i think re has aged me a few years! i think that i look young for my age, though over the last few years my looks have "matured". i am only 30, but i must state that only one client has ever even made a comment on my looks! i set everything up on the phone. met the client in person and he said, "wow, i thought you would be older by the way you sounded on the phone". see, if you project maturity it will be percieved. maybee a few people wont want to use you because they are looking for someone more seasoned (their perception of age) though the reality is that being older is not neccesarily being more experienced! i am sure that i have lost a few listings becasue teh client wanted someone who looked more like them (being older). i know that i probably would not hire an 18 year old to sell my house if they had no experience, but if they sold houses for 6 months to a year with a good track record and seemed competent i would have no problem with hiring them at all. if someone was 16 (i know you have to be 18, but just using it as an example) and had experience i would have no problem using them. provided taht they were mature and responsible with a bang up plan and could walk the walk!
