Which of the following would not prevent a real estate license from being issued?

  1. Having a criminal record

  2. Lack of experience

  3. The applicant being only 18 years old

  4. Not having a sponsoring broker

The correct answer is: The applicant being only 18 years old

While all the other options could potentially prevent a real estate license from being issued, being 18 years old is not a disqualifying factor. Having a criminal record, lack of experience, and not having a sponsoring broker can all be grounds for denying a real estate license. However, being 18 years old does not automatically disqualify someone from obtaining a real estate license. In fact, many states allow individuals as young as 18 to obtain a real estate license as long as they meet all the other requirements. Therefore, option C is the correct answer as it is the only option that does not necessarily prevent a real estate license from being issued.
