I think it's a bad idea. I do believe the state has already accomplished that through the Department of Licensing and Regulation.

I haven't seen this done. Though, I think it would make good sense to do it.

I've never seen it done, if I owned a brokerage I would to protect my brand/business. In most states before you get licened they do somekind of Check, in Nevada it even involves giving finerprints and and FBI background check so everyone is at least not a serious criminal.

It is a sign of the times and sadly I think it is necessary these days.

This is probably a smart business practice but I have not seen the precautions in practice.

No need for me. The state handles background check.

Our state licensing commission runs a background check when a license is issued and every 2 years when they are renewed. If it were not for them doing this then yes I think it is a good idea for a broker to do it.

In North Carolina, the real estate commision requires a background check before they give you your broker's license.

To tell you the truth, I have no idea and have never asked. I'm somewhat neutral on this subject.

I know the licensing process does a background check on all applicants. However, do you think the "State's"standards are at your level of standards?
Can't speak for anywhere outside of Florida but there are many Florida licensees who have been convicted of crimes. As a Broker, I like to know for what. Any agent wanting to work with your company and have nothing to hide should not have an objection to the checks.
