i just wanted to ask what you guys prefer wearing to appointments at the sellers home, and what would you receommend?
Would wearing a suit and tie be preferred?
Relaxed look?
as going in there to help with their situation, i would assume a professional look would be good. But at the same time I feel it could come in and give an impression of arrogance maybe? what do you guys think or prefer?
Try to determine what the price ranges for houses are in that area and dress the part. I don't think I'd go to either extreme: suit & tie or in shorts. I prefer the casual dress look.

@Account Closed. You can't miss with casual. But don't worry too much about little things like this. Tweaking little things makes a fractional difference in success rate. If you do a ton of deals this little increase can make a differece, but is really irrelevant to someone getting started.
This biggest difference you can make in your success rate when you are starting out is to take action.
I think khakis and a buttoned-shirt fits pretty much any situation, adjust based on what you think the neighborhood/seller would expect.
As to arrogance, there is exuding arrogance and there is the perception of arrogance. If the seller views anyone not in a Hawaiian shirt as arrogant there is nothing you can do about that, whereas exuding arrogance comes from how you walk and talk more than what you wear in my opinion.
