Findings Of Fact Donald L. Stuart is a real estate broker registered with the Florida Real Estate Commission. He holds license number 215732 with expiration date of 3/3/77. In the renewal application received April 3, 1975 by FREC, Stuart reported his business address to be 407 S. Old Dixie Highway, Vero Beach, Florida. In early August, 1976 an investigator for FREC visited the address on South Old Dixie Highway and found a vacant house with no real estate broker's sign displayed. Inquiry in the neighborhood revealed the house had been unoccupied for a considerable period of time. By Election of Rights form submitted November 26, 1976, Stuart acknowledged receipt of the Administrative Complaint by checking Block 1 in which he acknowledged having read the explanation of rights, did not dispute the allegations made in the Administrative Complaint, and requested a hearing. Notice of Hearing was forwarded by Certified Mail, to the same address, viz. 407 S. Old Dixie Highway, Vero Beach, Florida to which the Administrative Complaint had been forwarded.
Findings Of Fact Upon consideration of the oral and documentary evidence adduced at the hearing, the following facts are found. At all times relevant to this proceeding, respondent Lydon was registered with the Florida Real Estate Commission as a real estate salesman. By an administrative complaint filed on February 8, 1978, the petitioner sought to revoke, suspend or otherwise discipline the respondent's license and right to practice thereunder. The ground for such complaint is that respondent collected money as a salesman in connection with a real estate brokerage transaction in a name not his employer's and without the express consent of his employer. The respondent admits, and the evidence demonstrates, that in December of 1973, the respondent obtained a listing agreement for the sale of real property from Mary E. Renney, brought the seller Renney and the buyer Stephen together, prepared the contract for sale and obtained a check made payable to him in the amount of $500.00 for this transaction, which check was cashed by him. Mr. Lydon testified that he did these things as a personal favor to Mrs. Renney and that his broker knew about these transactions. No evidence was presented that respondent's broker gave his express consent to the events described herein.
Recommendation Based upon the findings of fact and conclusions of law recited above, it is RECOMMENDED that respondent Alford R. Lydon, Sr., be found guilty of the charges contained in the administrative complaint dated February 8, 1978, and that said finding constitute the written reprimand discussed above. Respectively submitted and entered this 2nd day of April, 1979, in Tallahassee, Florida. DIANE D. TREMOR.

Findings Of Fact At all times relevant hereto, Respondent, Gerald Golub, held real estate broker's license number 0032443, issued by the Florida Real Estate Commission and was registered as a broker with Gerald Realty, 11025 University Boulevard, Orlando, Florida 32817. During December, 1978, S. Michael Senia, a registered real estate salesman then employed by Respondent, negotiated a 3-year lease between Pentagram, a Florida general partnership, as lessor and S. and M. Specialities, Inc., doing business as Global Coach and Armor Manufacturing Company as lessee. This lease extended through December 31, 1981, and provided that Respondent was to receive commissions, from Pentagram, paid over the 3-year period of the lease as follows: 7 percent during the first year 5 percent during the second year 3 percent during the third year Respondent and Senia agreed that Senia was to receive 60 percent of the above commissions as salesman, and Respondent was to retain the remaining 40 percent as broker. Respondent received the commissions as provided in the lease and paid Senia his share until he left Respondent's employ in November of 1979. Senia also received commissions for the months of December, 1979, and January and February, 1980. Thereafter the commission payments to Senia ceased. Beginning in May, 1980, Senia made demand upon Respondent for an accounting or delivery of the commissions which he claimed were due. See Petitioner's Exhibits one and two. On July 24, 1981, and October 8, 1981, representatives of the Department of Professional Regulation requested that Respondent provide Senia with an accounting of the commissions due on the aforementioned lease. Respondent failed to provide Senia or Petitioner with an accounting or delivery of the aforementioned commissions claimed until after the Administrative Complaint was filed against Respondent on December 29, 1981. However, Respondent had advised Senia, around midyear 1981, that he would not pay the $144 due at the end of April, 1980, until Senia returned office keys, certain files and a list of items he was working on when he left Gerald Realty. See Petitioner's Exhibit one.
Recommendation From the foregoing, it is RECOMMENDED: That Petitioner enter a Final Order finding Respondent guilty of violating Subsection 475.25(1)(d), F.S., and, in consideration thereof, fine Respondent $500.

Findings Of Fact At all times pertinent hereto Respondent O'Connor was a licensed real estate broker in the State of Florida having been issued license lumber 0065137. Respondent Berg was a licensed real estate salesman having been issued license number 0391098. At all pertinent times alleged in the Administrative Complaint Respondent Berg was licensed and operated as a real estate salesman in the employ of broker Respondent Edward M. O Connor. On or about February 15, 1953, Respondent Berg entered into a contract as purchaser seeking to purchase certain real property in Charlotte County, Florida, described as: Lot 26, Block 1, Charlotte Harbour Subdivision, also known as 201 Cortex Street, Charlotte County, Florida. The property was owned by Louis J. Knetter. Mr. Knetter, as seller, was represented by Emanuel Consalvo, a licensed real estate salesman or broker. This proposed contract, contrary to the allegations of Petitioner, made no mention in its terms of any $500 binder or earnest money deposit. Rather, the contract, instead of mentioning a cash deposit, had the words "commission" clearly written on the top, being Berg's pledge to pay $300 of the real estate commission he would be entitled to on the transaction to the buyer at closing. The proposed contract was tendered to Emanuel Consalvo , the seller's agent, who examined it thoroughly with his client Louis Knetter. Mr. Knetter subsequently refused to enter into that proposed contract. Respondent Berg then made a second offer to purchase the same property which was accepted by the seller. This offer was made on April 18, 1983. The contract regarding the second offer was prepared from a rough draft which Respondent Berg had handwritten. He handwrote the word "commission" precisely as on the original offer of February 15, 1983. On the final typed copy of the contract the abbreviated word "comm.," was typed into the contract to indicate (and it was Respondent Berg's intent) that the commission to be earned by Berg would be used as a down payment at closing rather than any proposal by Berg (or O'Connor) to post $500 or other amount of cash earnest money deposit upon the offering of the contract. Respondent Berg genuinely believed that anything of value could be inserted into a contract to provide consideration and could serve as sufficient consideration therefor including his offer to pay to the buyer a part of the real estate commission he would be entitled to with regard to that transaction Neither Respondents Berg nor O'Connor made any representations or statements, verbally or written, to Louis Knetter or Emanuel Consalvo to the effect that there ever was an earnest money deposit in any amount posted by the purchaser Berg, or on account at O'Connor Realty. Kevin O'Connor, the son of Respondent O'Connor, is also a licensed real estate broker who holds a degree in the field of real estate. He established that the textbook practice and indeed, the general real estate industry custom or practice in the Charlotte County area allows for anything of value to be used as consideration for a real estate contract and that a cash earnest money deposit is not necessary. He established the industry practice with regard to the posting of earnest money deposits for real estate sales contracts and demonstrated that unless a contract, by its terms, clearly indicates that an earnest money deposit has been posted, there is no basis for a seller or his agent to assume that to be the case. Kevin O'Connor, a witness for the Respondents, had personal contact with the seller's agent, Emanuel Consalvo, regarding the transaction and established that the Respondent Edward M. O'Connor was not even in his office or in the area during the time of the contract proposal or offer. Kevin O'Connor was operating the office in the Respondent Edward O'Connor's absence. Kevin 0'Connor established that the question of an earnest money deposit was never discussed with Consalvo and that neither Consalvo nor Knetter ever raised a question during the pendency of the transaction concerning the existence of an earnest money deposit. Kevin O'Connor never told Consalvo that any money was in escrow nor did Respondent Berg or Edward O'Connor. No representation was ever made to Consalvo or Knetter, singly or jointly, to the effect that any money had been placed on deposit or in escrow with regard to either of the two offers. Indeed, Mr. Consalvo acknowledged that no one at 0'Connor Realty ever told him of any money being placed in an escrow account. The transaction ultimately failed to close because the seller failed to include all the furniture with the home as required by the contract. At that juncture, the seller demanded the supposed $500 earnest money deposit to be paid him as a forfeiture on the mistaken belief that an earnest money deposit had been posted with regard to the transaction. Such was not the case however, nor was it ever represented to be the case.
Recommendation Having considered the foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, the evidence of record, the candor and demeanor of the witnesses, and the pleadings and arguments of the parties, it is, therefore RECOMMENDED that the complaint filed by Petitioner against Respondents William Berg and Edward M. 0'Connor t/a O'Connor Realty, be DISMISSED in its entirety.

Findings Of Fact Upon consideration of the relevant oral and documentary evidence adduced at the hearing, the following pertinent facts are found: Respondent Charles Shane was formerly employed by IREC, Inc. (International Real Estate Consultants). His assigned duties were administrative in nature and included the performance of research and field work pertaining to appraisals. It was not one of his assigned duties to procure appraisals and his salary was not contingent upon the appraisals performed by IREC, Inc. By application dated January 22, 1973, respondent Shane applied to the Florida Real Estate Commission for registration as a real estate salesman. By certificate number 0117007, Shane was registered as a real estate salesman effective December 20, 1973. He is presently registered as a non-active salesman. By letter dated January 9, 1973, on IREC stationary, respondent Shane, signing as Vice President, wrote a letter to John R. Vereen stating that, upon acceptance by Vereen, IREC would conduct a market value appraisal of certain property for a compensation of $2,500.00. This letter bears the handwritten notation "cancelled with no liability 3/5/73." On March 5, 1973, respondent Shane, again signing as Vice President of IREC on IREC stationary, wrote a letter to Mr. Vereen stating "I will conduct a market value appraisal. . ." of the same property as that described in the January 9th letter for a compensation of $2,500.00. The checks in payment of this amount were made payable to respondent Shane individually and not to IREC, Inc. As indicated by Exhibits 6,7,10,11,12 and 13, appraisal reports were submitted to various entities on dates ranging from December 29, 1971, through March 20, 1973. The cover letters are each signed by respondent Shane as Vice- President and by one other person as "M.A.I. Consultant." These reports contain several pages concerning the qualifications of the appraiser. Respondent Shane's qualifications are included. Mr. Edward Waronker, who co-signed five of the six reports listed above, did not write or prepare the reports. It was Waronker's duty as an independent appraiser for IREC to inspect the property and review the appraisal reports prepared. A letter on IREC stationary dated July 23, 1974, from respondent Shane makes reference to a June 19, 1973, appraisal report. In such letter, Mr. Shane states "I have reviewed the referenced appraisal, which was conducted under my direction as of June 19, 1973." As noted above, respondent Shane did not appear at the hearing and therefore no evidence was offered in his behalf. A "petition for mitigation" was filed with the Real Estate Commission stating that respondent did not sign the appraisal reports with any intention of holding himself out as an appraiser or salesman. In summary, said petition states that respondent Shane signed these documents as the person of the corporation and not as a real estate appraiser or broker and that, had he been fully informed of the Florida real estate law, "he would not have continued in the manner that he did." Respondent Richard W. King has been registered with the Florida Real Estate Commission since 1957 and, prior to the instant complaint, has never been cited for a violation of the statutes, rules or regulations governing brokers or salesmen. Respondent King was employed with IREC, Inc. in June of 1973. According to the testimony, the registration of IREC and King was not approved by the Real Estate Commission until October of 1973. From the time that respondent King went to work with IREC, he had effective control and supervision of all appraisals performed by IREC. To King's knowledge, respondent Shane was never involved in the decision-making process surrounding appraisal work, and did not sign appraisal reports after June of 1973.
Recommendation Based upon the findings of fact and conclusions of law recite above, it is recommended that: the registration of respondent Charles Shane be suspended for a period of three (3) months; and the charges relating to respondent Richard King be dismissed. Respectfully submitted and entered this 10th day of September, 1976, in Tallahassee, Florida. DIANE D.

Findings Of Fact The Respondent, Nelye Bunch, is a licensed real estate broker, having been issued license number 0315615. The Respondent, AA Real Estate, Inc., of Kissimmee, is a licensed corporate real estate broker, having been issued license number 0214153. In December of 1980, Grace Makuch, a licensed real estate salesperson, entered into an employment agreement with the Respondents, whereby Grace Makuch became employed as a real estate salesperson in the brokerage office of the Respondents. Pursuant to this employment, Grace Makuch and the Respondents entered into an oral agreement in which Grace Makuch would be compensated by receiving 60 percent of the selling broker's commission on every real estate sale she brought into the office. On or about March 6, 1981, Grace Makuch negotiated a contract for the sale of real property on Nova Road in Osceola County, Florida, between Earl Croft and his wife, as sellers, and Larry Henninger, as buyer, for $96,200. This transaction closed in April of 1981. The Respondents received the real estate commission due, in the amount of $4,810, and paid Grace Makuch $1,154.40. Under the employment agreement, Grace Makuch should have been paid $2,886. Demand for the balance due of $1,731.60 has been made by Grace Makuch and her attorney, but nothing further has been paid by the Respondents. In February of 1981, Grace Makuch negotiated a contract for the sale of real property on Donegan Avenue in Kissimmee, Florida, between Michael F. Sweeney, Trustee, as seller, and Dominick Tattoli and his wife, as buyers, for $115,000. This transaction closed in May of 1981. The Respondents received the real estate commission due, in the amount of $5,000 and tendered to Grace Makuch a check for $250. Under the employment agreement, Grace Makuch should have been paid $3,000; thus, she refused to accept the check for $250. Demand for the full amount of her share of the commission on this transaction in the amount of $3,000 has been made by Grace Makuch and her attorney, but nothing has been paid by the Respondents.
Recommendation From the foregoing findings of fact and conclusions of law, it is RECOMMENDED that license number 0315615 held by Nelye Bunch, be revoked. It is further RECOMMENDED that license number 0214153 held by AA Real Estate, Inc., of Kissimmee, be revoked. THIS RECOMMENDED ORDER entered this 8 day of October, 1982, in Tallahassee, Florida.

Findings Of Fact Respondent Gladys A. Gibbons is licensed as a real estate broker by the Florida Real Estate Commission under license number 0031192 and has been so licensed at all times material to this case. During such time she was employed as the broker for Gregoire-Gibbons, Inc. Respondent Dorothy M. Comolli is licensed as a real estate salesman under license number 00336387 issued by the Florida Real Estate Commission and has been so licensed at all times material to this case. During the period in question here she was employed by Gregoire- Gibbons, Inc. and was supervised by Respondent Gladys A. Gibbons. On March 3, 1981 Ms. Dorothy Hawks listed her residential property located at 2349 Third Avenue North, St. Petersburg, Florida, for sale with Mr. Gerald O'Conner, a real estate salesman employed by Humpe Roney, Inc., in St. Petersburg, Florida. On July 1, 1981 Respondent Dorothy Comolli called Mr. O'Conner to tell him that she had a contract on Ms. Hawks' property. The offer which Ms. Comolli presented on behalf of Ms. Hortense Willoughby was an option to purchase with a lease. When the offer was presented to Ms. Hawks she demurred about the option and counteroffered with a lease and a contract for sale which provided for closing within one year. On a document entitled Real Estate Purchase and Sale Agreement dated July 1, 1981 the parties negotiated the terms of the property sale. Their handwritten amendments to the form contract were later incorporated into a real estate purchase and sale agreement dated July 14, 1981 which was executed by Ms. Willoughby but never signed by Ms. Hawks. With respect to the rental portion of the transaction the first contract was a receipt for deposit and agreement to lease dated July 19, 1981 presented through Ms. Comolli with a promissory note in the amount of $500 attached as a security deposit for the last month's rent on Ms. Hawks' house. The text of the receipt recited that the lease was for a period of one year with monthly payments of $500 a month to begin on August 15, 1981. It further provided for $200 "security" plus $500 for the last month's rent in a three-month promissory note. Both the note and the receipt for deposit and agreement to lease were presented by Ms. Comolli to Carol Denker at Humpe Roney, Inc. Ms. Denker had taken over Ms. Hawks' account due to the vacation of Mr. O'Connor. In addition to these documents Ms. Comolli gave Ms. Denker $200 as an earnest money deposit on the sale of the house. Ms. Denker in turn gave Ms. Comolli a receipt for the $200 but later returned the $200 to Ms. Comolli as it is customary for the agent of the purchaser to hold the deposit. The form of the promissory note and the receipt for deposit and agreement to lease were not acceptable to Ms. Denker. She had been instructed that promissory notes witnessed by a realtor were a bad business practice and were not acceptable to Humpe Roney, Inc. Ms. Denker therefore gave Ms. Comolli a promissory note form acceptable to Humpe Roney for Ms. Willoughby to execute. Ms. Denker then attempted to contact Ms. Hawks to let her know about the promissory note but was not able to reach her. On July 21, 1981 Humpe Roney prepared on its forms, a contract for sale of real estate and a receipt for deposit and contract for lease. The record is not clear why Humpe Roney wanted the contracts rewritten. After they had been redrawn Ms. Comolli picked them up, had Ms. Willoughby sign them, and returned them to Humpe Roney for Ms. Hawks' signature. These two documents which were executed by Ms. Willoughby and Ms. Hawks finally constituted the agreement between the two parties. Neither document recites that the last month's rent would be paid by Ms. Willoughby in the form of a promissory note. The record is not clear why the final contracts as redrawn by Humpe Roney did not reflect the $500 promissory note. The deletion of any mention of the note was not at the request of either Respondent and does not appear to have been done intentionally by Humpe Roney. At no time was Ms. Hawks aware that a promissory note would be provided instead of cash for the last month's rent. Ms. Willoughby moved into the house on August 4, 1981. She stayed there for the months of August, September and October and part of November when she defaulted on the promissory note which was due on November 15, 1981. Upon her default she was evicted from the house. She is still in default on the promissory note and has no funds with which to pay it. When Ms. Hawks made a demand upon Gregoire-Gibbons for the $200 earnest money deposit plus the $500 last month's rent she received $200 and the $500 note. 2/
