Will my buyer's agent know that I own the LLC?

Depends on the state. If your LLC was formed in a state that requires member disclosure (like some do for real estate transactions), the agent might get your name via the title company. But if you used a registered agent and the state doesn't publish member info, you're probably fine.

Short answer: probably not unless they hire a PI or dig into the title history. But I've seen buyer's agents get nosy when they smell a privacy play.

If the property is in a state where the deed shows the LLC as grantor, the buyer's agent will see the LLC name. The closing docs might list a signatory, but that could be your manager or attorney. Just make sure your registered agent address is not your home.

I went through this last year. The buyer's agent asked for the operating agreement to confirm the signer had authority. I gave a redacted version with only the managre's name (my lawyer). No issues.

@spatula_bandit that's a good point about the deed. In my county, the deed shows the LLC but the transfer tax form sometimes has a responsible party name. Worth checking your local forms.

Why not just tell them the LLC is the owner and you're the manager? That's not hiding anything and it's true. If they push for for personal info, say the LLC handles the transaction.

OP, you should check if your state has a beneficial ownersHip registry. Some now require reporting to FinCEN or state. That info isn't public, but a buyer's agent won't have access anyway. So you're fine.

Wyoming is one of the better states for privacy. You'll be fine. Just don't volunteer anything.
