I think it's still worth it right now to show properties because it will pay you back your gas mileage and then some once you close. We all have to work wit the buyers that will most likeley buy soon, prequalified, and realistic..

The documents look nice but I guess we can't get them without paying for them.

Mike, I agree, it will always be worth it because thats where the pay check comes from. I've heard more agents showing upwards of 50+ homes to a buyer, and thats a scary number for the pocket book. Thanks for stopping by.

Denise, thank you. Yes there is a fee which includes the rating system as well. One saved trip nearly covers the fee.

But we made the "copy right" logo lite enough if you want to give it a try to see how they work for you and your buyers before hand.

Duane, thanks for the downloads; great examples. I work from home 90% of the time but I have listings 30 minutes away. I definitely try to group my errands. I paid $3.21 a gallon today.

With so many homes to see, buyers need a method to keep them all straight in their head and walk through checklists are a great idea if they are willing to fill out the info.  With gas prices being so high this is great advice!!

I love the look of your checklists.  Are you working a deal for those on activerain?  Cheap, I hope! :)

Debbie, you are welcome. It's ridiculous what the price of gas is doing. Even more reason to work smarter. Just read where they figure gas will be at $4.00 within a couple of weeks. Guess they are trying to let us down slowly, argh.

Patricia, how I worked the Walk through Check List when I was selling, I would complete the check list for the buyer as they rated and toured the homes. Then provide them with the check list as a service to them, they loved it and it eliminated return trips for me. Win-Win. This way they could concentrate on the home. I did have a buyer who wanted to fill out the check list, his theory was it allowed him to see the details that he may have missed on just walking through.

Looks like an interesting project you've got there.  I am going to check it out some more.  Thanks.

Tammy, thanks for checking them out. I'll have to give it some thought on an Active Rain member discount.

Dan, thanks for stopping by and checking out the service.

Duane... Gas prices in my area jumped .10 each day for the past 2 days... crazy! These are great check lists, not only for Realtor/regular buyers, but for investors as well, looking at multiple properties. A nice organizational tool for investors to use in an effort to prioritize their interests as well!

Bo, it is crazy. The oil companies should be posting some record profits again this next quarter. Thanks for checking out the check lists, hope they help you out some day.

Duane: Love, love, love your checklists!  I have been doing a much condensed version myself by giving my customers an MLS sheet with a form printed on the back for them to jot down notes on overall condition, curb appeal, price, etc.

Looking at your form, I see the wisdom of expanding my checklist.

Thanks!
