CONFERENCE SPEAKER

Janelle Stone

Janelle Stone is a native Texan and 36 year veteran of the estate sale industry. She has a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Baylor University. She began conducting estate sales in the early years of her marriage as a hobby. With very few estate sales, very small capital, and very little knowledge she quickly realized she was onto something important.

She parlayed that hobby into a full-time career after receiving the design and appraisal education she needed to make it happen. Janelle quickly realized her clients wanted a turnkey experience that was beautiful, flawless and profitable. Janelle's contentment comes from knowing that she has made her clients and employees happy while fostering important relationships that will last a lifetime.

Janelle now works with her son, Wen Stone, full time. It’s amazing to see the next generation carry out dreams we never knew we’re possible.
