    According to this:
    http://www.parealtor.org/content/AssetMgmt/Legal%20Services/Laws%20&%20Regulations/Licensing%20Act%202007-01.pdf

    Your licence MAY be refused, but not necessarily.

    See page 17/18

    455.604. Prohibited acts
    (a) The commission may upon its own motion, and shall promptly upon the verified complaint in writing of any person setting forth a complaint under this section, ascertain the facts and, if warranted, hold a hearing for the suspension or revocation of a license or registration certificate or for the imposition of fines not exceeding $ 1,000, or both. The commission shall have power to refuse a license or registration certificate for cause or to suspend or revoke a license or registration certificate or to levy fines up to $ 1,000, or both, where the said license has been obtained by false representation, or by fraudulent act or conduct, or where a licensee or registrant, in performing or attempting to perform any of the acts mentioned herein, is found guilty of:

    (14) Being convicted in a court of competent jurisdiction in this or any other state, or Federal court, of forgery, embezzlement, obtaining money under false pretenses, bribery, larceny, extortion, conspiracy to defraud, or any similar offense or offenses, or any felony or pleading guilty or nolo contendere to any such offense or offenses.


    Please remember...this and AB are not responsible for legal info...contact the real estate board in your jurisdiction.
