Advertising without a BRE number

[Ken T.]

Hello! I have noob question that I cannot easily find the answer to. I showed some of my licensed real estate friends my business card draft and they told me I am not allowed to state "We buy and sell houses" on my business card because I'm not actually licensed, nor will I be putting a BRE number.

I just wanted to confirm what type of wording I am allowed to use in my business cards in California. Any input would be appreciated!
