Henderson, a former U.S. Navy pilot, holds a B.S. in Economics from UC Berkeley and an M.S. in Finance from the Naval Postgraduate School, with additional executive education from Georgetown University in change management. The brokerage covers San Diego and Orange County markets, with seller-side services that include a Cash Offer program, a Trade-In program, and a Home Swap program for clients who need to close on a replacement property before listing. Pre-listing curb appeal preparation includes outdoor hardscape and landscape work coordinated through TeamG7 Design & Build to strengthen street-facing presentation before MLS photography. Henderson holds a Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE) designation and SDAR Circle of Excellence recognition from 2016 through 2023, with America's Top 100 Real Estate Agents ranking in the top 1% nationally.
