In this market with more homes than buyers, it can be easy to blur one house into the next. As I was looking over www.Amarillo.com ‘s Real Estate section, I came across a great list to jot down important facts about each house, so buyers can remember what gems they found in their search. I've modified the flow of it slightly from the original.
This is a great help when someone can look at 50 houses in three days, for they all start to seem the same then! Print off copies for each house you're looking at if your buyer doesn't have anything to record their notes and impressions. Once you're done looking, make copies of them so you can easily respond to feedback and remember what they liked or didn't like, to help trim down the list of houses you'll take them too.
