A sharp agent is also going to be good at soothing feathers that get ruffled along the way. 

I was told by my lender that everything was running soothly because I am a well qualified borrower, I have everything that a lending company would like to see from a borrower.

My agent’s soothing, confident voice calmed any concerns I felt even when he mention offhand that she was on a fixed disability income but had a couple hundred to spare every month after expenses, including the medication to treated her mental disability.

Once you get rolling with it, you'll probably find more money than you can find deals for.With all the dire sooth being said about what's on the horizon for Wall Street, a lot of folks will be looking for safer places to park their retirement money, even short-term.

@Conrad Metzenberg,I think you're going to see values remain high and either trail off in some places as supply slowly increases, or possibly surge if lending is loosened and pent up demand is released.If any of the dire sooth being said about the dollar comes about, all bets are off.

@Eamonn McElroy, how come those junior field agents never enjoy a nice cup of soothing herbal tea?!

- Get rid of all personal items and all family pictures (just neutral furniture and accessories)- Turn on lights before every showing- Open blinds before every showing- Create a flyer with all positive attributes of the house/neighborhood/area/etc- Make sure it smells nice- Paint your front door (it's the first thing the buyer will notice of the "interior"- Leave on a stereo or iPod with speakers playing some soothing/popular music

Every time I spread mud over a section of a wall it feels as though the house is sighing in relief and gratefulness for the healing and soothing salve I am applying.  

Do not let your smart phone be too much of a distraction, especially when your attention is needed most such as when you're approaching a house.A pleasant attitude and demeanor will go a long way towards soothing and calming people that might get upset.

She is good with feelings but ignores logic too much.She goes over the damage I cause when I explain to people why it was seriously stupid what they did (very kindly though) and soothes things when I am unhappy with performance and she makes sure my team doesn't have permanent mental damage and trauma after I let them have it.Me.. it is better to be feared than loved.She... it is better to be loved than fearedTogether though...
