I received a phone call on Friday from an Executor that probating his deceased brother's estate. He received my contact info from a yellow letter that I mailed almost 6 weeks ago. He wants to know who he can contact to have someone purchase his deceased brother's personal belongings. After that, I'll be free to purchase the home. Does anyone have any idea who I can contact to help me with this? Or should I just hold an estate sale myself on his behalf with him present?

Make it a rule to learn to take the deal off the market.
It's all about control.
Yes, you can contact a few estate sale auctioneers and buyers however you will lose some level of control.
I suggest asking what PR thinks the value of the personal property is, their estimate of the cost of selling it, and offer to buy the property and it's content as a whole. Sure you can hold your own estate sale or donate the stuff or haul it off, but the profit is in the real estate and the deal must be controlled by you.

@Dawn and @Rick...Sounds like a good idea; that way, I won't have to worry about contacting someone else and possibly losing out to someone else. Thanks you guys!
