Anthem Country Club, Anthem Highlands in Las Vegas/ Henderson--Real Estate



On the south side of Henderson, NV in the middle of the Anthem Hills, the Anthem Country Club community is waiting for new residents. There are over 1,600 homes in this area, and they range in price from $500,000 on the low end to high-end properties worth as much as $2.5 million. HOA fees also apply. This is a guard-gated community, so you'll know it's safe. 

There are several fantastic schools on he north end of this neighborhood, including the Henderson International School, Del E. Webb Middle School, and Frank Lamping Elementary School, which are part of the Clark County School District. Near the middle school is Anthem Hills Park, which not only has plenty of recreational opportunities for you and your family, but the park stretches into the scenic hills themselves, offering incredible hiking. When it comes to your everyday needs, Anthem Plaza and Anthem Village Center, which are both on the northwest side of the neighborhood, offer a bank, restaurants, a grocery store, and other specialty businesses for you to enjoy. 

If you're a golfer, you're definitely in luck. There are actually three golf courses in close vicinity, including the Rio Secco Golf Course just west of the Anthem community. Just off of this course is the Butch Harmon School of Golf, where you can learn the game's best tricks from one of America's finest teachers. Just southwest of the community is the Revere Golf Club, an exquisite 18-hole course that gives you the perfect blend of challenges, scenery, and a great overall game. 

The star of this area, however, is the Anthem Country Club. This 18-hole par-72 course was designed by Hale Irwin, and offers five sets of tees, some of the best panoramic scenes in the Las Vegas area, and full practice facilities. It's a private club, but they love to get new members. There's also a large fitness center with everything you'll need to stay in shape, and personal trainers who can help design an exercise plan around your needs. You'll also get to enjoy the tropical-themed outdoor area, with several pools and spas, private walking trails, and your choice of sand volleyball or tennis courts.

8 Steps to Buying a Home- Las Vegas Real Estate Home Search

8 Steps to Buying a Home- Las Vegas Real Estate Home Search


Step 1: Decide to Buy


The decision to purchase your first home is one of the biggest and best choices you could ever make. After all, a home is the largest - and most emotional - investment most people will face in their lifetime. So, how do you know if it's the right time for you to buy?


There is never a wrong time to buy the right home. The key is finding the right buy and taking the time to carefully evaluate your finances.


A home purchase is an important step that can provide many advantages. Purchasing your own home is a great investment that can deliver several financial benefits - equity build up, value appreciation, automatic savings plan - not to mention a new sense of pride!


Start looking at your options today. You don't have to know everything. Your Keller Williams agent is ready to help you through every step of the process.

Step 2: Hire Your Agent


When you're looking for a real estate professional to help you, know that above all else, good agents put their clients first. This is your dream, and your agent is your advocate to help you make your dream come true.

A great real estate agent will:

1.      Educate you about the current conditions of the market.

2.      Analyze what you want and what you need in your next home.

3.      Co-ordinate the work of other needed professionals throughout the process.

4.      Guide you to homes that fit your criteria and budget.

5.      Negotiate on your behalf to get you the best deal possible.

6.      Check and double-check paperwork and deadlines.

7.      Inform and discuss with you, and suggest solutions to solve any problems that may arise.



To make the financing process as painless as possible, ask your agent to introduce you to the preferredfinancing consultant. This professional will work with you and your agent to make sure the financial aspect of your home purchase is stress free.

What will the consultant do for you?

1.      Review your current financials.

2.      Discuss the options available to you during the home purchasing process.

3.      Guide you to an appropriate price point.

4.      Negotiate on your behalf to get you the best deal - price, interest rates, loan approval.

5.      Keep you informed and updated of the entire financial process throughout your purchase.

Step 4: Find Your Home


So you've met with your trusted advisors, and now you're ready to begin your search. But how or where do you start? There are a lot of homes out there, and diving in without a guide can become overwhelming and confusing. Your Keller Williams agent will help you more accurately pinpoint homes that fit your criteria. The right home will meet all your important needs, and as many of your additional wants as possible.

Some questions you might ask yourself include:

  1. What amenities are crucial for you and your family?
  2. How much space do you need and why?
  3. Which is more critical: location or size?
  4. Would you be interested in a fixer-upper?
  5. How important is home value appreciation?
  6. Is neighborhood stability a priority?
  7. Is accessibility to main routes a priority?
  8. What features are not negotiable in your new property?

You'll learn as you look at homes, your priorities will probably adjust along the way.

Step 5: Make an Offer


Once you've found a home you love, the next step is deciding on a price. It's important to remember that a home is an investment. Your agent can give you information on other properties in the neighborhood to help you ensure you make an informed decision when it comes to price. Look to your agent to explain and guide you through the offer process.

Some things to consider when deciding on the best price point are:

  1. List price - Start with the price point that the home is listed at. This will give you a base when looking at the home's value.
  2. Market Analysis - Your agent will give you an idea of comparable home values in the neighborhood to help you decide if the price point is on par.
  3. Improvements - Your agent can give you a list of improvements made to the home and help you determine its market value.

Step 6: Perform Due Diligence


Your agent will provide you with improvements and challenges within your home. This way you'll know what you are getting into before you complete the purchase.

Knowing what work has and has not been done to your home is important information to have in the buying process. While updates can increase your home value, damages can take money out of your pocket. Your main concern is the possibility of structural damage, which can come from water, shifting ground or poor construction.

Very often a problem appears to be big, but can be fixed with very little effort and not a huge budget.

Step 7: Close


Once you've determined a price point you're comfortable with, you're in the "home" stretch! But, in order to ensure that you don't put the property purchase at risk, you have a couple responsibilities that you'll need to keep in mind:

1.      Staying in control of your credit and finances - Do not make any large purchases during this time. It's important to keep your financials steady throughout the buying process. Talk to your financial consultant for guidance.

2.      Keeping in touch with your agent and financial consultant - It's important to stay in constant communication with your Keller Williams agent and financial guide during this process. Be sure to return all phone calls and complete paperwork promptly. Also, don't be afraid to ask questions. Your team is there to help you!

Step 8: Protect Your Investment


Congratulations, and welcome home! The home-buying process is complete, which means it's time for your maintenance plan! It's now your responsibility, and in your best financial interest, to protect your investment for years to come. Performing routine maintenance on your home's systems is always more affordable than having to fix big problems later. Be sure to watch for signs of leaks, damage and wear.

And remember, just because the sale is complete, your relationship with your Keller Williams agent doesn't need to end! After you buy, your agent can still help you - providing information on the real estate market, finding contractors and repair services, and even tracking your home's current value.

Happy home-owning!

Are the Neighbors watching?




Are the Neighbors watching?

Mr. Wilson seemed to have a pretty good view of Tim Taylor's back yard. It's not quite the same here in Vegas with Brick Walls. Who even speaks to their neighbor’s anymore? Can you truthfully say you don't go straight into your garage and close the door before getting out of the car, just to avoid the neighbors? What if we made a conscious effort to do just the opposite? To say hello? To waive as you pass by? To stop a neighbor and chat as they walk the dog? Or pick up the mail? In this time of technology do we even friend our neighbors or do we care about their well being? “Watching your neighbors” and Neighborhood Watch can be one in the same if it's not done to be malicious or creepy, it is about caring about your neighbors and your neighborhood.

"Neighborhood Watch is an organized group of neighbors who observe more closely any activity or situation that depreciates the appearance or safety of their community. Neighborhood Watch is, as the name implies, a group of people who see the subtle, and not so subtle changes of their neighborhood. They simply observe and report violations of ordinances and laws to the proper enforcement agencies.

Neighborhood Watch simply consists of neighbors who watch. They report everything from crimes in progress to graffiti buildup in their neighborhood. If you are interested in becoming an active member of Neighborhood Watch call the Area Command providing police service to your neighborhood.

Neighborhood Watch is one of the oldest and most recognized programs to help neighborhoods in the fight against crime and other quality of life issues. Neighbors who choose working together, and with their police department, is a benefit for all involved.

Join the hundreds of neighborhoods already benefiting from this crime prevention effort.

You CAN make a difference!"
