Compare listings

Track URL, address, price, beds, baths, notes, priority, showing time, and monthly payment estimates in one place.

Plan the route

Select the homes worth seeing and open a Google Maps route without retyping every address.

Stay realistic

Keep payment assumptions, taxes, insurance, and notes visible while emotions are running hot.

Template

Copyable Sheet Status

The original version is being rebuilt as a clean Green Bean template. V1 will support manual listing entry first, with automatic detail extraction treated as experimental until there is a stable and policy-safe path.

Setup

First Run Checklist

  1. Copy the planner template once the public Sheet is published.
  2. Paste listing URLs and fill in address, price, beds, baths, showing time, and personal notes.
  3. Set your payment assumptions for down payment, rate, tax, insurance, and HOA.
  4. Mark homes as shortlisted and sort by priority or showing time.
  5. Use the route helper to open selected addresses in Google Maps.

Permissions

The v1 planner is spreadsheet-first and does not require a Green Bean account. If a route helper is added, it only needs access to the copied sheet.

Troubleshooting

If a route does not open correctly, check that each selected row has a complete address and remove extra notes from address cells.

Listing extraction

Automatic extraction is intentionally not the default. Manual entry is more reliable and avoids brittle scraping.
