You got the first part down on the Know by door knocking. but I would dress in a manner that is reflective of the community you are door knocking in. Unless you're on the beach, i'd avoid the flip flops and board shorts, but Also I think most people get defenisve or put off by suits when they are knocking on someones door, so Business Casual, collard shirt if that is something you'd wear or a Clean- Non Graphic T (unless you had your own made), clean cut dark denim jeans -- and some clean shoes.
You will do better door knocking when you feel comfortable, and when you feel comfortable the people in front of you will feel more comfortable and they can tell (but we should also not feel like you are dressing for your living room either), and so dress how you would want to dress, in a way that is clean, professional, but more casual in clothes that fit well and are not uncomfortable to tight or too big-- otherwise you will feel it as soon as you knock on the door.

As with anything sales related, the first impression is the most important. You need to have something about you that the potential client will remember you by. You don't want to look like every other agent who is door knocking: you want to stand out. Maybe have a golf shirt with a customized design or wear a novelty tie that speaks to your personality. Because above all else, you want to leave a lasting impression that the homeowner will remember.
Something between professional and casual. It looks more approachable this way. Also, a good leather briefcase, like this one, makes you look like you know your business.
