Q: I’m a broker of my own brokerage corporation, which currently handles only residential transactions. I want to set up a branch office to run the commercial side of my business. May I register a trade name for the branch office and continue to use the corporate name for my primary office?
A: No. All branch offices must have the same corporate or trade name as the primary office. Also, no individual, partnership or corporation may be registered under more than one trade name.
