Not open for further replies.
I just take the first page of the old 1004 and draw the sketch on the back. Usually don't forget anything unless I get to yakking. :laugh:

I do the exact same thing, fortunately the ones I get yakkng with are usually the ones I feel comfortable calling back!

I do have a questionaire (sp?) for relo visits, It really puts the homeowner at ease, especially when I read it back in their presence ask questions.

Not sure how you feel out a form Josh....explain?

Is it more stimulating when you throw a 2nd, or even 3rd, in the mix? :icon_mrgreen:

Huh? Not sure what you are talking about Brad!

Sorry Josh, it was Dan that made the remark not you! It was gentle humor to his mispellings.

As for the topic of this post, I came up with a sheet on Word that I take with me to each assignment. It really helps you remember things when you get a yacky homeowner...you know the one that follows you through the yard while your measuring, pointing out every detail of his/her home as if you really care or something!!

These are a few though I had most likley worded better because I was always improving> I used to have on a legal page I gave the person a pen and clip board, asked them to take a minute and fill out. Josh stated they were out of you hair, and if they did not feel all out I added them as I asked, But even if they filled it out I always asked my normal question about improvement, upgrades. But it was great when I just knew I was in an area with all septics and they stated they were on city sewage, just recently put down their street.

Hope that gives you some sort of Idea.

Sorry I took you seriously However no here I do not always use spell check nor do I reread my comments here, For that I apologize. I get ahead of myself. I reread reports, heaven help me if I didn’t. But reports I can print them out and easier to read than here of the screen. I will be the 1st to admit I can not spell without spell check or slowing down. So again I know my spelling and grammar can be a joke at times.

For sure! At least you can admit it....
 
I take alot of photos inside and out including both sides of subject ( habit now from doing REO's) and if I forgot to note something I can look at the photos and very often get it that way.
 
Ok, Natalie, you hit 100 posts. No such word as alot. :)

Sorry, I had to fill this out!

Any Known Hazard Waste Site within a mile____Yes, as a matter of fact. Watch your step.

Road is Public or Privately Maintained privately, meaning that if the city maintains something, they do it privately because nobody around here ever sees them maintaining anything_____________

Homeowners or Condo Fees ___n/a_______ monthly_______ Yearly_____
Association Phone and President_____________

Does home have any problems with plumbing, Electrical, Roof, or C H & A system which you know of? Electrical system is a little screwy, can't seem to keep the lights off. Toilet seems to clog a bit, but that problem may go away when I leave.___________________________________

Known improments Fireplace___ Security System__why bother? nobody wants any of this crap!_ Sprinkler System____ Front _none known since high school_Back_see 'front'_Sides_see 'front'_; Central Vac___ Surround Sound___does screaming kids on both ends of the house count?
Other features not mention_____Lets not mention them._____________________________________

Are there any common noises and or smells commonly noted outside of home which i need to know about___________Trust me, you don't need to know__________________

Have all improvements been done in a professional manor______I guess that all depends on who you ask_______________
