Make the most of every home tour

Look beyond the photos and leave with better notes and clearer questions.

Take a first look, then a closer one

Walk through the home once to understand the layout. On a second pass, note how the rooms connect and how the space would work for your daily routine. Ask permission before taking photos or video.

Notice the everyday details

Consider available storage, room dimensions, access, parking, and outdoor space. Make a note of anything you want clarified rather than assuming the listing answers every question. A tour helps you form questions; it is not a substitute for a professional inspection.

Compare with your own priorities

After the showing, record what worked, what did not, and what you still need to learn. Compare those notes with your original priorities. Share your observations with your agent so the next tour becomes more focused.
