A couple of weeks ago we had someone look at our home. We checked them out on the ring doorbell - overweight sloppily dressed woman. Stayed in the home w/her realtor less than 10 minutes, didn't take a printout, etc.
Serious judgment going on in our home. We said "she looks kind of trashy, probably can't afford it".
2 days later we had an offer. We saw the pre-approval letter, did some googling, and learned her husband can buy and sell us. He works for a publicly traded company and is a sr exec w/comp info publicly available. he makes annually more than twice our list price. He's being transferred and they wanted our home to live in while they wait for shangri la to be built.
We sold to a different buyer, but the point made several times in this thread still stands. Don't judge a book by its cover.
