Southern California’s most prominent families, intellectuals and leaders of industry but also academy award winning artists. Fred’s innovative, solution-driven approach combined with a friendly, yet sophisticated boutique firm philosophy allows him to be creative in finding the right pathways and fit for customers. 

People who work with Fred cannot imagine working with anyone else and happily refer him to friends and relatives for his superior service. The numerous and highly personal testimonials on this site share the unique, thoughtful and caring approach Fred has taken to successfully help an enormous range of wonderful clients. Fred is deeply honored to be the number one estate sale company in Orange County. 

On a personal note, Fred was born at Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach. Growing up he was always in the water…swimming, playing water polo, and surfing.  After living in Laguna Beach for 22 years he now resides back in Newport Beach. When he is not handling estates, Fred spends his leisure time studying, gardening, swimming, travelling abroad (when time permits) and is involved in animal rescue.
