If you have much experience with selling your house, you probably have your own ideas about what has seemed to be the preparations that made the most difference with the least trouble and expense. Here are three you might not have used before: Closets – every now and then you’ll see clutter-clearing advice that emphasizes [...]
Henderson home sellers are sure to hear one piece of advice again and again: “declutter.” It’s the simplest of concepts; not in the least controversial. Nobody could convincingly argue that Henderson homes whose rooms are populated with bric-a-brac are more likely to attract buyers than are those without. That’s just common sense. Which raises its [...]
You can find how-to books with strategies laying out do-it-yourself strategies for transforming a property into a “luxury” home. Likewise, there are scads of online lists of imaginative touches that imply they will do the same. The idea is certainly appealing (but so is anti-gravity and time travel). But of course, the fact is that [...]
If you try to predict what Henderson real estate activity is likely to be based on only our local activity, you soon find what causes statisticians to turn up their noses: the sample size is simply too small to project reliable trends. That’s why serious Henderson observers look to the incoming real estate activity stats [...]
When the name “Deloitte” is attached to futuristic predictions about any kind of industrial matters, most Henderson readers grow less skeptical than would otherwise be the case. After all, Deloitte’s quarter-million financial services professionals earn their keep by accurately advising enterprises worldwide on which way the commercial wind is going to be blowing five, ten, [...]
The “5-Year Rule” as it applies to Henderson homes listed for sale is a pretty good one, as far as real estate rules-of-thumb go.

The best real estate agent schooling isn’t something that takes place in a classroom. That kind of school is necessary, of course, because some of the most important work every Henderson real estate agent does have to do with being intimately familiar with the letter of current state laws and Department of Real Estate strictures. [...]
If you happened upon the Weather Channel’s site last week and were greeted with headlines like, “Massive Heat Dome Inbound” and “Excessive Heat in the East and West,” it could have let you feel better about Henderson’s own weather. After all, what do you expect from August in Henderson? At least we weren’t under a [...]
If you set your sites on selling your Henderson home in short order for the best price, one of the most reliable ways to add to your effort is to introduce effective home staging. If you have the requisite artistic flair and some time to devote to the project, you can try your hand at [...]
Exactly what makes a house “big”? That’s a judgment call, for sure. In Henderson, houses that are 4,000 square feet or larger would certainly be considered “big,” “spacious,” “ample,” “accommodating,” etc. Most families can get along quite nicely with the U.S. average of 2,600—so even Henderson houses with 3,000 square feet can be [...]
Henderson’s week starts off with a celestial milestone. Our grade school teachers told us to call this point in the calendar a “solstice.” There are two each year, and this is the summer one. If there had been one of those models of the solar system in the room, the teacher would [...]
A mega-proportion of serious Henderson house hunters ultimately decide it makes the most sense to team up with a real estate professional to get the job done.
