What could keep me from obtaining a Tennessee Real Estate License?

The Commission very carefully examines all applications. Applicants who have been convicted of, pled nolo contendere to, pled guilty to or been granted first offender treatment upon being charged with any criminal offense other than a traffic violation or applicants who have held professional licenses which have been disciplined are thoroughly scrutinized. If you have a history of any of the above, you may seek a preliminary decision from the Commission prior to spending time and money taking the pre licensing course and the examination by completing the ‘‘Application for Decision Regarding Prior Criminal Conviction (s) and/or Disciplinary Sanction(s)’’ and submitting it to trec.info@tn.gov with required backup documentation.
