Use Your Own Name and
Build Your Team Brand

  • We may register any name an agent would like to use as long as it is not already registered.
  • We will attempt to register an agent’s preferred name with DRE; however, some registrations may be denied. This is due to the BRE guidelines being regularly updated and the name must meet the current registration requirements.
  • The agent is required to pay a $500.00 one-time fictitious business name registration fee, which covers legal, registration, publication, county, and administration expenses. If the agent wants their DBA to be renewed after the typical 5 year period that the County approves it for, it will be a $300 charge. The agent is responsible for requesting the renewal from the Brokerage.
  • Agents are allowed to register the same name with their own county recorder’s office.
  • It takes about two months to receive an approval from DRE. After the approval is received, the DBA can then be utilized for marketing your real estate business.
  • When an agent uses a DBA, our company DRE license number, and name or logo is still required on all agent marketing materials (business card, signs, flyers, ads and etc.). It is DRE regulation.
  • An agent may take their DBA if they leave our company. We will cancel our registration and the agent will have to do a new registration with their new broker.
  • More information about DBA and forms are at: Usage Guidelines
  • Note: DBA (do business as) and FBN (fictitious business name) is the same thing, just named differently.
