Yes. That is how many teams operate here - licenses are hung with another broker and they are the broker of their team in either an Inc. or an LLC. 

In Georgia yes.  But you have to be licensed that way.  Example... Jane Doe DBA Jane sells Sinclair, LLC by the real estate commission.  Business card has to have both and brokerage name and brokerage and/or attorney must pay the BE.  Although I do know some who skirt/break the rules, but not my brokerage.

Even after I sold my company and became a Broker Associate I retained the corporation Fred Griffin .

Yes.  We have PC's, S corps, LLCs and more within our brokerage.

In California the only two types of entity for a real estate brokerage allowed by the Department of Real Estate is either a Sole Proprietor or a Corporaation.  No LLCs or LLps or General Partnerships.

My broker allows an agent to establish an LLC.

Yes, many do, however the check has to be written to an individual.

That is an interesting question.  I do not know Fred Griffin -

I know I can as a broker.   

Parked and Reading. 

That's what I've done for years. I have no my own company which is paid by my brokerage.

Yes, John and I have an LLC. Many agents and teams are S corps.

Many do

I believe Colorado can!

My CPA recommended to incorporate years and years ago, and was working under another Broker.

Yes. 

LLC is the most common, I believe, but ask CA CPA. 

Yes they can...

I operate under a P.A. 

Fred, great question! 

With you we will find the right answer.

Oh, Fred, what the smart question. 

I will pass. :)

I researched this back in May when I was told by my CPA to form an entity. In Florida, an agent (who is not a broker) can be a P.A., LLC or PLLC.

After consulting my attorney and tax CPA, I was leaning towards LLC or PLLC but after talking with my broker was advised to do a P.A. so that is what I did.

I would suggest that anyone considering doing this not only talk with their attorney and CPA but their broker as well.

By "sole proprietorship" do you mean a d/b/a? I have not heard of that being an option in Florida.

Yes. You have to be careful to follow the rules in your state.

As stated it's fairly common here Fred.

Yes.  I know many sole agents that run as an LLC or corp.

Yes- it is done frequently in my state (Utah) and in the state I previously lived (Arizona).

Yes in Ohio.

I have my brokers license... but I was not the broker/owner.... I never had income in my name....it always went through a corporation... I was Inc....

Sure can...

YES but the their rea estate license has to reflect the entity they working under and if a DBA, that has to be licesned as well. SO i need license approval for myself, my llc and my dba

In AZ, yes. I'm the owner of my real estate LLC, my license is with the LLC. My LLC hires me as the practitioner. Title companies and brokerages pay my LLC, not me directly.

You can also be other types of corporate like a PC for example.

Yes as long as they have a broker

Fred,

Yes, we were a C corp while we were working with a broker.  In CA real estate companies cannot operate as an LLC.

Yes, you can do so in Illinois and many do!

Yes & we've discussed it here many times. S or C corp? My CPA charged an arm & a leg for doing it & I'll never make that mistake again. You can do it yourself easily.

I was a Sub S for a long time when I was with other brokerages.

Yes; however, their broker must have some role in the entity.

Noidea.

Yes it is, in Arkansas
