In Maine, the most common structure for real estate enterprises is an LLC. This is due to the ease with which a limited liability corporation (LLC) may be formed and operated.

If your real estate firm is sued, an LLC may safeguard your personal assets (vehicle, home, money). LLCs also provide credibility and tax-saving possibilities.

In Maine, you may form a real estate LLC by filing the Certificate of Formation with the ME Secretary of State. In Maine, forming a real estate LLC costs $175.

The first step in organizing a real estate LLC is to choose a firm name. You must offer your company a distinct name that complies with Maine naming regulations.

When you submit your Certificate of Formation, you will formally register your name.

Determine if the name is available in Maine. Make sure the company name you choose isn’t currently in use by doing an online LLC name search.

Examine if your company’s name is accessible as a web domain. You may choose to purchase the URL in order to prevent others from using it.
