Hi. I’m Karen, Founder and Owner of Heart & Home Estate Sales in Ballston Spa, New York – the heart behind every estate sale I host. I believe that every home holds a story worth honoring.
The Why
I believe it is important to share my “why.” Through personal experience and the experiences of close friends, I saw how overwhelming it can be to sort through a lifetime of treasured belongings. I recognized the need for someone to step in with care, honesty, and compassion. That understanding led me to work alongside established estate sale companies, where I spent years learning the business and refining my craft. Those experiences gave me the tools, knowledge, and confidence to build Heart & Home and serve families in a way that is both professional and deeply personal.
Inspiration
What continues to inspire me is the privilege of stepping into each home and seeing what was truly loved - collections gathered over time, pieces filled with meaning, and stories waiting to be honored. No two homes are ever the same and that’s what makes this work so meaningful and close to my heart.
I don't just love one type of item, I love the purpose behind it all. There's real joy in helping treasured pieces find new homes, giving them a second life rather than seeing them go to waste. It's about connection, sustainability, and honoring what came before. If I had to choose, I'm especially drawn to the unique and eclectic items, those one-of-a-kind finds that you don't see daily. And I'II always love the smalls - the delicate, meaningful pieces tucked inside china cabinets that often hold the most character.
The Heart
The “Heart” in Heart & Home holds many personal meanings for me, but most of all, it reflects the relationships I build with my clients. My goal is to always lead with kindness, compassion, and empathy. I believe that this is what makes Heart & Home truly unique.
