With moms buy-in, an auction is the way to go. We auctioned off everything we owned including the house (except the RV and Tow Vehicle). The Auctioneer got 20% for items selling for less that $1000,00 AND 10% for items over $1000.00. The Real Property was handled separately. We paid 5% commission on the sale of the house. There was a fee for advertising and labor to set up the sale. They showed up in the morning, and we drove away that afternoon. Everything was sold. No dumpsters, no problems. We had our money within just a few days. GOOD LUCK!
