Dean and many others on this board are just wrong. NY STATE LAW FORBIDS ANYONE WITH A FELONY FROM BECOMING A real estate BROKER. Look up the law. It is written in black and white. Is it possible to get a waiver? YES. But is it likely? No. And the answer is no because the law actually forbids felons from obtaining this type of license. And as for the response "just hire a good attorney": 99% of people with felony convictions do not have the money to hire a good attorney. If they had that kind of money, they would not be trying to get these licenses. To some up: Possible, yes. (ANYTHING is possible). Likely, no. And by that I mean there is a 99% chance you won't get your license. Why should state state trust you? You already committed a felony.
SOURCE: Me, a convicted felon who was denied a real estate license and is stating facts now, rather than just opinion.
yes a felon can acquire state real estate license
yes, you can, but there are some certain tests you have to go through.
If a felon cannot have a real estate license, but a former one can have. As long as they pass all the requirement and mandatory components that they need, they can get their real estate license. It also depends for the state's real estate commission if they will be accepting such cases, for example is on Texas Real Estate License
A felony conviction generally prevents you from getting a real estate or any other type of professional license, all the license statues require you to be of "high moral character" which is presumed in the law to not be the case of felons.
Yes, the felony conviction only bars the convicted felon from possessing one.
The answer for the most part is no. In Michigan, you will not be able to get a real estate license if the nature of your crime was financial in nature. The board can also reject the application of anyone whom they deem to have a history which shows a pattern of dishonesty.
No, you can not have a felony conviction and get a real estate license unless you go in front of the board and get approval. There are a lot more real estate agents with felonies out there that you think.
Yes, a felon can still obtain a real estate license in Georgia. The Georgia Real Estate Commission will evaluate each application on a case-by-case basis and consider factors such as the nature of the felony and how much time has passed since the conviction.
Obtaining a real estate appraisal license will involve building up experience to get the actual license itself. You may have to obtain a trainee license first, and then work in a real estate appraisal office.
