Since she's showing us 10-12 houses on this first outing, I decided to make a list I can quickly fill out at each house -- that way when we get home I can remember what ones we liked the most!
Here's the worksheet I am going to use for each one:

Kind of dorky, yes. But I am old-fashioned organized (still use a paper day planner in lieu of my iPhone calendar). Just wait until I show you my color-coded homebuying binder! ;)
