I'm watching "Million Dollar Listing" on Bravo right now. If you've never seen it, it's extremely enlightening. It follows several Realtors around as they do their jobs in helping Clients buy and sell million dollar properties.
This one Realtor is going to meet a potential Client whom he thinks is a hot lead because he knows the potential Client's son. Well, said Realtor shows up in tennis shoes, white socks, black shorts, a gray T-shirt with underarm stains, a headband, unshaven, unwashed, unkempt, just an absolute disaster. He claimed that his home didn't have electricity or water when he woke up, but in actuality (as the edited-for-television program showed) he woke up late and just decided that since he knew prospective Client's son, that he didn't need to look professional.
The potential Client said quite frankly (but loosely quoted), "I'm not going to give my listing to someone who looks like you." Well, duh.
Lost commission: "$106,850."
