[quote=Anonymous]I just sold my mother's house to fund her assisted living. It was also 40+ years of hoarding, cats, depression, etc. and 3.5 hours away. Also have a full time job and two young children. Here's what worked for me. I engaged a local realtor who hooked me up with a local auction house. I took a few trips there to pick out the few things I wanted and sort out things to take to my mother. The auction house emptied the entire house (it took over a week) and will sell what they can. Any auction proceeds over and above their fee will be returned to me. The realtor handled everything 'on the ground' for me and earned his commission. This is the only way I could have possibly managed the situation. Regarding valuable items, my realtor said that no one wants 'brown furniture' and realistically, a lot of stuff our parents have is not that valuable. Sentimental, but not financially valuable.
