Question:

Real estate license -- criminal record?

hi, i live in Vancouver, BC. I am studying the real estate courses now in UBC, i have a impaired-driving record 6 yrs ago which is kind of a criminal record. does anyone know that the real estate council will give me the license?? thank you!!

Answer:

it isn't KIND of a criminal record.....it IS a criminal record. <br> <br>However, typically the types of records that would impede you in getting a real estate licence would be theft, fraud, etc types of convictions. Those would bar you for sure. <br> <br>A drunken driving conviction does not have anything to do with anything related to honest conduct in conducting a real estate tansaction. Know what I mean.....just becuase you made a mistake, does not mean that you are a swindler. <br> <br>If you have a fraud, or theft conviction, it means you pretty much DO have the inclination to be going out and commiting financial crimes against other people. <br> <br>I'm about 99% sure that you will be fine...
