Patrick Soucy's journey in the antique and auction business began at the remarkable age of 13, working at a local antique shop — unloading trucks, removing hardware from furniture, mowing the lawn. His passion solidified the day he attended his first estate clean-out and, soon after, his first auction.
One of his early personal acquisitions was an Empire mirror — looking into it, he found himself reflecting on its history, realizing it had been around before Abraham Lincoln's presidency.
After graduating high school at 18, he opened his first antique shop that July. In hindsight, he acknowledges his mother's advice about pursuing college and a business degree — but those early missteps were formative to who he is today.
Nearly five decades later, Patrick Soucy continues to thrive in the antique and auction world — not just buying and selling, but helping families through the process of an estate.
