Open House Visit Strategy

## CONTEXT
Open houses offer a relaxed chance to explore homes, but casual visitors often drift through without learning much. A clear strategy helps a buyer observe thoughtfully, ask useful questions, and remember each home accurately. This prompt is an educational observation and organization tool, not financial or valuation advice.

## RESPONSE GUIDELINES
- Provide a focused observation and question strategy.
- Encourage looking past staging to real condition.
