Kyle Waugh is the CEO of Waugh & Associates. He has also been the exclusive broker for the Opus, Pinnacle Las Vegas, Echelon and Summit developments. Kyle has over twenty years of experience in real estate and business development in his native city, Las Vegas. He is an entrepreneur at heart, with a deep and longstanding passion for real estate. At the age of 18, Kyle passed his series 7 and enjoyed early success as a stockbroker. At age 19, he pursued his entrepreneurial calling, and launched, expanded and sold a succession of flourishing, profitable startup ventures. Following these accomplishments and consistent with his interests, Kyle was drawn to the entrepreneurial aspects of real estate, and entered the industry as an investor.
In 2002, following eight successful years as a real estate investor, Kyle was recruited by Prudential Americana Group Realtors to manage its flagship office. In this role, he promptly increased office productivity and recruitment – personally signing up over 100 new agents. Late in 2003, Kyle resigned his management position and actively pursued real estate sales at Prudential Americana Group. In 2004, he achieved total personal production of over $100 million, was distinguished as one of the top three agents within the Prudential Americana organization, and received numerous professional awards and accolades – including recognition for being in the top 1% of all real estate professionals nationwide.

He was contracted as the exclusive Broker for Opus, Pinnacle, Echelon and Summit developments, selling over $250 million in real estate in 2006 alone.

Kyle brings to any initiative, extensive direct experience in sales and marketing. Among his many strengths are his abilities to recognize and attract talent, coalesce that talent into a powerful team, and ensure that they accomplish what may seemingly be the impossible.
In 2008, Kyle partnered with BridgePoint Ventures to open BridgePoint Ventures West for the purposes of recruiting and training, increasing sales and expanding the company’s partner base, analyzing and auditing the developers’ retail sales and marketing plans, and assessing product absorption.
