1. Keep little games or coloring books in a goody bag in the car and give them a new item between each home. Make it a theme goody bag.
2. Ask them to pick their room in each home, this keeps them excited about each one and makes them feel part of the process. [they usually go for the master =)]
3. Take breaks, this is a great idea for all involved. This way you can weed out the homes you don’t like and keep the top three in your brain and the kids get to stretch for a few minutes. If there is a park near by take advantage of it.
4. Most importantly don’t view too many homes. I have heard different numbers bounced around, there is no magic number but try to weed out as many home before you actually go view them. The reason for this is so you have enough time and energy to view the ones on your “I would love to live in this home” List.
5. Make sure they have snacks and have eaten well. Personally if I don’t eat well I have a hard time viewing homes all day. Snacks keeps them full and entertained and gives them something to look forward to.
