You get no tax benefit or break with an LLC, you are still on the hook on your commissions to pay it as approproate - it passes through to the members.

Being an auctioneer and Realtor, I have people wanting to line up and book auctions RIGHT NOW so when this cracks wide open - can be sold. Businesses, Real Estate, Probate - you name it - people are standing in line wanting to start getting rid of the huge backlog.  It is unfortunate, but needed.

I no longer do facebook ads or any of those creepy online lead generation tools because they are generally no one wanting to do business on the other end.   Even if I pay $18 a lead, it is a waste of money.

(more) I no longer do facebook ads or any of those creepy online lead generation tools because they are generally no one wanting to do business on the other end.   Even if I pay $18 a lead, it is a waste of money. I get 100% of my leads from two sources - face to face offering to help people, and calling folks in my town asking if there's anything I can help with. I don't get pushy about listing or selling their property at all.

Being an auctioneer, I can tell you the trend that I see in estates.   More and more people believe that setting a price, and then cutting prices up to 90% off of those prices is a great way to solve the estate.  So a $100 item sells for in some cases $10 or lower, if bundled. An auction,... (more) Being an auctioneer, I can tell you the trend that I see in estates.   More and more people believe that setting a price, and then cutting prices up to 90% off of those prices is a great way to solve the estate.  So a $100 item sells for in some cases $10 or lower, if bundled. An auction, whereas starts a bid in which people set their initial price and works up, in some cases can earn just under retail, or in the case of real estate, can go up as much as 143%.  So a $100 item can be sold at $95 starting at $50, and if it is unique enough can sell for $143. So, the question was loaded as to the term you chose - but according to state law, and Estate Sale is an Auction.
