Real Estate Agents Appearance

[Darius Price]

If a Realtor pulled up in a car that was a little beat up would it be a deal killer? I just recently became a licensed agent and my Camry has definitely seen better days. Would you recommend buying a new car once I start meeting with clients?

[Nathan Gesner]

I earn a healthy six-figure income but I wear regular clothes and most my renters drive nicer cars than I do. If someone refuses to do business with me because of what I drive, that's their loss because I'll work much harder than the 60-year-old driving the 2019 Cadillac or tricked out Ford F-250.

If your car is really ugly, see if you can borrow someone else's car. Or point it out right away with some self-deprecating humor. 

"I'm sorry about my car. I've been so busy hustling for my clients that I haven't had time to upgrade!"
