Do you really know your Buyer or Seller? With these ever changing economic times be ready to change your game plan. Everyone has been taught "Don't judge a book by its cover". Is you previous experience hurting you? Are you too set in you ways or assumptions?
Susan Boyle is the perfect example. Simon & the other Judges of British talent show thought they had her pegged the moment she walked on stage-- The truth is blew them away. I am sure Susan will be a success in some area of the music industry, despite the first impression.
Personal assumptions may cause a negative feeling about a buyer/seller - when the truth was the exact opposite. Be careful not to act on your first impression you may alienate a potential new client.
Persons you may have think "won't qualify" may turn out to be financially stable. The "nervous buyer" may purchase the first home you show. A Seller may appear to be rich & sucessful but is truly upside down. Be ready for anything and retrain your "gut feelings" about today's buyers & sellers!!
Talk To Me-- Have you had a Buyer or Seller blow you away??? Post it -- We all could learn from it!!!

Judging the book by it's cover is often a huge mistake. We must constantly remind ourselves of this fact. Thanks for the post.
Thanks you !! I think we would all be busy if we could see past our "gut feeling" Jenn
Jennifer - Good post, I have to remind myself of this every day. I live in an area where visitors are very casual. My open house is often attended by ladys in bikinis dripping in tanning oil. You only have one chance to impress. Don't let the way they look stop you from putting on the show of your life! - Mike
