Dress Up.

Business attire is always appropriate for a professional. 

I too dress for the situation - mountain property -  jeans,  in-town property - business to casual business. 

Always dress professionally, but I dont have a flashy watch.

Dress up!

Dress up, of course!

Roy nailed this one!

Absolutely! When working with defaulted property I'm in jeans, but am professionally attentive to their needs. On occasion I need to hide my high end car, looking for another clunker of a car.

I dress up.  I'm a very casual jeans type of girl but when it comes to business I have a lot of competition. Looking professional in this competitive world is one of the ways I can make a great first impression.  

I dress professionally (and dress similarly) for both showings and listing appointments -- but might change my shoes depending on weather/etc. I wore hiking boots to a listing meeting a few weeks ago because it was very muddy and icy and I knew we would be wandering around outside. The sellers complimented me on my shoe choice.

Richard, my rule is to always dress better than they do.  I do try to look as professional as possible at appointments.

No, I always dress like ME! I am a laid back person and I wear business casual.

Dockers and a button down shirt unless its for land showing. A suit and tie scares them in this area.

Richard,

I would dress in such a way that exudes professionalism and expertize.  It also depends who your sellers are.  If I were to meet an attorney, a banker or a corporate executive, I would dress to meet their dress standards regardless of the marketplace. A

Best rule of thumb is to dress one step above what you think your clients will be.

I would dress up a bit more than usual. I always lean toward professional dress anyway but with the unknown I want to make sure the first impression is a good one. It makes me feel more in control too.

I used to do the suit and tie thing for all listings.  I'm now to old and crotchety so, it just shirt and slacks.

Prescott is a "laid back" place. It is appropriate to wear cowboy boots and a cowboy hat here. Actually it is OK to wear a six shooter but I don't do that either. If I am meeting a prospective client in town, I wear business casual. I think most of my clients would think of me as silly if I were to put on a suit.

When I am showing acreage or remote properties, I wear jeans and hiking boots. I expect my Buyers to dress that way, as well.

I own the market position of being "Prescott's Land Man." I notice that in the magazines that show off land, 8 out of 10 real estate agents or brokers will have on a cowboy hat.

Richard Robibero, ABR, SRS typically business casual is how I go. Very infrequent tie wearer.

I agree with Debra and Annette - I'm interviewing for a job; you also need to know your audience though even when I'm interviewing with first time home sellers I want them to feel as though they've hired a platinum professional who values their home and will treat them as though this was a million dollar listing.

I smile when other Agents refer to me as Agent Blue Jeans.

I am not a bling kind of guy, but I always wear dress pants, a dress shirt and a tie. On occasion I will wear a jacket/full suit. I believe in being professional and looking the part at all times. I believe in being consistent in all ways at all times.

I'm not a suit and tie kind of guy, but I do a nice business casual for all my listing presentations.

I always dress up the first time I am meeting any prospective client. You never get a second chance to make a first impression. 

I dress in business attire as if I were interviewing for a job.  I avoid all the "bling".  I don't believe in showing off expensive things.  If this is what you are accustom to, then that's your personal preference.

I dress in accordance to convention that would exhibit the respect I hold for the home owner. I always remember the kid whose parents thought it proper for them to meet the PRESIDENT wearing cargo shorts.

I you are too busy to show respect in the beginning, it portends what the future holds.
