paul henderson: SOLD! On Market for 229 days with other agent, I sold it in 10 days... - 12/18/12 10:48 AM
When a seller calls you up and requests your services, you feel two things; gratitude and obligation. I know the other agent and he is top notch however sometimes a listing needs a different approach and attitude.I went through all my steps and got the house back on the market. Ten days after listing the house and after several showings; we found a family who jumped and made an offer. After we accepted the first offer we got a back up offer also.The secret is blogging with ActiveRain and to get as much attention as possible for the listing!1770 S 19th … (3 comments)

paul henderson: Do you require the selling agent be at all showings and inspections? - 10/12/12 08:31 AM
I feel it is my job to show my listings to interested Buyers, after all, I work for the Seller and their home. When you sell recreation and retirement property, such as Hartstene Pointe, you find that Buyer's agents, even local agents, always have something else more important to do than drive a long ways to show property. However if your property peeks the client's interest and they decide to write an offer, they want a full commission; even if they never set foot in the house or view the property.
The answer for most Listing Agents is put in the Agent Remarks, Selling … (8 comments)

paul henderson: Don't Just list your property, sell your property! - 09/04/12 05:55 PM
One of the biggest mistakes I see selling real estate at Harstene Pointe is that people wait until after the summer is over to place their house or property on the market. After all, this is all about recreation for 75% of the owners at the Pointe.
This can be out of the frustration of not using said property for the whole summer and because of this fact, they decide just to sell it. The problem I often see with this philosophy is that buyers want to be able to use their newly purchased property during the good weather, namely the summer. … (20 comments)

paul henderson: Will the world end this year? The ActiveRain connection... - 05/03/12 09:57 AM
Proof positive or is it?
Last night I found myself reading about the Maya calendar or series of calendars. There wasn't just one calendar but at least four. The calendar that the Maya used was supposed to have lasted 5126 years or at least the first cycle does. The Mayan's set the beginning of time to be the year 3114 BC if translated to our modern Gregorian calendar. Many proclaim that because the cycle of this calender ends this year, so does the world!
Can you imagine a calendar maker today producing a calendar that lasted 5126 years? That really boggles … (8 comments)

paul henderson: Are your client's color blind or are they blinded by the color? - 04/27/12 08:20 AM
Is your client color blind or are they blinded by the color?
Does the color of your house really matter when trying to buy a house? It matters to some buyers!
I've had buyers in my car and we pull up in front of a house that meets or exceeds all of their criteria (including price) yet the color of the house is the big turnoff. One client would not even get out of the car because of the color of the house.
I try to explain that the color of the house can be changed, we can even make … (5 comments)

paul henderson: Silent Saturday, Why golf? - 04/14/12 11:56 AM
Golf is a matter of confidence. If you think you cannot do it, there's no chance you will.
Henry Cotton
I have learned so much about life and business through the game of golf. The Zen is lost on those who constantly hit down the middle of the fairway. I get so many more swings for my buck =]

paul henderson: My gas don't stink... - 04/13/12 10:40 AM
The State of Washington (as of April 1st) just enacted a law that requires all residential properties to have a working Carbon Monoxide alarm installed before OR at the time of closing. Carbon Monoxide, is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that is slightly lighter than air. It has been shown to be toxic to humans and animals when encountered in higher concentrations.
No one has a problem with this measure however people are not understanding that unlike smoke detectors, Carbon Monoxide is a slightly lighter than air gas by product that builds from the floor up. A detector needs to be mounted within two … (8 comments)

paul henderson: Is our lingo confusing? - 04/12/12 09:52 AM
Make sure that your client knows the true meaning of what you are saying. We are so use to using real estate slang that sometimes the general public doesn't understand. Words like stale have different meanings to people outside of real estate.
I once had a client who I told that her house was beginning to get stale on the market. She misunderstood or I miss represented the meaning of stale.This lead to an abundance of air fresheners spread throughout her house. The conflicting smells were obnoxious to say the least. But her house was not stale any longer...

paul henderson: Watch out for slivers while you sit on that fence! - 04/11/12 04:14 PM
As my Assistant points out!
The difference between sleeping on a deal and snoring should be pointed out.
When you sit on a deal, usually by the next morning, you have an answer.
If you're snoring on a deal, someone is going to take advantage of your sitting on the fence too long.
Watch out for slivers while you sit on that fence!

paul henderson: Can you stop the ringing? - 04/04/12 11:03 PM
While striving to get through my continuing education credits for my license, it has become very apparent that our cell phone rule our lives (not to mention our business)!
Most of my classemates can't make it, 10 minutes into the class, before you see them grab their phone and look at the screen. I explain to all my active clients that will be in class from such and such a time till such and such a time. Please leave me a detailed message and I will get back to you during a break with the answer. Then I shut off my … (14 comments)

paul henderson: Don't just treat the symptoms, go after the problem itself! - 04/03/12 11:44 AM
It all started with a strange smell coming from the furnace room of our cabin at Hartstene Pointe. Now all of us know in our heart of hearts that a smell in the furnace room permeates the whole house. I am not a bloodhound however after smelling the same raunchy odor from more than one forced air register, I knew where to start my search.
As I opened the furnished room door the commotion began. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a raccoon leaping towards the door I had just opened. Screeching (not just me)! I did not … (15 comments)
