Bag It! A Real Estate Agents Grocery List!

Don't forget the shoes or boots for walking in the wet grass.

I have these items plus a few more that I feel I need. Mace for angry animals or people LOL. Great list and always be prepared! Were you a girl scout too?

Gabrielle, as a home inspector I always bring several camp chairs, a cooler of bottled water, and some kids toys. Some people don't realize how long an inspection could last and I have found that most do not like to sit on a strangers furniture without their permission and don't want to dirty any glasses.

I do my best to keep water, flavored and lo carb energy bars. Then if clients are thirsty they can have a snack and get that blood sugar back up. I also keep a tape measure.

Gabrielle, that is a good list.  I always have the flashlight and the hand sanitizer.  Have a great day.

In my case I ad a compass so that when folks are looking at their view and they say what direction are we pointing in I can tell them

Good Article. I carry a snow shovel in the winter time here in the Poconos

Nothing beats being prepared.  I probably carry to many tools..  I like to fix loose door knobs etc. that only take a minute and can be a distraction to buyers.

Gabrielle, very good shopping list of items to keep on hand. Also good tips in the comments. Thanks.

Lightweight fold-up chair, I will put that on my shopping list although on 2nd thought make it two. Measuring tape is always in my car, too.

I do not see coffee. Great post

Gabrielle, great list.  I knew we were kinsman when I saw that you eat chocolate and drink coffee.  My favorite food group!

HI Gabrielle, Very nice article with good points. Thanks for sharing.

Best - Sash

I keep key tags, paper clips, a microfiber dust rag (for emergency dusting before a client gets in), and have used other agents scotch tape from their glove box.  A screw driver and extra flyer box screws is also a must.  Oh, and there are always a few bottle of water rollingaround on the floor, gathering up plastic vapor poisons.

Gab, Great list. But you know even with all these items I always wish I had something I forgot...

Great list Gabrielle. I like to keep a magazine to read if bored, a tape measure, and a camera too. The hand sanitizer is a must! Hope all is well.

Hi Gabrielle ~ I love the idea of folding chairs.  Especially for inspections - I'm always camping out on dirty cellar stairs.
