Artesia buyer guide · Before an offer

Verify the details for the exact address.

A neighborhood can feel right while two homes inside it have very different documents, improvements, costs, and risks. Use this checklist to investigate the property—not just the listing.

Check property-specific details before relying on a listing.

01

Parcel & lot

Confirm the parcel boundaries, recorded lot size, zoning, easements, and any planned improvements.

02

Utilities

Verify water, sewer, electric, waste service, connection status, equipment, and fees for the exact address.

03

Association documents

Review current governing documents, assessments, fees, rules, and resale disclosures before purchasing.

04

Home condition

Use qualified inspectors and specialists to evaluate the home, systems, permits, additions, and site improvements.

05

Insurance

Ask current providers about availability, coverage, and cost for the specific property before purchasing.

06

Schools & travel

Confirm current school assignments, transportation, and actual drive times from the home you are considering.

Print the worksheet that matches where you are in the buying process.

Understanding each milestone helps you prepare for the decisions, documents, and deadlines ahead.

  1. 01

    Tour & compare

    Set price, financing, timing, and protections around the property details.

  3. 03

    Inspect & review

    Complete inspections and review disclosures, title, and association documents.

  4. 04

When the documents arrive

Read past the cover page.

The seller-completed disclosure describes known property conditions, while the Artesia resale package explains the association, its finances, and the rules attached to ownership. Neither replaces inspections, record review, or other buyer due diligence.

01

Costs & assessments

Confirm current dues, special assessments, transfer fees, account-opening charges, and any other expected owner costs.

02

Financial health

Review the association budget, year-to-date financial statement, reserve summary, and plans for major shared expenses.

03

Rules & property use

Read the rules for parking, rentals, pets, architectural changes, landscaping, and the improvements you may want later.

04

Claims & obligations

Look for pending litigation, unsatisfied judgments, owner balances, violations, and obligations that could affect the property.

Nevada law generally allows a purchaser to cancel in writing until midnight of the fifth calendar day after receiving the resale package. Confirm applicability, receipt date, and the required notice method and deadline in the transaction with your agent or Nevada attorney.
