The Story of Paul Handlen as Bethel Area Real Estate Agent

 In 1999, Paul entered real estate in Bethel, calling upon his life-long career in sales: first in real estate for five years, and then as Vice President and sales manager for dessert company, Lasting Impression, Inc. for nineteen years. Paul has now accumulated over ten years of real estate experience in the Bethel area. Combined with his earlier years, his years of real estate experience totals to fifteen and his years of sales totals to 34.

Paul Handlen, Owner and Designated Broker, writes:

"My goal has always been to operate as an independent real estate broker. After 19 years of operating in a hectic business environment, I can tell you that being large is not better, having more employees does not make life or business more productive, and greater volume has absolutely nothing to do with quality of product or quality of life.

"In real estate, my product is my service to my clients and customers, and the satisfaction of doing a job well for them brings me quality of life. I do not need a complicated or large business to achieve these things. I will never have the most listings.However, as my client or customer you will have my full attention.  My policy is to be forthright, tenacious, and conscientious in my efforts for those people who choose to work with me. Because of my success in these commitments to my clients and customers, I have succeeded in my goal of establishing Handlen Realty."
