   Gone are the days when most  real estate agents making 2 or 3 sales a year can be successful.

    There are over 950 sales agents are in the local Nevada Board of Realtors.  With sales at about 660 home sales from the first of the year to current, and about 150 agents doing 60% of the business this leaves about 250 homes divided between 800 agents.

   The only ones that really from those 800 agents, are those Brokers charging them desk rent.
