CA Licensed Agent OK to send Direct Mailer

[Benjamin S.]

HI All,

I am a licensed agent in CA, but I currently am not using my license. It is active at the DRE, but it is not hung at a brokerage and I am not practicing. I have been told by others that I am not allowed to market to distressed sellers and enter into contract with them on a property because I am held to a higher standard with my license. Is this true? I am starting a mail marketing campaign and want to make sure everything I do is legal/ethical.

Thanks!
