Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Massachusetts

Good for you!

Our office practices in all aspects of real estate, including purchase and sales, closings, condominium conversion, as well as real estate disputes and tenant landlord.

A d/b/a is just a designation filed with some authority that allows you to do business as yourself but under a different name. A d/b/a designation will not insulate you from liability in the way that an LLC or corporate status might. I welcome you to give our office a call if you would like to discuss your plans or have any questions.

That being said, you would likely just need to register your d/b/a certificate with your local city hall.
