Question about branding myself as a realtor

[Mark Lynch]

Hello!

I’m a newly licensed realtor and everything I’ve read has stressed the importance of creating my brand. I’ve been kicking around ideas to name my company and had a few questions. Does it have to just consist of an actual name ex: (John Doe Realtor) to really put your name out there. Or can it be something more creative like (Grapevine Properties)?? Also, can even use the words (properties, realty, real estate etc… ) at the end of potential name as realtor? Or are they reserved for actual brokerages.

Any guidance would be appreciated!
