Consent Agreement. $500 Civil Penalty. Probation for the time period of the first license term, through December 31, 2023.
Truthful and complete disclosure of one’s criminal history is essential to the Commission’s determination of whether an applicant meets all requirements for obtaining an Iowa real estate salesperson license. The Applicant’s failure to accurately and completely disclose his criminal history constitutes a false statement of material fact upon which the Commission may deny his license application. See Iowa Code § 543B.15(5) (2021).
Upon a balancing of the factors delineated in Iowa Code section Iowa Code section 272C.15(4) (2021), the Commission concludes that the Applicant’s criminal history should not disqualify him from obtaining an Iowa real estate salesperson license at this time. Because of the Applicant’s demonstrated history of habitual intoxication, the nature of his criminal history, and the recency of his last conviction, the Commission does find that the imposition of conditions upon any license issued to the Applicant is an appropriate precaution to safeguard the safety and wellbeing of the public.
