Do you need a real estate license to wholesale property in Massachusetts?

[Dan Dwyer]

I need serious help here man! I thought I knew enough to get started in wholesaling and then today a 1/2 hour ago I just got a call back from an agent in regards to a home in Acushnet that I called about. Everything seemed to be going just fine, then in the middle of the conversation I told him that my intentions would be to wholesale the property. That's where things got ugly and crazy! The man on the phone told me that wholesaling a property without a real estate license in Massachusetts is illegal! He was irate threatening to call the attorney general on 3-way swearing up and down he teaches classes, and I've been duped by some guru! Is this true? Is it illegal to wholesale properties without a license in Massachusetts illegal? I'm just blown right this second. I really don't know what to think or say right now. Please help
