[quote=Anonymous]Estate sales. Look for them online. These companies specialize in clearing out old homes, pricing items and selling them by organizing a sale onsite that the public goes to. They broom clean the home, and connect you with real estate agents for house sale (not that you need it, I think). It's by far the easiest way to deal with a clear-out, even though the companies take a significant cut of the profits, since they do all the work. Relatives can of course earmark some stuff for themselves. You can sell the home as-is, or remove the wallpaper and carpet, plus repaint, which will fix most of the cigarette smoke issues. I am not familiar with auction house apart from the big ones like Christie's. Very often people think their antiques are more valuable than they are. An appraiser might come and take a look, perhaps to guide you in the right direction. [/quote]
