I have visited and sold hundreds of foreclosures. One of my early lessons was not to wear my dress shoes or good clothes.

They can be stifling and also unhealthy and care needs to be taken 

don’t wear the Sunday best

Working with Kelly is a good move

I've been in some challenging situations over the years with foreclosed property! I typically wear jeans, boots or sneakers, and long sleeves when the weather allows. This attire is important for when I encounter properties with overgrown landscaping, as it protects against ticks, poison ivy, and other potential hazards.

Richard, this gave me a good chuckle — and a truthful one at that! 😄 Foreclosures can certainly come with their fair share of “surprises,” and a little preparation goes a long way to keep everyone safe and comfortable during a showing.

 

Thanks for keeping it real and reminding us that sometimes the job calls for boots, gloves, and a brave heart! Stay safe out there — and may all your future showings be clean, well-lit, and pleasantly uneventful.

I have showed many foreclosures, and usually read directions.  One had mold, and had to bring masks.   Mostly jeans, and after I show some of them, feel like I need a shower!
