The count further charges that the Respondent did not reveal this to the Florida Real Estate Commission when he filed his application to be licensed within the state. Therefore, the Commission states Respondent obtained his registration as a salesman by means of fraud, misrepresentation or concealment in violation of Section.475.25(2), F.S. Count Two alleges that the Respondent answered in the negative to Question 14 of said application "Have you filed any application for registration as a broker or salesman in this state which was not granted?"
