Can I become a real estate agent with a felony?

Yes, you can become a real estate agent with a felony, but it depends on the nature of the felony and the state in which you are trying to become a real estate agent. Generally, a felony conviction will not prevent you from becoming a real estate agent; however, some states may have restrictions. It is best to contact your state's licensing board to determine if a felony conviction would affect your ability to become a real estate agent in that state.

Generally speaking, most jurisdictions will not allow someone with a felony conviction to obtain a real estate license. However, the exact types of felonies that would disqualify someone from obtaining a real estate license vary between jurisdictions. In some cases, a person may be able to obtain a real estate license if their felony conviction is more than a certain number of years old, or if they have completed a rehabilitation program.
