So proud right this moment that you cannot see my Hummer......... my excuse is I am trading it in soon for another one...you are right - I used to have my car detailed every Friday......thanks for this reminder......

My vehicle is often dirty because I travel gravel roads all the time.  I go places that scream dirt.  I would have to go to the jeep wash twice a day.  My desk doesn't look too good either.  It is a sign of a busy agent that only passes through the office.  I do more business outside the office than I do in the office. I have wrote as many contracts on the hood of my jeep as I have in the office.   I still see your point if you are not working rural property.

I couldn't agree more. As you pull up, weather a listing or to see a buyer , you are making a first impression. I know this could not be true but, when my car is clean, I'd swear it runs better.

Making a professional impression is very important in this market.  Your car is a reflection of yourself and how you keep yourself and handle your transactions:  Is it going to be nice and neat or dirty and messy.
