Possible for a felon to obtain license in OH?
I've been thinking about possibly trying to obtain my real estate license, but I have a felony record unfortunately... I've contacted the Ohio Division of Real Estate Licensing to see if I could get licensed with a felony conviction and they pretty much said that I would just have to take the required courses and submit an application to be reviewed. They couldn't give me an exact answer because I guess it has to be reviewed by the commissioner. I just don't want to waste $1500 on the required courses if I'm not able to get licensed for sure. Have any of you guys ever known anybody with a felony conviction who was able to get licensed, preferably in Ohio?

I don't know of any agents with felonies, but again, I'm sure it all depends on what the felony was. If it was for robbing someone, then I would think you wouldn't have a chance (since people are trusting you with their homes). But, I really have no idea.
Now you have me curious...
