A sole proprietor in Maryland may operate under their personal legal name or under a trade name that has been properly registered with the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation (SDAT).
If a trade name is used, it must be clearly disclosed in all brokerage advertising and license registration records with the MREC.
This ensures public transparency and compliance with Maryland’s real estate advertising and licensing requirements.
