Real Estate Agent In Southern Highlands, 89141.

There is no official ranking, so judge on evidence you can check yourself. Ask how many Southern Highlands files the agent has worked, whether they read the HOA budget and the reserve study before you write an offer, and who tracks your paperwork once escrow opens. John Garcia is a Broker Associate with The Agency Las Vegas, licensed twelve years, with a marketing MBA and twenty years of contract work behind the negotiation. He takes a small number of files at a time so each one gets the attention a seven-figure transaction deserves, and a certified transaction coordinator handles deadlines and signatures from the day escrow opens. Call or text 714-875-7029 and ask him those questions before you decide.

You get pre-approved, we tour, and when you find the home we write an offer with terms suited to the current market. Once it is accepted you open escrow, which is a neutral third party holding funds and documents until the deed records with the Clark County Recorder. Standard contingencies cover inspection, appraisal, financing and the HOA resale package. Most purchases here close in 30 to 45 days, longer when a jumbo loan is involved. Never accept wiring instructions by email; call escrow at a number you looked up yourself.

Budget for lender fees, title and escrow charges, the Clark County real property transfer tax, prorated property taxes and the first year of insurance. Commission is negotiable and always has been. Since the 2024 industry settlement, buyer agent compensation is negotiated separately and written into a buyer agreement before we tour, so you will know the number before you see a single house. I walk you through that document line by line.

Every public campus belongs to the Clark County School District and attendance zones are assigned by street address, not by community. Campuses serving Southern Highlands include Charles and Phyllis Frias Elementary at 5800 Broken Top Avenue, Evelyn Stuckey Elementary at 4905 Chartan Avenue, Lois and Jerry Tarkanian Middle School at 5800 West Pyle Avenue and Desert Oasis High School at 6600 West Erie Avenue, which enrolled 3,300 students in 2024 to 2025. Southern Highlands Preparatory School is the private option inside the community. Always confirm the exact address at ccsd.net.

They are separate bills and neither is optional to understand. Most owners pay a master assessment to the Southern Highlands Community Association plus a sub-association assessment inside a gated enclave, and Nevada requires the seller to deliver a resale package containing the governing documents, the current budget and the reserve study. Read the reserve study, because private streets, gates and guardhouses live in that document and a thin reserve is a future special assessment. Southern Highlands Golf Club membership is a separate arrangement with its own initiation and dues. I request current figures in writing during your contingency period.

Yes, and a large share of buyers here do exactly that. I run video walkthroughs on your schedule, attend inspections on your behalf and send you the report the same day, and Nevada allows electronic signing for the contract documents. Most out-of-state buyers make one trip: they come to see the final two or three homes in person. I will also compare Southern Highlands honestly against the market you are leaving, including property tax treatment, insurance and utility cost through a desert summer.

It depends entirely on which part of 89141 you are buying in. In the volume villages, conventional, FHA and VA loans all work, and the Nevada Housing Division runs down payment assistance programs worth asking a lender about. Behind the golf club gates, most purchases are jumbo loans or cash. A jumbo loan is any mortgage above the conforming limit, and it carries stricter underwriting: larger reserves, more documentation and a slower appraisal on a home with few comparable sales. I am not a lender. Get fully underwritten rather than pre-qualified, because that is what makes an offer credible here.

No. Southern Highlands sits inside the unincorporated town of Enterprise in Clark County, even though the mailing address reads Las Vegas. That matters in practical ways: your water comes from the Las Vegas Valley Water District, sewer is billed by the Clark County Water Reclamation District, permits and code enforcement run through Clark County rather than a city hall, and policing is handled by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Enterprise Area Command on West Windmill Lane. It also means the tax district on your bill is a county district.

Six things beyond the standard inspection: roof age and warranty transferability, HVAC age because desert summers are hard on equipment, pool surface and equipment age, the irrigation system and whether the landscape has been converted to current watering rules, any stucco cracking on the west elevations, and the association's design guidelines governing what a neighbour may build or park. Get a written insurance quote during your contingency period rather than after it, and read the reserve study before you waive anything.

Nevada assesses property at 35 percent of taxable value rather than market value, and combined rates in unincorporated Clark County run roughly $2.75 to $3.35 per $100 of assessed value depending on your tax district. That puts the effective rate near 0.5 to 0.75 percent of market value. Under NRS 361.4723 the bill on a claimed primary residence cannot rise more than 3 percent a year, with a cap of up to 8 percent on everything else. File the Tax Cap Claim Form with the Clark County Assessor or the higher cap applies by default, and expect a supplemental bill after closing.

About 9 miles and roughly 15 minutes off-peak to the south end of the resort corridor, taking Southern Highlands Parkway east to Las Vegas Boulevard or north on Interstate 15 from the St. Rose Parkway or Silverado Ranch interchanges. Downtown Las Vegas and Fremont Street run about 16 miles and 20 to 25 minutes. Those are off-peak numbers. Convention weeks, event nights and the afternoon southbound build on I-15 change them considerably, so if you commute into the corridor daily, drive it once at your actual hour before you commit to an address.

Yes, two inside the community. The Cactus Jones Dog Park sits at the southeast corner of West Cactus Avenue and South Jones Boulevard with separate fenced areas for small and large dogs, a gazebo, benches, a water fountain and waste stations. A second fenced run sits beside the community fire station. Dogs are also welcome on The Paseo path and at Mountain's Edge Regional Park a few minutes west, on leash. The Southern Highlands Community Association maintains current park amenity listings, and hours shift seasonally with the heat.

Smith's Food and Drug at 10600 Southern Highlands Parkway is the closest full grocery, inside the Southern Highlands Marketplace and about five minutes from most addresses in the community. It carries a bakery, deli, pharmacy and a fuel station on the same lot. The same centre holds Walgreens for the pharmacy and convenience run. Beyond the community, the Silverado Ranch and Las Vegas Boulevard corridors add the larger warehouse and specialty options, and most households here shop the Marketplace simply because everything sits in one parking loop.

The community association maintains a set of parks linked by The Paseo, a paved walking and biking path that runs through the master plan. Olympia Sports Park, which opened in August 2018, carries lighted soccer fields, a full-size basketball court with six hoops, workout stations, a seasonal water play area and a hilltop trail with a view across the valley. Somerset Hills Park runs about 6.33 acres with two lighted tennis courts, and Goett Family Park holds the Jaynes Family Splash Park. For real desert, Exploration Peak at Mountain's Edge Regional Park is about ten minutes west.

Most of the neighbourhood dining sits on Southern Highlands Parkway. Nudo Italiano at 4390 West Cactus Avenue is the sit-down Italian room from restaurateurs Jenna and Michael Morton, Mama Bird Southern Kitchen at 10550 Southern Highlands Parkway runs Southern cooking daily from breakfast, and Le Cafe Du Sud at 11350 Southern Highlands Parkway handles the morning and lunch trade. Tuscan Cove Bar and Patio sits inside the Tuscan Highlands gates. Eight minutes east, South Point holds the Silverado Steak House and a set of casual rooms, plus a bowling centre and a cinema.

Take Southern Highlands Parkway east to Las Vegas Boulevard, then north to the airport connector, or use Interstate 15 north from the St. Rose Parkway interchange, roughly 11 miles and 15 to 20 minutes off-peak. Proximity to Harry Reid is one of the practical reasons this community attracts owners who travel weekly, and it is the single most common question I get from second-home buyers. Time it during a convention week before you assume the shorter number, because the southbound return in the late afternoon is the slow direction.
