One thing to be aware of - when you are considering names and you find one that you are leaning towards, make sure that the name is available with your state's secretary of state; make sure that it is not trademarked; and you should check domain name availability. 

Does your US state REQUIRE practising licensed agents/brokers to be members of a REALTORS® trademark brand/board?

@Erin Dorsey RobinsonIf I told you guys my trademark, patent, highly protected secrets then I wouldn't find anymore "distressed facilities".

And during a hyperinflationary period, gold is much less useful than other things -- like guns, food, etc -- things that we would never consider backing our currency with.So, during inflationary and hyper inflationary periods, there is nothing intrinsic about gold that makes it better or worse than other typical fiat currencies.And, the big difference between the US and hyperinflation in other countries is that the US can produce enough grain, clean water, and fuel to help ensure that the trademark effects of hyperinflation won't occur very easily...if at all...in this country anytime in the near future...

We have 3 single family rental properties in Northern CO, and we use Trademark. 

What if you also own the trademark for the name?

That's a trademarked "system".

The numbers beg to differ... there more active real estate agents today than ever before: 3 million active licenses in the US, about half of which are Realtors (a trademarked term that refers to an agent who is a paying member of the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the largest trade association in the US).

You may also want to consider trademark issues if your name gets too close to an established business.Everyone likes to focus on piercing the corporate veil.

You have to use it for awhile and you can file for trademark name or something.
