Many agents that I see out in the real estate arena, are shockingly dressed in such an unprofessional manner. In the corporate world it is a must that you show up in attire that is of a professional nature, recently I was invited to a real estate seminar. and when I observed the individuals coming in I was disappointed in how under dressed most of the agents were. Here is where I find most agents cross the line.
- Coming in with clothes that need pressing, or to be dry cleaned.
- Clothes that do not fit (ladies--please look at yourself in a mirror before you leave) Blouses in which the buttons are being strained is not attractive.
- Wearing inappropriate attire, jeans, overalls, and the like all have a place, but when your out on a listing presentation --- please dress in a professional manner.
- Having stains on your clothes, yes, food that lands on the front of your clothes leaving visible stains, need to be address immediately. Sure there will be times when you cannot do anything about accidentally get food or spilling a drink on yourself, but try to take care of it as soon as possible.
- Men what is it with not shaving and or getting a hair cut that is a becoming style? How about practicing good grooming.
- Men and Ladies --lets look at your shoes, why not take them in for repair or have them polished on a regular basis. This was one of the most flagrant offenses.
- Men how about keeping your shirt tails tucked in.
- Running suits are for running. Not meant for use as professional attire.
These are just highlights of what I saw at this seminar. Many of us use professional stagers to maximize the presentation of a home. Should we not be as REALTORS putting our best foot forward when out in public.
