Who enforces the laws and rules for real estate agents?Each state creates their own laws and rules regarding licensing. In Nevada, real estate agents obtain a license from the Nevada Real Estate Division. They can be contacted at 702-486-4033 in Las Vegas or 775-687-4280 in Carson City. Back to TopWhat types of licenses are available?Three unique licenses are available. The types are :
Back to TopWhat requirements are there for licensing?Candidates must take real estate pre-licensing education, pass a state examination, find a Broker to hang their license, fill out an application and fingerprint cards. During the application process, the Division will investigate any criminal records or previous real estate offenses. Back to TopWhat education is required?It depends on which license your are applying for. All salespeople must show evidence of having completed a 90-hour pre-licensing course including:
The 90-hour course can be taken in any state, as long as the applicant can prove they took it with transcripts or certificates. If the applicant took a 90-hour course in a state other than Nevada, the Nevada Real Estate Division typically requires applicants to take only 18-hour Nevada law from a licensed school and the 45-hour Broker Management course if they are applying for a broker or broker-salesperson license. Broker and Broker/Salesperson applicants must also show evidence of having completed 64-college credits and a 45-hour Broker Management course; 64-college credits covers 24 credits in real estate and business related topics, and 40 credits in anything, or 8-years full-time experience in real estate or combination. Full-time experience means 30-hours per week for 48-weeks per year. Each 2-years of experience are equal to 16-college credits. Back to TopIs experience required?2-years full-time experience is required to become a Broker. A broker-salesperson can work as a broker-salesperson until they obtain the 2-years experience. Then the licensee may apply for a broker's license without retesting. Back to TopHow much does it cost to become a real estate licensee?The costs are as follows:
Back to TopWhat is the advantage of being a broker/salesperson rather than a salesperson?A broker/salesperson has already passed the broker's state examination rather than the salesperson's state examination. If they want to become a broker in the future, after they obtain the 2-years full-time experience, they do not need to sit for the state examination, because they have already successfully passed the state examination. They need only apply to become a broker. They can also manage an office. Back to TopAuthor: Cindy Weber.
