Question about Florida Real Estate License?

I was arrested in 1989 for "filling a false report" by an overzealous redneck cop. I pleaded No Contest, and adjudication was withheld. That was the only offense I ever had. will that keep me from getting a Florida Real Estate Salesman's License?

Answer:

You would normally find the requirements to become a Florida real estate on their web site. Google Florida real estate agent license requirements. The site would list the classroom requirements, any convictions and if they would be listed misdemeanors or felonies and if you could be approved for a real estate license based on any conviction you might have had. Once you are on the Florida state real estate website, you might be able to download an application,which normally would explain if there are law infractions you would be required to list and if the offense is a disqualifying factor. In some states you might have these type records sealed and it would be as if the conviction never happened. You might check to see if Florida has this type law and the requirements to have your records sealed. I hope this has been of some benefit to you, good luck. FIGHT ON
It shouldn't!
Just make sure you disclose that in your application.
Tough call. I suggest you contact the Florida real estate commission directly with this question. Normally the one thing they look for in the criminal background check are cases involving fraud and this is sort of related.
