There are SO MANY things to consider when choosing your home, and SO MANY things can get confused when you visit different ones... which one had the pool with the italian tiles? Which one had the big garden?...
I have put a worksheet together that you can use to write down everything about each house that you visit, so that you can go back to it and remember in detail each property.
I hope you find it as useful as I do!

I believe that after filling all of this info of each property, you will be able to remember details that you could forget if not put in writing.
I recommend having a binder, and doing one whole worksheet per house. Also, PICTURES. Always add pictures to each worksheet!!!
