The Issue Whether petitioner's application for registration as a real estate salesman, pursuant to Chapter 475, Florida Statutes, should be approved.
Findings Of Fact Petitioner field applications for registration as a real estate salesman with respondent on October 10, 1977. Question 16 of the application reads as follows: 16. Have you, in this state, operated, attempted to operate, or held yourself out as being entitled to operate, as a real estate salesman or broker, within one year next prior to the filing of this application without then being the holder of a valid current registration certificate authorizing you to do so? The petitioner answered "no" to Question 16. On December 8, 1977, respondent Florida Real Estate Commission issued an order denying the application based on its determination that the applicant had operated, attempted to operate or held himself out as a real estate broker or salesman within the one year period prior to filing his application. Petitioner thereafter requested a hearing in the matter. (Exhibit 1) Petitioner is the president of Marketing Institute Corporation of the Americas, Ltd. of San Jose, Costa Rica. (MICA) The firm operates as a real estate sales organization under the laws of Costa Rica, and is owned by Insco S.A., a Costa Rican holding company. (Testmony of McIntire, Figueredo) In 1975, petitioner became associated with William W. Landa, president of Costa del Sol, a condominium project in Miami, Florida. His function was to produce sales of condominium units as a result of sales efforts in Latin America. Part of the informal arrangement was the petitioner occupied a rental villa at the condominium project. His success in producing sales was limited and, as a result, the association was terminated sometime in 1976. In a letter to Lands, dated January 21, 1977, petitioner sought an accounting of expenses incurred in the operation and stated that he had produced three purchasers for which commissions were payable at the rate of "10% for foreign sales and 5% on domestic sales." Although no explanation of the terms "foreign sales" and "domestic sales" was presented, Landa testified at the hearing that petitioner did not sell in Florida for Costa del Sol. (Testimony of Landa, Figueredo, Exhibits 2-3) On December 1. 1976, the receiver in bankruptcy of the estates of Grandlich Development Corporation and Fisher Development Corporation, Fred Stanton Smith, president of the Keyes Company, Miami, Florida, Wrote petitioner and offered to pay his firm a 10% commission on "all sales closed by you of all Commodore Club Condominiums sold to your prospects." The commission was to be payable to MICA through its agent in the United States, Transcontinental Properties, Inc. of Miami, Florida, a corporate broker, The Commodore Club is a condominium project located at Key Biscayn, Florida. Hemisphere Equity Investors, Inc. was the registered broker for the sales of the condominiums and kept sales agents on the premises. Smith instructed Hemisphere to cooperate with foreign brokers in the sales of the properties. Petitioner proceeded under this arrangement to obtain and refer prospective foreign purchasers to Transcontinental who arranged to show the condominium units to the clients and consummate any resulting sales. Although petitioner had desk space in the Transcontinental office from September, 1976, to August, 1977, he was not supposed to show properties to clients or be involve in any real estate sales functions. In September, 1976, the president of Transcontinental placed a telephone call to respondent's legal office at Winter Park, Florida and ascertained that commissions could be paid to a foreign broker. However, he was informed by the Commission representative that it was a "gray" area and, although the foreign representative could serve as an interpreter for foreign clients during transactions in the United States, he could not perform any of the sales functions himself in Florida. Sales were made in this manner and commission checks were paid to petitioner's firm during the period January - September, 1977. (Testimony of Smith, McIntire, Figueredo, Exhibits 4, 5, 12, 13, 15) On July 1, 1976, Alexander Sandru purchased a condominium at the Commordore Club through the Keyes Company as broker. He was a friend of petitioner's from Caracas, Venezuela, and the latter had recommended his purchase of the condominium. However, petitioner was not in the United States at the time Sandru viewed the property and purchased it. Petitioner claimed a commission on the sale and it was paid to his firm through Transcontinental's predecessor company. A dispute arose over the payment of the commission because a saleswoman of Hemisphere Equity Investors, Inc. had shown the property to Sandru and assumed that she would earn the commission on any resulting sale. (Testimony of Lundberg, Nelson, Murragy, Exhibits 8-11) On several occasions in 1976 and 1977, petitioner accompanied Latin American individuals to the Commodore Club where a representative of Hemisphere showed them various condominium units. During this time, petitioner would inquire concerning maintenance charges and the like and transmit such information to the individuals in Spanish. Several of these persons were connected with petitioner's foreign firm and were not prospective purchasers. (Testimony of Lundberg, Figueredo, Exhibit 7) On January 30, 1977, Insco S.A. entered into a purchase agreement for a Commodore Club condominium unit. Petitioner signed the agreement on behalf of his firm MICA as broker for the transaction. However, the deal was never consummated. (Testimony of Figeredo, Exhibit 14)
Recommendation That Petitioner's application for registration as a real estate salesman under Chapter 475, Florida Statutes, be denied. DONE AND ORDERED in Tallahassee, Leon County, Florida, this 22nd day of March, 1978. THOMAS C.

Findings Of Fact Petitioner, Kimberly D. Coyle, filed her first application for licensure as a real estate salesman in 1979 with Respondent, Department of professional Regulation, Florida Real Estate Commission. She did not pass the examination and resubmitted a second application in February, 1980. However, she did not take the examination at that time. By application dated November 2, 1981, she filed another application for licensure with Respondent. All responses on the application at that time were complete and correct. The application was returned to Petitioner in January, 1982 with a request that she resubmit the same and enclose a passport photograph and a set of her fingerprints which had been previously omitted. Because Petitioner was in a hospital at that time, her mother returned the original application together with the requested fingerprints and photograph. These were received by the Commission on February 10, 1982. The November application was refiled a third time on March 4, 1982 because the required $25 application fee had not been included with the prior two submissions. Applicant was thereafter approved for licensure, and successfully passed the salesman examination. On December 8, 1981, Petitioner was arrested in Dade County and charged with three counts of possessing a controlled substance. She was later placed in the South Miami Hospital Addiction Treatment Program on December 11, 1981 where she remained for six weeks. On March 1, 1982, Coyle was accepted as a participant in the State Attorney's Diversion Program and has been a successful participant since that time. As a result of her participation, adjudication on the charges has been withheld pending a successful completion of the conditions of her program. On April 30, 1982, the Commission wrote Petitioner a letter in which it advised her that the December 8 arrest had come to its attention, and requested that she forward a "complete explanation of these charges along with an explanation of (her) partial answer to. . .question (six)." Question six requires that the applicant answer whether she had ever been arrested without regard to whether she was convicted, sentenced, pardoned or paroled. Petitioner furnished a reply to the Commission's inquiry on June 8, 1982. She gave a full explanation of the charges and stated that a partial answer to question six was given on the March 4 submission because "as of March 4, 1982. . .(she) had not yet appeared in court." On July 2, 1982, Respondent notified petitioner that her application was denied on the ground that her answer to question six on the application "failed to reveal the 1981 drug charge." The denial precipitated the instant case. 1/ Petitioner is twenty-one years old. She is currently employed as a waitress in Miami. If her application is approved, she intends to work for her mother's real estate firm in Marco Island, Florida. Coyle stated that when her application was originally submitted in November, 1981, it was complete and accurate. The resubmissions in February and March, 1982 were made by her mother, and simply involved the refiling of the November application with the additional items (photograph, fingerprints and check) requested by the Commission. There was no intent on the part of Coyle to deceive the Commission, and when asked to clarify her response to question six, she did so in a full and truthful manner.
Recommendation Based on the foregoing findings of fact and conclusions of law, it is RECOMMENDED that the application of Kimberly D. Coyle for licensure as a real estate salesman be GRANTED. DONE and ENTERED this 28th day of September, 1982, in Tallahassee, Florida. DONALD R. ALEXANDER Hearing Officer Division of Administrative Hearings The Oakland Building 2009 Apalachee Parkway Tallahassee, Florida 32301 (904) 488-9675 Filed with the Clerk of the Division of Administrative Hearings this 28th day of September, 1982.
The Issue Whether or not the corporate names Dupont Realty Investment Corporation and Dupont Realty, Incorporated, are deceptively similar to each other and, if so, whether or not pertinent rules and regulations of the Department of State require the latter chartered corporation to amend its Articles of Incorporation and registration to reflect a new name.
Findings Of Fact Based upon the testimony adduced at the hearing, the documentary evidence received and the entire record compiled herein, the following relevant facts are found. Petitioner, Dupont Realty Investment Corporation, was issued charter No. 535008 on April 27, 1977. Petitioner is a for-profit corporation which has remained active since April of 1977. Respondent, Dupont Realty, Inc., was issued charter No. 680928 on August 4, 1980, and has been permitted the use of that corporate name by Respondent, Secretary of State, Division of Corporations (Secretary) based on the Secretary's reliance on Chapter 607, Florida Statutes, and Rule Chapter 10- 1, Florida Administrative Code. The Secretary takes the position that the Petitioner and Respondent, Dupont Realty, Inc., were properly granted name clearances inasmuch as there exists a major word difference within the style of their name. That is, the compound "Realty Investment" denotes something entirely different from "Realty." (Letter dated April 27, 1981, from D. W. McKinnon, Director, Division of Corporations, to Anthony R. LaRossa, Petitioner's registered agent.) Petitioner, in urging that there is no difference in the subject corporate names, also points out that it has spent substantial monies in advertising; that the subject corporations are engaged in the same business (sale of real estate); are serving the same locality and are operating in the same postal areas. Using that criteria, and the guides set forth in Chapter 607.024, Florida Statutes, and Rule Chapter 10-1.04, Florida Administrative Code, Petitioner argues that Respondent, Dupont Realty, Inc.`s name is deceptively similar to its (Petitioner's) name. Both corporations operate within Dade County and are engaged in the real estate business. Petitioner's salesmen answer their telephone in the abbreviated form "Dupont Realty." According to Charles Yaritz, a salesman, Petitioner's customers refer to it as "Dupont Realty." Petitioner claims that it has received telephonic inquiries of properties about which it has no knowledge. Salesman Yaritz admitted that its business activities are primarily that of the sale of commercial properties due to "high interest rates" which are now prevalent in the area. (Testimony of salesman Yaritz and Anthony R. LaRossa, salesman and registered agent/broker for Petitioner, respectively.) Petitioner uses advertising signs which contain the caption "For Sale Dupont Realty Investment Corporation" and a telephone number. Petitioner also uses a silk screen which is different from any advertising legend used by Respondent, Dupont Realty, Inc. (See Petitioner's Exhibits 2 and 3.) Robert Silverang, an employee of Respondent, Secretary of State, examines name requests pursuant to the authority contained in Chapter 607, Florida Statutes, and Rule Chapter 10-1, Florida Administrative Code. Messr. Silverang reiterated the Secretary's position that the word Investment is regarded as a major name change/difference, the existence of which permitted the Secretary to grant the subject corporate name clearance to Respondent, Dupont Realty, Inc. Messr. Silverang also offered the opinion that when there is a major name difference, locality is not considered as a factor in either granting or denying a name clearance. Respondent, Dupont Realty, Inc., chose the name Dupont Realty because "Dupont" is her 1/ "legal" name. Respondent is engaged almost exclusively in the sale of residential property and caters to clientele consisting of approximately 95 percent French-Canadian. In further support of its claimed "confusion," Petitioner referred to the fact that it received an order of checks intended for Respondent, Dupont Realty, Inc., and retained custody of same for approximately one (1) month prior to the hearing herein. (Petitioner's Exhibit 6.) Respondent's property listings are in areas different from the areas in which Petitioner lists and sells property. Respondent advertises on signs approximately twice the size of the signs utilized by Petitioner. Respondent, Dupont, has no phone listing in the Dade County telephone directory and has not been advised by her customers of any "confused" calls. Both firms have spent approximately the same amount of funds for advertising purposes. However, the two corporations use different medians to carry out their advertising. Thus, Petitioner caters to publications which attempt to reach the commercial client, whereas Respondent, Dupont Realty, Inc., aims at reaching French-Canadians who are primarily interested in the purchase and sale of residential properties.
Recommendation Based on the foregoing findings of fact and conclusions of law, it is RECOMMENDED that the grant of the name Dupont Realty, Inc., to Respondent be UPHELD in that said name is not deceptively similar to that of Petitioner. DONE and RECOMMENDED this 20th day of October, 1981, in Tallahassee, Florida. JAMES E. BRADWELL Hearing Officer Division of Administrative Hearings The Oakland Building 2009 Apalachee Parkway Tallahassee, Florida 32301 (904) 488-9675 Filed with the Clerk of the Division of Administrative Hearings this 20th day of October, 1981.
The Issue The issue presented is whether the Respondent violated Section 475.25(1)(a) and Secton 475.25(3), Florida Statutes, as alleged in the administrative complaint.
Findings Of Fact The Respondent, Nettie Byer, was employed by Continental Marketing Services from November 3, 1975, until March 31, 1976, as a broker salesman. The deposition of Maureen Palloti was received into the record subject to the objections ruled on in the Hearing Officer's Order heretofore entered in the record. The testimony of Edward Nadelman was received. Nadelman stated that he was contacted by telephone by a person who represented that she was Nettie Byer. The caller stated that she was with Continental Marketing Services, a real estate sales organization. The caller further represented that if Nadelman paid a $350 advance fee, Continental Marketing Services would list Nadelman's property advertising it widely within the United States and abroad, selling it for several times what Nadelman paid for the property. Nadelman subsequently received a copy of that advertisement for his property. Nadelman's property was not sold. The deposition of Maureen Palloti reflects that Mrs. Palloti and her husband were contacted by a caller who identified herself as Nettie Byer. The caller made representation similar to those made to Edward Nadelman. As a result, the Pallotis entered into a listing agreement with Continental Marketing Services, paid an advance listing fee, and subsequently received a proof of an advertisement of their property. Evidence was presented that Nadelman's and the Pallotis' property was not worth the price suggested by the caller as the price at which the property could be sold. However, no guarantees of sale were made by the caller. No evidence was introduced that the individual who called Edward Nadelman or that the individual who called the Pallotis was the Respondent, Nettie Byer. No evidence was introduced that the Respondent had any knowledge of the business activities of Continental Marketing Services. No evidence was introduced that Continental Marketing Services did not perform in accordance with the listing contracts with the Pallotis or with Nadelman.
Recommendation Based upon the foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, the Hearing Officer recommends that the Florida Real Estate Commission take no action against the license of Nettie Byer as a broker salesman. DONE AND ORDERED in Tallahassee, Leon County, Florida, this 16th day of March, 1979. STEPHEN F.

Findings Of Fact I.Z. Mann Realty Corporation was at all times material to this proceeding a corporation registered as a real estate broker with the Commission, with its principal business address at 240 North Washington Boulevard, Sarasota, Florida, 33577. Irving Z. Mann was at all times material to this proceeding a real estate broker registered with the Commission, and the holder of two registration certificates: one as an individual broker with an office at 2197 Princeton Street, Sarasota, Florida 33577; and the other license as president and active broker of I.Z. Mann Realty Corporation. Stanley M. Robbins was at all times material to this proceeding a registered real estate salesman in the employ of I.Z. Mann Realty Corporation. At all times material to this proceeding Fritz K. Grolock was a registered real estate salesman, and from April 12, 1972, to February 2, 1976, he was registered with the Commission as a real estate salesman in the employ of I.Z. Mann Realty Corporation. From February 2, 1976, to November 29, 1976, Mr. Grolock was registered with the Commission as a real estate salesman in the employ of I.Z. Mann & Associates, Inc. At all times material to this proceeding Irving Z. Mann was president, and Stanley M. Robbins was vice president, assistant secretary, treasurer and general sales manager of I.Z. Mann & Associates, Inc., a Florida corporation which was the owner and developer of the Palma Sola Harbor condominium development in Sarasota County, Florida. On or before February 4, 1976, Mr. Grolock and Mr. Robbins had agreed that Mr. Grolock would receive for his services as a real estate salesman for I.Z. Mann & Associates, Inc. a three percent commission based upon the sales price of individual condominium units sold at Palma Sola Harbor. Commissions were to be paid to Mr.Grolock at the end of the month in which the sale of each such unit was consummated. Mr. Robbins explained to Mr. Grolock at the time of this agreement that I.Z. Mann & Associates, Inc. was short of cash, and that should Grolock make any sales, he might have to wait for some indefinite period of time to receive his commission. Mr. Grolock indicated his willingness at the time to proceed on that basis. No testimony was adduced, and no documentary evidence was offered to establish that Mr. Grolock was employed by I.Z. Mann Realty Corporation, Inc., at any time material to the allegations contained in the Administrative Complaint. During the course of his employment as a real estate salesman with I.Z. Mann Realty Corporation, Inc. Mr. Grolock solicited and obtained a real property sales contract between Elmer C. Sutter and Ruth W. Sutter, as purchasers, and I.Z. Mann Realty Corporation, Inc., as seller, for a condominium unit in the Palma Sola Harbor project. The purchase price of the unit was $26,450, and the evidence established that Mr.Grolock is due, and has not been paid, a commission of $793.50 for that sale. During the course of his employment as a real estate salesman with I.Z. Mann & Associates, Inc., Mr. Grolock solicited and obtained a real property sales contract between Martin G. Tepatti and Dorothy L. Tepatti, as purchasers, and I.Z. Mann Realty Corporation, Inc., as seller, for a condominium unit in the Palma Sola Harbor project. The purchase price of the unit was $37,450, and the evidence established that Mr. Grolock is due, and has not been paid, a commission of $1,123.50 for that sale. During the course of his employment as a real estate salesman with I.Z. Mann Realty Corporation, Inc., Mr. Grolock solicited and obtained real property sales contract (Petitioner's Exhibit #1) dated April 29, 1976, between Donald F. Brown and Barbara S. Brown, as purchasers, and I.Z. Mann Realty Corporation, Inc. as seller, for a condominium unit in the Palma Sola Harbor project. The purchase price of the unit was $37,450, and the evidence established that Mr. Grolock is due, and has not been paid, a real estate commission of $1,123.50 for that sale. Mr. Grolock did not attend the closing of any of the three transactions referenced above and described in the Administrative Complaint. However, the only evidence of record establishes that these transactions resulted in "negative closings" that is, after deductions of amounts due on the pre-existing construction mortgage, charges for documentary stamp taxes, tax pro-rations and the like, no funds remained for disbursement to I.Z. Mann Realty Corporation, Inc. for payment to Mr. Grolock as a commission. Neither Mr. Mann, Mr. Robbins, I.Z. Mann Realty Corporation, nor I.Z. Mann & Associates, Inc. received any funds at the closing of these transactions. Some time after the closings of the three transactions described in the Administrative Complaint, Mr. Grolock spoke with Mr. Robbins concerning non- payment of his commissions. Mr. Robbins explained t6hat the three transactions had resulted in "negative closings," but that if Mr. Grolock would be patient he would be paid his commissions in due course. Mr. Robbins discussed the commissions once or twice thereafter with Mr. Grolock, each time explaining that the company was short of money but that Mr. Grolock would be paid eventually. Because of poor market conditions in the condominium industry, I.Z. Mann Realty & Associates experienced financial problems which ultimately resulted in the company's insolvency. The company eventually voluntarily relinquished its assets to creditors, or had its interest in those assets foreclosed, and at the present time is no longer actively engaged in business. By letters to Mr. Robbins dated December 7, 1976, and January 19, 1977, (Petitioner's Exhibit #2) Mr. Grolock demanded that some arrangements be made for payment of his past due commissions. When he received no reply to these letters, Mr. Grolock sent a letter (Petitioner's Exhibit #2) to Mr. Mann dated April 25, 1977, listing the transactions which resulted in $3,040.50 being owed to him for real estate commissions. Shortly after receiving this letter, Mr. Mann telephoned Mr. Grolock, on May 5, 1977, and told him ". . . the company had been inactive for a long time, but that I would see to it that he would get paid eventually. Just give us a chance to get some money to do it." (Transcript, p. 63). Mr. Grolock agreed at that time to wait for payment of his commissions. Some time after his May 5, 1977, telephone conversation with Mr. Mann, Mr. Grolock filed a complaint with the Commission ". . . [b]ecause I found no other recourse. . . [t]o obtain my commission . . . ." (Transcript, p. 26).
Findings Of Fact Roy Ahringer, hereinafter referred to as "Respondent" has held real estate broker-salesman license number 0158288 at all times material hereto. From approximately August 15, 1983 to November 20, 1983, and from approximately March 1, 1984 to April 30, 1984, Respondent was licensed and operated as a real estate salesman in the employ of Highlands Holiday Realty, Inc., a licensed brokerage Corporation. On or about August 11, 1983, Highlands Holiday Realty, Inc., obtained from Mildred M. Haydon, as owner, a six month listing to sell certain property designated as Lot 9, Block 353, Section 26 Lake Placid, at a price of "any reasonable cash offer". By the terms of this listing agreement, the listing would continue beyond the six month period "until this agreement is revoked by a ten day's written notice" delivered by the owner to Highlands Holiday Realty, Inc. There is no evidence that this listing agreement was ever revoked and it remained in effect during the time Respondent was employed at Highlands Holiday Realty, Inc. Respondent was therefore an agent for Mildred M. Haydon. While this listing agreement was in effect, Respondent obtained a sales contract on March 29, 1984, executed by Robert J. and Marjorie P. Mitchell, as purchasers, for the purchase of Mildred M. Haydon's Lot 9 at a total purchase price of $5000. On April 30, 1984, the Mitchells executed two checks totaling $5000 to Highlands Holiday Realty which were to be placed in a trust account for this transaction. The contract was initially prepared omitting the name and address of the seller but was later completed by Respondent by having a secretary at Highlands Holiday Realty Inc. type in the names of Roy Ahringer and May Ahringer as sellers. On March 31, 1984 Respondent and his wife, May Ahringer, executed a contract for sale and purchase of Mildred M. Haydon's Lot 9 for the purchase price of $2220. Mildred M. Haydon executed this contract for sale and purchase on April 4, 1984. Subsequently this transaction closed and Respondent, with his wife, purchased the subject property for $2220 on or about May 23 or 24, 1984. The evidence presented establishes that Respondent did not explain to the Mitchells or to Mildred M. Haydon that he would be purchasing the property for $2220 from Mildred M. Haydon and then reselling the property to the Mitchells for $5000. Mildred M. Hayden was not informed of the Mitchell's offer of $5000 for her lot prior to her sale of the lot to Respondent. It is Respondent's contention that he told the Mitchells he was having a problem with the lot owner and that he might have to buy it from her in order to be able to resell it to the Mitchells. However, no evidence supporting this assertion was presented by Respondent, and in any event there is no evidence that the Mitchells or Mildred M. Haydon knew about the difference in the purchase and resale prices which would have resulted from this transaction. When the circumstances surrounding this transaction became apparent to Ronald N. Weisser, broker and owner of Highlands Holiday Realty, Inc., he stopped the Ahringer-Mitchell transaction, and the $5000 paid by the Mitchells for this lot has been returned to them. Respondent still owns the subject property. Mildred M. Hayden was damaged in an amount of approximately $2780 due to Respondent's failure to present the Mitchells' offer to her. The Mitchells were damaged in an amount equal to the interest they were required to pay on money borrowed for the purchase price during the period when the funds were retained in a non-interest bearing escrow account. The parties were allowed to submit post-hearing proposed findings of fact pursuant to Section 120.57(1)(b)4, F.S. A ruling on each proposed finding has been made either directly or indirectly in this Recommended Order except where such proposed findings of fact have been rejected as subordinate, cumulative immaterial or unnecessary.
Recommendation Based upon the foregoing findings of fact and conclusions of law, it is recommended that a Final Order be issued suspending Respondent's license for a period of two (2) years and imposing an administrative fine in the amount of one thousand dollars ($1000).
