Sorry I drive a Nissan Titan LE (yup a little girl with a big truck complex)
Usually my past big trucks had been 4x4 but the height didn't always work well for people getting in and out.
An agent should drive a car that is clean and runs well. I prefer 4 doors
Most of my clients will see me in a business suit however many have seen me in overalls (usually as I'm helping them “improve” something) and the occasional “laid back” attire (usually when I am running to do something for them, during rare time off)
Az,
I agree with the last part about many agents with nice cars who can't sell or don't know the second thing about RE.
Although for some Agent's I think its a must. Its an expectation of their clientele. Obviously leasing an expensive vehicle is something that any joe/jane can do, but for some Agent's its just as important a tool.

Why does every real estate agent drive a mercedes benz?

Every open house I have been to there is a Mercedes parked in front. When we have been early to an open house, and there was no Mercedes in front- it meant the agent was late.
I had three ideas why. First, maybe agents want to project success. They want sellers to feel that they makes a lot because they sell very well.
Second, people tend to defer more to well dressed people because they project more of an authority figure. Maybe the Mercedes is just an extension of the wardrobe and acts in the same way.
Third, real estate requires an average amount of intelligence, but a lot of chutzpah. Maybe these are the same sort of people who didn't expect to make a lot of money earlier in life, and when they do- they tend to be more flashy about it.
Anyone notice the same thing? Other theories?
