The Issue Whether disciplinary action should be taken against Respondents for alleged violation of Subsections 475.25(1)(a), (c), (d), and (i), F.S., Section 475.25(3), F.S., and Rules 21V-10.07 and 21V-12.06, F.A.C., as set forth in the Administrative Complaint, dated September 29, 1977. At the commencement of the hearing, counsel for the Petitioner announced that Respondent Walter L. Medlin is no longer registered with the Real Estate Commission, and that therefore he should be dismissed as a party Respondent. The request was granted by the Hearing Officer. Walter L. Medlin, as authorized representative of International Land and Investment Corporation, and Donna L. Allen, were advised of their rights in an administrative proceeding and they acknowledged that they understood the same.
Findings Of Fact Respondent International Land and Investment Corporation, Kissimmee, Florida, is registered with Petitioner as a corporate real estate broker and was so registered during the year 1975. At that time, Walter L. Medlin was registered with Petitioner as a real estate broker and also as president and active firm member of International Land and Investment Corporation. Respondent Thomas F. Wells, Kissimmee, Florida, is registered with Petitioner as a real estate broker and was so registered in 1975. Respondent Donna L. Allen, is registered with Petitioner as a real estate salesman and was so registered in 1975 with the firm of International Land and Investment Corporation. (Petitioner's Exhibits 2-4) During the month of August, 1975, Mrs. Mildred E. Bartlett, then residing in Hialeah, Florida, and her son, John B. Pate, visited Kissimmee, Florida, to make inquiries concerning the purchase of residential property in the area. At the time, Mrs. Bartlett was attempting to sell her residence in South Florida and was financially unable to purchase another residence until a sale had been effected. (Testimony of Bartlett, Pate) Respondent Wells showed Mrs. Bartlett and her son Lots 10 and 12 of a platted subdivision in Osceola County known as Neptune Shores. The two lots had homes constructed thereon which were approximately 75 percent completed. Prior to 1973, Wells and Medlin had purchased the property comprising the Neptune Shores Subdivision, and Wells had dedicated the plat of same on May 15, 1973, as the owner thereof. Lots 10 and 12 were thereafter sold to one Art Raska, who constructed the unfinished homes thereon, but thereafter defaulted on a mortgage on the property. The mortgage was foreclosed by the First Merritt Mortgage Corporation, Merritt Island, Florida, who thereby became the owner of a portion of the subdivision, including Lots 7, 10, and 12. International Land and Investment Corporation purchased a number of the lots at that time. At no time during Mrs. Bartlett's discussions with Wells and Medlin did they reveal their past and present interests in the Neptune Shores Subdivision, although she was furnished a copy of the plat. (Testimony of Bartlett, Pate, Raines, Medlin, Petitioner's Exhibit 5) Mrs. Bartlett expressed interest to Wells in purchasing Lots 10 and 12 as homes for herself and son, but told him that she would have no money to purchase the property until she sold her present house, and that therefore any purchase agreement would have to be contingent upon such a sale. Wells told her that he would check into the matter and ascertain the selling price. After returning home, Mrs. Bartlett received a telephone call from Wells during which he informed her that he would need $1,500.00 as earnest money in order that he could tell the mortgage company that he had an interested party and was holding money in his escrow account. On or about September 9, Wells wrote to her and enclosed an unsigned option contract between First Merritt Mortgage Corporation and herself which recited that for a consideration of $2,000.00 the purchaser could purchase Lots 10 and 12 for an additional sum of $44,000.00 on or before January 15, 1976. It further provided as follows: Seller will agree to cooperate with purchasers efforts to complete construction. This contract will be null and void and deposit returned if purchaser is unable to obtain the necessary permits by October 10, 1975. Evidence of a Certificate of Occupancy granted by Osceola County on either Lot 10 or Lot 12 shall extend the option period until March 1, 1976. The letter accompanying the proposed option agreement stated: "Please sign these if everything is in order and make the checks out to Thomas F. Wells, Broker, so I can deposit to an escrow account rather than have the mortgage company hold your money." The letter further stated that a "Judge owned Lots 14 and 15 for which he had paid $9,600.00 each, and that the price of Lot 11 would be $8,000.00. Although Mrs. Bartlett and her son contemplated completion of construction on the two houses which they intended to use for future residences, they had no intention of performing such work until they had purchased the property. After receipt of the option agreement, Mrs. Bartlett informed Wells that she did not want an option contract whereby she could lose her deposit if she were unable to purchase the property, but wished to have a contract of purchase and sale contingent upon the sale of her present residence. Wells told her that he would send her another contract with different wording, but did not do so. (Testimony of Bartlett, Pate, Petitioner's Exhibit 6, Respondent's Exhibit 1) During succeeding weeks, Wells urged Mrs. Bartlett to have the unfinished homes completed in order that she could qualify for a mortgage loan on Lost 10 and 12. Although she discussed this possibility with Wells, she ascertained through discussions with local financial consultants that this would be impossible due to her financial situation and that of her son. On September 21, 19975, Mrs. Bartlett and her son met with Wells and Medlin in Kissimmee. At the meeting, Mrs. Bartlett gave Medlin $200.00 for an option to purchase Lots 8, 9, and 11 in the Neptune Shores Subdivision for $6,600.00, $7,400.00 and $7,700.00, respectively, from International Land Investment Corporation by various dates in 1976. The option agreement, which was dated September 21, 1975, reflected a typewritten signature for Mrs. Bartlett, but she did not sign the same after being informed by Medlin that it was unnecessary for her to sign it. He scratched out her name on the contract and signed it himself as president of the corporation. The document was witnessed by Wells and Pate. Mrs. Bartlett was told by Medlin that he would hold the three lots in reserve for her in the event she wished to purchase them at a later date. Mrs. Bartlett had brought with her the proposed option contract previously sent to her by Wells, which provided for a $2,000.00 payment for the option to purchase Lots 10 and 12. She did not sign the contract, but gave him a check for $1,500.00 which Wells put in his escrow account on September 22. Mrs. Bartlett believed that this money was protected since it was to be placed in escrow; however, she acknowledged the fact that the $200.00 which she had given as an option on the other lots was an acceptable risk and that she did not mind losing that amount if the larger purchase of Lots 10 and 12 was not successful. Wells and Medlin both testified that Mrs. Bartlett was well aware that she was also risking the $1,500.00 and that she was concerned only about her ability to protect herself from being compelled to purchase the property in the event her present home did not sell or if she was unable to obtain mortgage financing on the new purchase. It is found from the evidence that their testimony is not credible in this respect. (Testimony of Bartlett, Pate, Medlin, Wells, Respondent's Exhibit 2) Medlin had previously contacted an official of the First Merritt Mortgage Corporation, but learned that it was not interested in taking Lots 10 and 12 off the market for an option agreement. He then negotiated a contract of sale and purchase of Lots 7, 10, and 12 from First Merritt Mortgage Corporation for a total price of $46,000.00 with an earnest money deposit of $4,000.00. It provided for closing on or before January 15, 1976. The contract was dated September 19, 195 and executed on that date by D. L. Allen on behalf of International Land and Investment Corporation. It was witnessed by Wells and Medlin. On September 23, 1975, it was executed by First Merritt Mortgage Corporation. The corporation also required that Medlin agree to guarantee performance by the buyer and he therefore signed the agreement in an individual capacity. The contract provided that no real estate commission would be paid on the transaction. Mrs. Bartlett was not informed at the September 21st meeting that these contract negotiations were pending. In late September, Wells told Mrs. Bartlett that the mortgage company wanted more earnest money and that an additional $2,500.00 would be necessary for this purpose. Mrs. Bartlett gave him a check for that amount, but later depleted her account before it cleared the bank because Wells had not provided her with a purchase contract. Wells showed Mrs. Bartlett a proposed option agreement D. L. Allen and herself which provided for a payment of $4,000.00 for the right to purchase Lots 10 and 12 on or before January 15, 1976, for the total sum of $46,000.00. It further provided as follows: "As a part of the consideration for the Seller having executed this Option: the Buyer agrees to diligently pursue the completion of the houses located on said property. All repairs or improvements will be made at no cost to the Seller and will provide the Seller with Lien Waiver at the completion of each improvement. All repairs or improvements will become the property of the Seller in the event this transaction is not completed." There was no signature block on the agreement for the purported purchaser of the option. Mrs. Bartlett had been told by Wells and Medlin at the September 21st meeting that "Mr." Allen was a "big investor" who would guarantee her commitments. In fact, Allen was Respondent Donna L. Allen who was then employed by International Land and Investment Corporation. On September 30, Wells wrote a check in the amount of $4,000.00 to Walter F. Medlin, Trustee, and on the same date Medlin wrote a check to First Merritt Mortgage Company in a like amount. Medlin's check was erroneously dated October 30, 1975. On October 3rd, the option contract was signed by D. C. Allen, and mailed to Mrs. Bartlett by Wells. On October 6, Wells' bank notified him that Mrs. Bartlett's check for $2,500.00 had been returned for insufficient funds. After various telephone conversations and a visit by Wells to Mrs. Bartlett's home, another check for $2,500.00 was sent to Wells on October 21, which he had converted to a cashier's check on October 24. The $2,500.00 represented funds that had been borrowed by Pate and given to his mother to transmit to Wells. Both Bartlett and Pate were under the impression that the additional payment would be placed in Wells' escrow account and retained until a sales contract was executed. (Testimony of Bartlett, Pate, wells, Medlin, Petitioner's Exhibit 1) In November, 1975, Mrs. Bartlett telephoned Wells and told him that she wanted a return of her money. Wells told her that he would have to consult with D. L. Allen because he had turned the money over to that individual in payment of the option that had been taken on the property. Thereafter, Allen executed an "amendment" to the agreement which was prepared by Medlin and witnessed by Medlin and Wells. The document stated in part that if the "buyer," on or before November 25, 1975, could not provide sufficient evidence as to the availability of funds to close the transaction on or before January 15, 1976, the option would terminate and funds paid by the buyer to Allen would be refunded out of proceeds of closing upon the sale of the property by Allen to a third party. By letter of November 21, 1975, Allen wrote to Bartlett referring to the option amendment and stating in part: "In view of your recent conversation with Mr. Tom Wells in which you indicated that you had no intention of accepting that Ammendment [sic] and considering that I have not received a copy of the Ammendment [sic] signed by you indicating your acceptance, I am hereby cancelling my offer to ammend [sic] the original Option. I also wish to remind you that in the event that you do not exercise that Option and comply with each and every part of that agreement there will be 'no liability to refund the money paid therefor.'" By a mailgram sent on November 24, 1975, Bartlett advised Wells that he had until November 28 to return the $4,000.00 being held in escrow which she had requested in a November 20 telephone conversation, or she would report the matter to the district attorney's office and the Real Estate Commission. Wells responded with a letter which stated that her deposit on the option contract was given to the seller as consideration for executing the option, and that he was willing to "make every effort I can to negociate [sic] the matter with Allen. Negociations [sic] seemed to be the only possible course of action for recovery of your money." On November 26, 1975, Allen wrote to Bartlett wherein she stated that since Bartlett had executed the option agreement whereby she had agreed to "deligently [sic] pursue" the completion of the houses located on the property, she had breached the terms of the option contract. It further stated that since she had made demands for reimbursement of the $4,000.00 payment, that such action could only be interpreted as abandonment of the agreement, and that she (Allen) therefore declared the option contract null and void and was retaining the $4,000.00 as partial consideration for having executed the agreement. This letter was also prepared by Medlin for Allen's signature. (Testimony of Bartlett, Wells, Medlin, Kimmig, Petitioner's Exhibit 1) Wells and Medlin had previously agreed that they would split a 10 percent commission on any sale of Lots 10 and 12. After executing the purchase agreement on the property with First Merritt Mortgage Corporation, it was agreed between Wells and Medlin that Wells would receive $1,000.00 as a real estate commission. Allen had originally funded the $4,000.00 deposit to be made on the property by Medlin. Medlin had told her that she would receive Lot 7 if the deal was completed; however, he intended to give her only an "interest" in the lot. She received her original $4,000.00 back in October, 1975, when she signed the option agreement. The reasonable market value of Lot 7 was $6,000.00 to $8,000.00. The purported purchase of the property by International Land and Investment Corporation was not consummated on or before January 15, 1976, and the $4,000.00 was forfeited. Mrs. Bartlett never received return of the $4,000.00 which she had transmitted to Wells. (Testimony of Bartlett, Wells, Medlin, Raines, Kimmig)

Findings Of Fact Respondent Robert Cousins was exclusively connected with International Land Brokers, Inc., as a real estate salesman, from October 30, 1974, to January 22, 1975; and again from February 19, 1975, to September 7, 1975. During the period of respondent's employment, Jeffrey Kramer, a real estate broker, was president and active firm member of International Land Brokers, Inc. One of the corporation's offices consisted of two rooms. The front room contained Mr. Kramer's desk, a secretary's desk, file cabinets, a duplicating machine, and a reception area. The back room was divided into six cubicles, each with a telephone. The office complex has a regular telephone lone and a WATS line. Attached to the walls of most of the cubicles most of the time were portions of a packet of papers that was mailed to certain prospects. Pages two through five of composite exhibit No. 1, together with the last page, were at one time posted on the walls of some of the cubicles. Between the hours of six and half past ten five nights a week and at various times on weekends, salespersons in the employ of International Land Brokers, Inc. manned the telephones in the cubicles. They called up property owners, introduced themselves as licensed real estate salespersons, and inquired whether the property owner was interested in selling his property. When a property owner indicated an interest in selling, the salesperson made a note of that fact. The following day, clerical employees mailed a packet of papers to the property owners whose interest in selling the salesperson had noted. Petitioner's composite exhibit No. 1 contains the papers mailed to one prospect. The contents of the materials which were mailed out changed three or four times over the year and a half that International Land Brokers, Inc., was in business. As a general rule, a week or so after the initial call to a property owner who proved interested in selling, a salesperson placed a second telephone call to answer any questions about the materials that had been mailed, and to encourage the property owner to list the property for sale with International Land Brokers, Inc. Property owners who listed their property paid International Land Brokers, Inc., a listing fee which was to be subtracted from the broker's commission, In the event of sale. When International Land Brokers, Inc. began operations, the listing fee was $200.00 or $250.00, but the listing fee was eventually raised to about $300.00. In the event the same salesperson both initially contacted the property owner and subsequently secured the listing, the salesperson was paid approximately 30 percent of the listing fee. If one salesperson initially contacted the property owner and another salesperson secured the listing, the one who made the initial telephone call was paid approximately $20.00 and the other salesperson was paid between $75.00 and $90.00 or thereabouts; when more than one salesperson was involved the sum of the amounts paid to the salespersons represented about 35 percent of the listing fee. In telephoning property owners, the salespersons worked from lists which International Land Brokers, Inc. had bought from unspecified individuals, or compiled from county tax records. During January of 1975, while associated with International Land Brokers, Inc., respondent was given the name of Patricia Marie CONVILLE, whom he telephoned. Respondent asked Ms. CONVILLE whether she wanted to list a lot she owned In Port St. Lucie with International Land Brokers, Inc. He told her that International Land Brokers, Inc. "would assess the value of the land and publish it in a catalog . . . [and] attempt to sell [her] land," Exhibit No. 23, pp. 4-5, in exchange for a listing fee of two hundred dollars ($200.00), which would be deducted from a ten percent commission, in the event of sale. When Ms. Conville said she could only afford a listing fee of one hundred dollars ($100.00), respondent agreed to accept that amount, with the understanding she would pay the rest later. Respondent told Ms. Conville that he "didn't know how great the chances were someone would want to come in and buy undeveloped piece of land, so he) actually made no guarantee that the land would be sold." Exhibit No. 23, p. 9. Ms. Conville executed a listing agreement she received in the mail, which she then sent back to International Land Brokers, Inc., together with her personal check for one hundred dollars ($100.00). Later she received "the proof of a page in their catalogue," exhibit no. 23, p. 9, in which was printed a description of the property she had listed, and a price for the property. No prospective purchasers ever inquired of her with respect to the property.

Findings Of Fact Respondent Jean Martinez was exclusively connected with International Land Brokers, Inc., as a real estate salesperson, from February 11, 1975, to September 7, 1975.
