We just dressed up the laminate counter top with what they call an ogee edge.

If you'd like, Tyler and I can sell you a DVD where we dress in suits and say that 100 times.

@Donna Welschmeyer You can dress them up with applied moldings to mimic the look of panels but it's a fair amount of work and never looks completely convincing in my opinion. 

I'm 31 right now the wife and I got the bug when we were offered the opportunity to purchase a bridal suite, wife is in the business and she was very interested.  

I haven’t delved deep enough to fully understand their target profit margin, but they do a really beautiful job with all of their rehabs - gleaming hardwood floors, kitchens dressed to the 9s, updated outdoor masonry, etc. which leads me to believe they must be somewhat selective with location (Baltimore still has some 16,000 vacancies) and sure of good resale value.Anyway, the title of the role is ‘Property Research Manager’.

These guys make me tons of money, and I them, but the greatest thing about it is at 36 years old I can show up to a closing, dressed in a suit, on a huge house where my accountant, also dressed in a suit, and I will make good money and still remind him of that time he pissed in his luggage at the Kentucky derby 16 years ago!

A dress any other issues you see in the walk through.  

One time I came down and some of my stuff was missing from the dryer (a dress, some underwear). 

I still drive a beater dressed like a homeless construction painter fixing all my own stuff.  

Joel,It is interesting to watch.Showing up on time, dressing well, speaking well, being respectful and of course like you said being prepared with copies of paperwork and knowing the answers to the questions that will likely be asked goes a long, long way.Kevin
