Wholesaling as a licensed agent

[Kevin Stein]

Hello everyone,

As of the first of the year I became a licensed agent in Wisconsin.  I'm just getting that business up and running (5 transactions closed so far) but I also wanted to start wholesaling.  I'm looking for advice from other agents that wholesale:

1. Does my direct mail marketing have to disclose that I'm an agent?  I understand that on the phone and in person I need to disclose this...I'm asking specifically about mailings.
2. If so, do I actually have to put my name/agency on the direct mail...or just that I'm an agent?
3. Non-licensed folks aren't required to use the state approved Offer to Purchase.  They typically use a shorter document (in WI it's currently 9 pages long).  Do you see using the state approved offer form as a problem?  Should I have the paperwork completed by my wife instead so we don't have to use the state forms?
4. Any other conflicts or watch-outs I should be aware of?

Thanks for any input!
