Las Vegas brokerage FAQ

What's the difference between a real estate agent and a broker in Nevada?+

In Nevada, a salesperson holds an "S" license and must hang their license under a broker. A broker holds a "B" license, has additional experience and education requirements, and can supervise other agents and operate a brokerage. Stephen Tomes is a Nevada REALTOR® at Huntington & Ellis, A Real Estate Agency, where the firm's designated broker carries the brokerage license. License lookup: Nevada Real Estate Division.

Who is the broker behind Huntington & Ellis, A Real Estate Agency?+

Huntington & Ellis, A Real Estate Agency is a Las Vegas full-service residential brokerage. Stephen works the Las Vegas market personally as a REALTOR® member of GLVAR and NAR — every client transaction routes through the brokerage's designated broker for fiduciary oversight and trust-account compliance.

How are real estate commissions structured in Las Vegas after the 2024 NAR settlement?+

Listing commissions are negotiated in the listing agreement; buyer agent compensation is now negotiated separately in a buyer representation agreement before showings begin. Stephen will explain every fee and option in writing before you sign.

Can a single agent represent both buyer and seller in Nevada?+

Yes — it's called dual representation and is legal in Nevada with informed written consent from both parties under NRS 645.252. Stephen's standard practice is full written disclosure plus a signed dual-representation acknowledgment from both sides.

What's the current Las Vegas listing inventory?+

14,481 active Las Vegas listings on the GLVAR MLS right now, median list price $479,000. Roughly 17,312 closed in the last 12 months.
