Successfully completing the steps for the state’s real estate broker license does not guarantee it will be issued. The Washington State Licensing Department will also consider your character and criminal background before making a determination as to whether you are issued a license.
Each application is considered on an individual basis. If you have a criminal history, there will be a number of factors taken into account in determining whether to accept your application, including the age of the conviction, level of crime and relevance to real estate, if any.
