Trulia sent out an email today about profile mistakes Real Estate Agents make.  It said glam shots and 20 year old photos on profile page might not be the best way to represent yourself.   One of the points the article made is it is better to stand out by doing something different or crazy than to blend in on a profile page.  To the left is a copy of the picture in the article.   That is some funny stuff!   The crazy thing is it wouldn’t surprise me if this is a Real Estate agent and her profile picture.

A few weeks ago they sent out another article about how you should dress for success and drive an expensive car.  What you wear, drive and the type of profile picture you have has nothing to do with how good of a real estate agent you are.    At Jones and Associates Realty we wear jeans and don’t drive showy expensive cars in fact I got rid of the Porsche 911 and Escalade to get a Honda that gets 35 miles a gallon.   Even though we don’t have the clothes or cars we are Fantastic agents.   We know this from the past clients we work with over and over again and from the referrals and testimonials they send us.  We know that providing a professional service and truly caring about our clients needs is more important than having a ridiculous glam shots or showy car.

If you are thinking about buying or selling a home in Salt Lake, Davis or Utah County call Jones and Associates to interview true real estate professionals.
