Question

When Paul decided to become a real estate sales associate, he applied for his license. He was 23 years old at the time, had a college degree, and had previously owned a business--a lawn service company known as Green Acres Land Service, and he called himself John. He had been found guilty of several parking violations which had resulted in an outstanding warrant for his arrest. He paid the parking tickets and settled the arrest warrant. Does Paul have any other disclosures he needs to make?

Answer 1

Answer: Yes. He needs to disclose that he used another name for the previous business.

Step-by-step explanation:

The licensing authority needs to know any of Paul's past history that could cast any judgement on his character so as to measure his integrity as real estate associates have to abide by certain ethics.

He therefore needs to disclose that he went by the name John when he owned the lawn service company to enable the licensing authority to research his activities whilst he owned the company.
