The Nevada Real Estate Division publishes real estate license statistics on a quarterly basis.  I last published October’s numbers for licensed agents in Washoe County.  Today I updated the table with January’s numbers.  As expected the number of active licensees has declined since last quarter…by 72 agents.  Because we had 3,176 agents in October, a reduction of 72 agents represents a 2.3% decline.

The number of inactive agents increased only by eight agents, so 64 agents have left the business entirely during the last quarter.  That’s equivalent to two agents every three days
