Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Illinois

Re: How do I auction my home

It is legal. Speak to the auction house for particulars. Each one has different terms.

Re: How do I auction my home

Actually, to auction your home to the highest bidder is quite legal -- happens all the time. But, your question also raised the possibility of a raffle. If, by that, you envision having persons purchase tickets for a certain amount with the winner selected by random, for example, that may well fall within the perimeters of unlawful gambling.
