I am leaving Los Angeles and moving back to Las Vegas after the first of the year..I cannot handle how much it costs to live here....I want to go to a real estate school in Las Vegas....does anyone have any suggestions?? Thanks!!
I got my real estate license here in Las Vegas last October and it expires at the end of this month and I'm not going to renew it. Everyone LAST year was like It's going to be great here in 6 months and it's been a year and it's still dead.
Yea...don't get into real estate. I got my license a two years ago, and finally let it expire. It will cost you at least $1500 to get it. Then you have to pay office fees and a commission split. Everyone knows at least 2 or 3 real estate agents. Factor in a declining, slow housing market, and you will be eating Top Ramon and PB&J. If you coming to Vegas, get on with a big casino, work in one of the many non-casino related industries. Check out craigslist job postings. You don't have to be a dealer, waitress, or real estate agent, there are other good paying jobs here. By all means, if that is what you want, go for it. Just be ready for a rough start. At last count, there were over 19,000 real estate agents in Nevada...do I need to tell you where 75% of them live and work? To comment on the below person's post. Yea, you can take an online course for $350, but you will then have to take your test which is about $100-$120 then you have to pay your dues for MLS, GLVAR, and NAR. I had to write a check out for $1200 once I passed my test.
