Start with your everyday routine
Before the showing, write down three things your next home needs to make easier. That could be working from home, cooking together, or having a quiet place to unwind. Keep a separate list of preferences you can be flexible about. A clear list makes it easier to compare homes after the excitement of a showing fades.
Walk through the way you would live
Follow your usual path: arriving home, setting down bags, putting away groceries, and settling into the living space. Notice the distance between the garage or entrance and the kitchen. Look for places to store shoes, coats, cleaning supplies, and the things you use every day.
Notice light, sound, and space
Spend a moment in each main room. Where does the daylight enter? What can you hear with the windows closed? Does the furniture layout leave a comfortable walking path? If you have permission, take measurements of important spaces rather than relying on how a staged room looks.
Keep observations separate from questions
Write down what you see and what you still need to ask. A stain, an unfamiliar system, or a recent update is a reason to gather information, not to jump to a conclusion. A showing is not a substitute for a professional home inspection.
Compare while it is fresh
After each visit, record your favorite feature, your biggest concern, and one follow-up question. Use the same headings for every home. Share those notes with Brandon so your next round of showings can focus on what matters most.
Bring your questions.
Every move is personal. Tell Brandon what you have in mind, and start a conversation about what comes next.
