Are there any agents in MD or DC who run their real estate business under a DBA or LLC?

[Dacia Bell]

As an agent, I am always thinking of ways to start branding myself now so that when I am ready to become a broker and form my own brokerage, I would have already become a recognizable entity in the industry and in the community.

Have any real estate agents established LLCs or DBAs in order to distinguish themselves apart from the brand their brokerage?

Hi @Dacia Bell . I'm an agent in Baltimore and I have an LLC. So when I get paid from my broker the checks are made payable to my LLC. Now, with that being said it has nothing to do with my personal branding. I'm not looking to open my own brokerage so the name of my LLC isn't specific to a "Real Estate" company. It's more or less generic so I can use it for many of my endeavors. For better direction I would talk to your accountant about it; reasons for doing it and maybe reasons for not doing it.

You can always shoot me a message with any questions.
