Estate Sale Lead
I oversee the estate sale process from consultation to final clear-out, including scheduling, staging, pricing, running the sale, and wrapping everything up for our clients once the sale is complete.
Those few minutes before we open. The adrenaline, the line outside, and knowing all our hard work is about to send these pieces off to happy new homes.
I’ve always been drawn to vintage fashion and studied textiles and merchandising, and lately I’ve also enjoyed learning more about jewelry, especially gold and sterling silver pieces.
An urn holding a family’s pet peacock, definitely unexpected, and a diamond engagement ring found tucked inside the pocket of a pair of folded jeans in a closet.
Spending time with my husband, trying new restaurants, and unwinding with my favorite reality TV.
Empathetic, Fun, Resourceful.

Seeing items move and talking with customers. You meet a lot of cool folks!
Art, media, collectibles, and a good garage.

Being a total homebody hanging with my fella and my critters. I love gardening and crafting. I have a vegetable garden that I’m obsessed with through spring and fall. I get down drawing, making stained glass, crocheting, and various other crafty fixations.

I would have to say I was surprised to see that people sell their high school yearbooks and other people actually buy them.
I am healing souls as a Soul Healing Coach.
I enjoy estate sales! The history, the stories, and hidden gems are my favorite parts.

That moment right before doors open — the whole house is still quiet and everything is perfectly arranged.
Vintage cameras, Art Deco pieces, old books, and anything with a good patina.
A fully intact darkroom setup from the 1950s — enlarger, chemical trays, the works. Still smelled faintly of fixer.
A vintage film camera that looked rough but turned out to be in near-perfect mechanical condition. Felt like rescuing something.
Restoring vintage cameras, or shooting black-and-white film around Atlanta.
I once bought a camera just for its leather case — then fell in love with the camera too.
Curious. Detail-obsessed. Patient.

Very professional estate sale experience. They did everything they said they would do and then some. The house was spotless when they finished and the sale was a big success. Have already recommended them and would use them again.

I’ve known Kara for a while, even before she joined Leave It to Lara Estate Sales, and I couldn’t be happier for her in this new chapter. Kara is polite, kind, professional, and very understanding, which makes the entire experience smooth and pleasant.

Great experience! Kara was kind, enthusiastic, caring and thoughtful. I was very impressed with the estate sale and the ease of donating what was not sold. I highly recommend Leave it to Lara!

I recently referred Leave It To Lara to a client who needed estate sale services. Kara made the entire process smooth, professional, and incredibly well-organized. The sale exceeded expectations and feedback was overwhelmingly positive.

They had a great estate sale this past weekend at a beautiful home in Marietta. All of the employees were super helpful and very friendly. There was so much stuff, I didn’t even know where to start.
Estate Sale Visitor
I’ve referred numerous clients to Lara because her work is consistently top-tier. She’s professional, detail-oriented, calm under pressure, and every person I’ve sent to her has been thrilled.

We visited a large estate sale managed by Leave it to Lara. The team did a fantastic job managing a 9-building estate. Staff was friendly, pricing was clear, and traffic flow was handled very well. Looking forward to future sales!

This was one of the best organized estate sales I have ever been to. The staff were so friendly and helpful. My wife and I will definitely support whatever other estate sales they hold.

Lara and Kara were amazing to work with. They made a challenging and emotional estate process feel easy with their patience, care, and professionalism. Truly 10 out of 10.
