The process
Five steps that never change
Pre-approval first
Get pre-approved before touring. In a market where well-priced homes move fast, the pre-approved buyer holds the negotiating advantage.
Pick the communities, not just the house
Henderson choices work backward from lifestyle: gates, golf, schools, commute, HOA budget and home age. The community guides on this site are built exactly for this step.
Offer with the full monthly picture
Price is only half the math. HOA fees, taxes, SID/LID assessments and insurance change the monthly cost by hundreds of dollars between similar-priced homes.
Inspect everything
AC age, irrigation, pool equipment, roof and foundation; on new builds, pre-drywall and final inspections. The inspection hours are the cheapest insurance in the process.
Close clean, then protect
Review all closing documents, calendar the new-home warranty deadlines, and register to vote in Clark County once the address is settled.
