It's sad that your client's experience with other agents was not a very positive one, but it's great for her that she was able to meet you and receive the kind of courtesy and professional service that everyone should receive equally. I also agree with Julie & Francis that fancy cars or clothes aren't a prerequisite to being able to buy a home. Hi Kathy, this is a fantastic story!

And, you are soooo correct that it isn't just the words you say, or the way you say them, but the total package of gestures, words, and energy - it is called excellent communication skills. Jonathan Hi Kathy,
What an insightful article. And, you are soooo correct that it isn’t just the words you say, or the way you say them, but the total package of gestures, words, and energy – it is called excellent communication skills.

That is why stereotypes are NOT a good thing! Julie Cleland makes a great point that fancy clothes or cars do not prove wealth. Best regards, Francis G. Bautista Hi Kathy,

I recall a time working in a leather goods store where a gentleman walked in and was promptly ignored by my manager because he looked a little "shabby". I gave him a friendly hello and earned the commission on a purchase that was close to $1,500. Not everyone needs to prove who they with fancy cars and clothes.
