It is best to preview only a few homes at a time. • We will schedule time to look at homes and neighborhoods and will arrange showing appointments with the sellers or their brokers. • If the seller or their real estate professional is at the property when we are there, it would be best for you to limit your conversation with them. • You can use the Home Finding Worksheets provided you to evaluate each property. • In order to help me find the right home for you, we will ask you to tell us your thoughts about each property you see — the positives and the negatives.
