Becoming licensed during sale of my house -- disclose to buyers?

Quick question for anyone that may happen to know the answer. This pertains to Pennsylvania.

I currently have my latest flip under contract. I also just passed my RE exams and am looking to sign on with a broker. I understand that if I'm a licensed agent I must say so in my listing. What happens, though, if I become a licensed agent during the listing of my property? Must I change the MLS description to disclose this fact? Must I disclose this to my buyers in some other fashion?

I was thinking of waiting until I close on the property before pursuing the license, but I'd rather just get it if it's not too much trouble.

First rule of any licensee: DISCLOSE!  You now are technically a legal 3rd party in any transaction.  Although I'm not sure as to the State regs. I am very sure on the ethics.

BEST LUCK,
