Agents license or Brokers license?

[Luther Kyrin Creecy]

Do you need your brokers license in order to wholesale property? Can you wholesale with an agents license? I've heard that it's safer to wholesale with a license to avoid fees or fines for now having a license. Because to get a brokers license I would need at least 2 years working as an agent or 3 years in the field to get a brokers license. I am new to the industry and am wondering if I can wholesale with an agents license and then get my brokers license over time. 

Thank you
