Direct mail as a Real Estate Agent

[Account Closed]

Happy Friday everyone!

I'm a new real estate investor and real estate agent. I recently sent out a batch of direct mailers before I was issued my California agent license. This means that none of my letters have my CalBRE id# on there, or a disclaimer saying that I am not trying to take a listing from another broker. What are the repercussions for doing this?

What should I do in the future to avoid these problems and how are agents currently sending direct mail (for investing purposes)?  

Thanks!

Hey Sean, congrats on getting your license! There's nothing wrong with sending out mailers informing people you're a new agent. But it is frowned upon to solicit business from other agents. Reprocussions can include anything from getting suspended from the MLS or losing your license. Good rule of thumb, your license number and a disclaimer should be on absolutely everything that you send out in print and digitally. But you should be fine. :)
