it isn't KIND of a criminal record.....it IS a criminal record. However, typically the types of records that would impede you in getting a real estate licence would be theft, fraud, etc types of convictions. Those would bar you for sure. A drunken driving conviction does not have anything to do with anything related to honest conduct in conducting a real estate tansaction. Know what I mean.....just becuase you made a mistake, does not mean that you are a swindler. If you have a fraud, or theft conviction, it means you pretty much DO have the inclination to be going out and commiting financial crimes against other people. I'm about 99% sure that you will be fine...

Shouldn't be a problem...Most Realtors are drunks anyways. I had a criminal sale of marijuana conviction and that didn't phase anyone.

You can ask your teacher about it and do some actions about it. What you have done was 6 years ago and you can talk with legal officer that was assigned in the agency that gives license to a real estate agent. If you have potentials in becoming a successful real estate agent and you believe in yourself then there's no doubt that you will surpass this problem.
