What do you bring to a seller's house?

[Jamie Bounds]

When you meet a seller to buy their house, what strategies or documents do you bring to help them feel comfortable and trust you to get the deal at the kitchen table? I've heard of investors bringing a "credibility" report of themselves to hand them. Others may write out their offer in front of them, etc.

 We generally don't bring anything but a business card, camera, and flashlight. We leave our contracts ready in the car.
