WOW - the number of properties for a buyer to choose from can become overwhelming. I try to have my buyer’s look at no more than about 6 properties at any one time or they really start to blend together when you go home and start thinking about each one. I always print out a MLS data sheet for each home that my clients can use for note taking as we walk thru. I think this helps clients narrow down what they liked and really didn’t like about each home. I suggest notes on anything from how the home felt, smelled, looked, traffic, parking, age of appliances and mechanicals. After a few homes it becomes easier to see what items are most important. I recently was showing to a couple that wanted a busy road as he ran a home business out of the garage, he never even mentioned this until he started commenting on too little traffic!
