Kent…there was a thread awhile back regarding this. Do a search, probably on the old BB and there was a lot of info. It primarily consisted of how everyone structured their booking data sheet like your’s above. It ranged from the simple to the R² tome. I’ll see if I can find it. Nope, couldn’t locate it, maybe someone else will remember it & how to find it.

Here’s my booking form: . Copies of this blank form go in a small 7 1/4" x 4 1/2" six ring binder that I keep with me at all times. Fit’s in my back pocket so it goes where I go (pretty much).

What is the type of siding (EIFS?) Telephone number of the client. Will the client be present. How will I gain entry? Will they pay at inspection or closing? Who’s the Real Estate agent (of if the agent, who’s the client). I tell them to get the agreement off my website and fill it out and fax it to me before I leave the house.

How about the multiple listing #. A lot of information right there.

They won’t know this one but it sure would help…

How many electrical panels?
I have found 5 on an older 2200sf house.
(look behind the cereal boxes in the cabinets and pantries)
