I wouldn’t come up and say I am new in the business but if someone ask me I’ll be honest, that may work for some, but not others, it who cares anyways, you won’t get everyone, you want those that will want to do business with you.I will also reiterate that even if you are brand new and some ask you, turn around to a positive, if they say “but so and so has been in the business 20 years and have done many transactions blah blah blah” you can turn it around “you know mr and mrs seller, that is a great agent with a great track record, but don’t mind my asking, they are doing so many deals a month and so and so a year, how much time do you think they would dedicate to your home?”

I have yet to have a guest ask for a refill or mention the quality (I tried to pick a nice-looking, not-too-expensive brand).Be careful with the scents -- I had a run of people pulling out and hiding the scents and one or two people complained that they were scent-sensitive in private notes.

The new tenants didn't know how to lite the brand-new stove.

Yes, it's true that you might be able to find a product you need at a greater discount when a brand like Wayfair or CB2 is having a sale, but I've found that they truly do offer superior discounts at scale, even considering the fee.
