Make an offer in your LLC or personal name

[Danny Lambert]

When you make an all cash offer does it make a difference whether you make the offer in your personal name or your LLC name?

[Mike S.]

If your ultimate goal is to have the property under your LLC, you can maybe make the offer under a land trust that is assigned to you. For the seller, it will still be seen as being a personal offer. But after the sale you can reassign the beneficiary to your LLC without having to create a new deed and pay new registration and transfer stamps or taxes.
