Good preparation helps assess condition, location, cost and everyday suitability instead of relying only on the first impression.
A viewing is more than a quick walk-through. Questions, priorities, photo or video permissions and the required scope should be agreed before the appointment. This makes impressions easier to compare and open points easier to follow up.
The listing, floor plan and open questions should be reviewed before the appointment. A consistent order helps during the viewing. Impressions should be recorded immediately afterwards while details are still fresh.
