I may wrong but it seems like all of the agents ive contacted have their own rules and kind of take of the listing and all want first last and security
No idea about Vegas, but when I used an agent here (Texas), it was just a regular run-of-the-mill realtor who showed properties listed on the MLS. I never got worried about deposit since the amounts were nominal even if they did require a first and last. Last time I had to deal with that stuff was before I turned 40 though...
And since the agent was working for ME, they were also working for themselves since, at least here, basically half a month's lease payment was the typical commission (with half going to the listing agent). Thus there was incentive to make the deal come to fruition...
