We had to clear out my in law’s place in a gated community. There was a very nice consignment shop in the area, and we talked to them about it. They knew the subdivision well, and they told us that estate sales were forbidden - but if we sent pictures, they could pick up items that they could sell in their store. H & I packed up and donated a lot of things (books to the library, clothes & housewares to Goodwill). We threw out or shredded personal documents. Family members took what they wanted. For the final clean out, we had a local service come in that took everything that was left - they sold stuff in lots, so I guess they were like a liquidation company. They even emptied out the drawers! My in laws made some money from the clean out - not a lot, but it was not pocket change, either.
