Makeshift RealEstate Agents

INDOOR / OUTDOOR · COST: $$$ · FOOD: NO · DRINKS: NO

Being a Real Estate agent looks fun, exciting, and honestly not all that hard (if you don't have to know anything about historic property trends, neighborhood comps, buyer psychology, etc. etc.) I mean, who doesn't want to just walk around and tour cool houses or potential business properties all day? Grab a date and browse RMLS listings in your area and find some of the coolest homes you can virtually tour (or even drive by and take a look at).

The Overview

WHAT You Need
Assess The Potential of Real Estate

You can browse the internet or drive through neighnorhoods to find good locations. This can be done on the fly with your date or you can try to pre-plan out a route or area of interest ahead of time. You can even turn it into a scavenger hunt by coming up with a list of items you want to try to find at each property/location.

WHEN to do it
Now is a great time!

Since this date is less reliant on a business with hours of operation, you can pretty much swing it whenever. This is great as an add-on to another date, an afternoon adventure, or even an early-bird excursion.

WHERE to go
Location, Location, Location: Physical or Virtual

A nice thinbg about this option is it can be done nearly anywhere. If you want to get outisde, it's easy to browse properties on foot or from your car. Otherwise, if the weather isn't suitable or transportation isn't readily available to joyride in, then you can stick to aggregating properties using RMLS, LoopNet, or another real estate listings website.
