Thread: What to wear?

When I was in residential and then commercial sales, during the weekdays I wore business causal or more formal, depending upon the circumstance. When meeting the client for the first time, business formal. After that, business causal.

If I were to meet a real estate broker, for the first time, who wore flip-flops and old faded less than causal clothes, I'd run away in the opposite direction. First impressions can never be created a second time.

just be pleasant.. business like attires and try to know who your client is, so as not to intimidate them, or be out of place.

just don't come across as grungy or sleezy and you'll be fine. If I'm looking for a house I don't care if you are in a suit or if you are in flip flops if you know your "stuff"

I care more about the house. Just don't come across as arrogant or rude. Customer service rules apply. Be kind to your clients, professional and knowledgeable and you'll be fine.

I'm a Mortgage Loan Officer and my attire varies. I fit my clients. If I feel like someone would rather me be in a suit then I will wear my suit to work. I did a new application and had my client come in on the weekend. On the phone he was saying "dude" "no way" etc...and he was 24. i don't think wearing a suit was the right way to go. I came in on the saturday in Jeans and a nice sweater. Standard for any given day of the week I'll be in slacks and a dress shirt...sometimes with a tie, sometimes without it. I never know when someone will randomly stop by and I do want to come across as professional.

Don't forget the condition of the inside of your car. It won't matter how you are dressed if you go and put them into a dirty car. I hear countless numbers of clients talking about their experiences in the past. Don't make that mistake.

Smoking can cause you a problem as well unless your clients smoke. Follow their lead in these situations.
