Is it legal to use a fictitious name for a brokerage?

No, it is always illegal
Yes, if it is filed with the county clerk
Only if approved by the state real estate commission
Yes, without any conditions

The correct answer is: Yes, if it is filed with the county clerk

Generally speaking, using a fictitious name for a brokerage is allowed as long as it is properly registered and filed with the appropriate authorities. Option A is incorrect because there are circumstances where using a fictitious name may be legal. Option C is incorrect because approval from the state real estate commission is not always required. Option D is incorrect because there are conditions, such as properly filing the name with the county clerk, that must be met in order for the use of a fictitious name to be legal.
