I have no idea how they keep track of what happens with a person once they already have a license if it's outside of the real estate realm. Unless it's reported to the DPBR/FREC they would have no idea. So, if you are really concerned about it, report it to the state agency. The loyalty issue regarding your 'friend' is a personal one and I wouldn't even attempt to influence you one way or the other.
In Arizona, on the original license application, there is a question "Have you ever been convicted .......". Fingerprints an verification of fingerprints are also required.

Our law requires a licensee to report, within 10 days from conviction, any adverse criminal issue.

Our law also requires, upon renewal of a license, the question "have you, since your last renewal been convicted ...." be answerd.

Our regulatory body spot checks criminal data bases upon renewal of licenses.

They catch a bunch of people who either did not inform the department or, who lied on the application

This person started to take the realtor course and got the license months after being arrested and in the middle of the trial against this person.
How do they catch a bunch of people who lied on their application, just by checking or by getting these people reported?

I am sure the application said "Have you been convicted of a felony"

In Colorado, all licensees submit to fingerprint CBI/FBI backround checks.

I am sure there are a few that have since been convicted; the Real Estate Director would sure like to know about them.

Ya know, I've never paid attention to the renewal thing... I don't recall if it asks that or not. I just pay the fee online, I don't remember filling out any kind of questionaire or anything. I'll have to check that out. Hmmm.... Thanks.

The Licensure board for the state does correlate the applications with public records and discrepancies are noted and discussed. If needed, there is a formal hearing.

Just an FYI - there is no such thing as a "REALTOR course". REALTORS are not a licensing entity. They are a membership organization

One can have a real estate license, sell real estate, and never be a REALTOR.

Yes. REALTORS do not license.
