Showings

Schedule a day and time that works for both of us, I work days, evenings and weekends
I usually show 6-7 properties maximum during one outing, as after 7, they all tend to blur together
All the listing information is on my IPad, in my attempt to be paperless and save some trees
I create a notebook for you on my IPad in Evernote, where you can take pictures, jot down notes on each property and also make voice votes
I share the notebook link with you
I share my knowledge and expertise as we are walking through the home and point out important things about the home, the good, the bad and the ugly
