Matt,

This is a great idea. I think I will try to put this together for my local market if you don't mind.

Matt - This is a good idea, I think I will try to put something together similar for our market. Have a great weekend.

Matt - I have something similar for buyers.  It is so important for them to prioritze.  While it would be wonderful to find all of their wants in a new home it MIGHT not be feasible sometimes.  Thanks for the post!
