Our Story
Co-founders and owners Jade and Jennifer Montrie both grew up in and around the auction and antique industry. From the time he was a young boy, Jade used to travel to auto auctions with his father, and has been involved with his mother's antique ventures throughout her lifetime. Jennifer would spend many a weekend attending flea markets and visiting every antique shop within driving distance with her mother and grandmother, both avid collectors with a true love and appreciation for art and antiques.
From early on in their marriage, Jade and Jennifer enjoyed attending auctions as a fun pastime. Jade was working in finance when, one day, he revealed to Jenny that it was always his dream to become an auctioneer. The following Christmas, Jenny surprised Jade with a certificate announcing his enrollment in Missouri Auction School, the industry's leading auction school. In 2003, upon completion of the auction coursework, examinations and internship, the couple left their previous jobs, took a leap of faith, and started what is now known as "Montrie Auction & Estate Service, LLC."
