@Joseph HammelSome examples of estate planning I have done with my real estate clients include the use of family limited partnerships to freeze value of estate along with defective grantor trusts; LLCs with preferred interests (similar to debt instrument); sale of membership interests to defective grantor trusts; annual gifting of LLC interests using discounts for lack of marketability and/or lack of control, etc.

Even with discounted commission I would whether direct or indirect be paying $35,500 to $60,500 up and beyond what it costs me to get self-licensed after 10 years of not doing any transactions besides this upcoming sell and buy.Negotiations on price:  An agent won't make up for the commission in this in my particular market.
