Becoming an agent in Las Vegas

[Nick Cikity]

So I've decided to seek my agents license in Las Vegas Nevada. I'm still in the early stages of my classes and I wanted to reach out to the forums with some questions. What are some pros and cons you've seen as a new agent? Anything I should focus primarily on in the beginning? And I'm wondering if just having my real estate sales license, can I have other agents working for me directly or on a team of mine? Or do I need a broker/ broker associate license for that? 

Thank you in advance for any insight.

@Brad Bellstedt Thank you for a phenomenal response. I'm currently looking up these contracts thanks to your recommendation. I also feel the need to complete a few transactions on my own before even consider actually forming a team, however the fact that I now know I can form a team as soon as I'd like is great! I'm curious to see the actual ins and outs of who and what kind of referrals float around in this industry and what kind of business/ income in generates. I will certainly have to get used to the "on-call" lifestyle again, I've done it once before in a separate profession but it was nothing compared to what I expect from being an agent. Picking a brokerage is a HUGE part of my process right now, I'm not necessarily looking for the best splits but decent splits and great training sounds fantastic. And it's so funny you gave KW as an example, I was just looking for the cap rate of theirs here in Vegas and I couldn't find it. Thank you for sharing that with me.

Thank you again for the response, also we are friends on facebook and I would really enjoy speaking with you further about the industry, I see your posts often and you are absolutely getting after it here in town and I find it inspiring. I'm on messenger as well, if it'd be alright for me to reach out please message me, I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to get to know you better professionally. Thank you.
