From New York City to Southern Nevada Real Estate
Craig Tann started his real estate career in New York City in 2003 before relocating to Southern Nevada in 2004 — a move that put him in one of the fastest-appreciating housing markets in the country and, shortly after, one of the hardest-hit during the financial crisis. That boom-and-bust education shaped how Tann built his own brokerage. He founded Huntington & Ellis in 2016 as an independent firm designed to operate without franchise fees, corporate overhead, or the constraints that come with national brand affiliations. The model attracted experienced agents who wanted more autonomy, better splits, and a brokerage that invested in local market knowledge rather than national advertising campaigns.
In less than a decade, Huntington & Ellis has grown to more than 120 agents across 16 teams. In 2025, the brokerage closed nearly 2,500 transactions totaling $1.44 billion in sales volume — making it one of the highest-producing independent brokerages in Nevada. Tann himself has been named to Vegas Inc’s 40 Under 40 list three times and has been featured by BBC News, the New York Times, and CNN for his commentary on the Las Vegas housing market. In 2025, the firm received the national Community Impact Champion Award, recognizing its involvement in local charitable and civic work. The office operates out of 9525 West Russell Road, in the southwest corridor that has become the center of gravity for Las Vegas real estate operations.
Huntington & Ellis in the Las Vegas Valley
Southern Nevada’s housing market operates differently from most major metros. Inventory is constrained by geography — the valley is ringed by federal land that cannot be developed — and demand is driven by a steady influx of California transplants, remote workers, and retirees drawn by the absence of a state income tax. That dynamic has made the Las Vegas market unusually competitive, particularly in luxury corridors like Summerlin, MacDonald Highlands, and Southern Highlands where Huntington & Ellis has established a strong presence. But the brokerage is not a luxury-only shop. Its agents handle transactions across the full valley, from first-time buyers in North Las Vegas to investors acquiring rental properties on the east side. Tann has built a firm that competes with national franchises on volume while retaining the responsiveness and local expertise that only an independent, founder-led brokerage can sustain.
