That will help you visualize the crime.Do more detective work.

Home buyers are very easily visually influenced.

It's a nice place to start to get all the pieces laid out visually to help map the 'story' of your future business.  

@Jonathan David I wouldn't put butcher block around the sink area, maybe a secondary counter for visual appeal if I needed the kitchen to feel warmer.  

Do you inspect all properties prior to determining a price or do you just do a quick visual combined with your seller interview and use a formula?

Semi-annual inspections are perpetually delayed, I rarely receive thorough move-out inspection photos and summaries (I do not live in the area, and these inspections are the only means by which I get visuals on the property).

I will say, with Personal Capital, we were able to visualize many scenarios... say SS is gone by the time we retire, or my husband's pension gets cut by the government, or one of us lose our jobs and we have to live off of 1 income... we could see what the impact of 1 or all would be on our investments.  

Would you be able tell me a little about your home, visually walk me through the home if you don't mind."

This is good for giving a visual on where your personal money is going and allows you to sort of relive the spending moment and ask yourself "is that really where I want my money going?"

Again, this is a simplified example but perhaps will give you a visual of how a HML might calculate numbers.
