Yes, I do care.

Looking like a billion dollars or like you just awoke from skid row does effect those you will meet. The full service listing agent at the houses you show WILL take note and respond appropriately.

Meanwhile the agent of the skid row buyer has lost 'currency' in the eyes of those with whom they must work in the future.

Has the way a buyer client dressed compelled me to do anything? NO! They tend to possess a reasonable self-awareness if they can afford a house in my area.

PS: Dear buyer, there are way too many cameras watching everything you do. Thinking you can dress anyway you please can have a life long affect.
