Its a bit like an odd hybrid between asking someone to prom and a job interview - you don't quite want the person who's TOO friendly, but the odd guy in the corner staring at his phone won't work either.One other note - bring a friend/partner/spouse someone else with you to meet people.

Flaunting lush lawn, a fresh designer paint scheme, and chic front door.

They certainly are not here flaunting their story, but I'm guessing it IS the majority.

When I first started out a Parent rented our Lake House for a few of her daughters friends at Prom.

We have 3 girls, (I.e. continued future expenses for cars, proms, college etc).

They also update all of our current proms or sales real time and help us increase rankings on google searches.New customers are easy since all they know is the website.

Since brokers will take just about anyone getting a license you are interviewing him for work you do but he gets a big or smaller cut, I prefer to dress like I will go to work not to a prom.

Even worse if they have some tax liability or a deficiency or are asked for a prom note or cash contribution as a result.

I don't need to spend more more money to flaunt my success.

PS - while I agree with much of the anti-agent short sale sentiment, I would be careful about flaunting it.
