I think guys would be more likely to buy from a hot woman. I dont think women would fall for this as much.

Except that this can backfire because most guys have a significant other who will not be happy with their man going gaga over an attractive agent.

I always focus my attention on the wife and never goof around w/her husband.

I don't know about that. I would rather look at the hot woman, but when my money is on the line, I want to know that there is brains involved. If I was in need of an Attorney, DR, CPA, etc, I don't care how hot she is, I want to know that she good.

I'd hire someone that looked like Janet Reno to defend me over a hot lawyer in a bikinni. If you are that ugly, you have nothing better to do than study and be great.

Put her in a pair of jeans and a tee-shirt would you wonder of if she was a man? You might even mistake her for Bill Gates.

I titled my blog Honest but Ugly and even have a page on my website that alludes to my lack of looks. If looks are important, then go somwhere else. If results are important, call me.

Well as somone who has been working sales since 2001, I heard from my male co-workers all the time about how if they were female/attractive, they would sell more because they would take advantage of it. Alot of us females realize when others find us attractive, but we also realize when people are focusing TOO much on the wrong factor, and don't like to have our time wasted. It's more than a double edged sword when you are talking about it in the workplace, women in general (ESPECIALLY if they are attractive) get punished with all of the sterotypes, psychology and politics and it comes from both males and females. Males will assume that because you are attractive, that you must know how to use your looks or feminine wiles (sp) to attract others and getthe job done, and females will assume that you take it too far in using your looks and MIGHT call you every name in the book behind your back, or at least think that you think too highly of yourself because of how you look. This is something we can go on all day about, it's unfortunate, because if you make it clear that you are about business and aren't comfortable with any other kind of talk beyond a simple compliment, your branded every kind of negative word so as to have people label you and your not allowed to have your work speak for itself!

I think so. If I read it right:

1. Ugly women are better than pretty women in Real Estate.

2. Attractive Men are better than Ugly Men in Real Estate.

so... if you are beauty-challenged, maybe you just have to find clients uglier than you
