Using a Business Name, Is my Legal Name Viewable to Public?

[Mike Miller]

I know many people use a DBA/LLC name as an agent, I like the idea for privacy.

However, what if someone looked up my license number on the state Real Estate website, like California Bureau of Real Estate, will it display my real legal name to the public? Will it still show my legal name and indicate that I am using a DBA name?

If a client of mine knows me by my DBA name "Joe Larry", and could look up my License # and see my real name is "Billy Bob". Simply curious to what extent a LLC name anonymizes a real estate agent.

Thanks
