Hey everybody, what business categories do you look under when you are trying to find a company that will come and deal with all the stuff in a packrat’s house?

When my mom and her remaining siblings cleaned out their mother’s house, they put everything up for auction (except some of the smaller stuff) and anything they wanted, they had to buy from the auction. I don’t know how they sold the house, but someone else lives in it now so they must have sold it somehow.
