Every item a buyer checks on a trade business. One line each on why.
For years I was the buyer. When a trade business crossed my desk, I worked a list — what to check, in what order, and what each miss meant for the price. Nobody ever showed the owner that list.
This is that list, written for your side of the table.
The Punch List is exactly what it sounds like. Every item a buyer checks when he sizes up a trade business — one checkable line each, with one sentence on why it matters. Deal-killers flagged and ranked. The slow items marked, because some things only time can fix. No lectures, no theory, no chapters about mindset.
You mark every item one of four ways: done, open, doesn't apply, don't know. The don't-knows are worth the $47 by themselves — every one is a finding-out that beats a surprise in diligence.
It ships with a Florida license page — what actually happens to a qualifying agent's company at a sale, the 60-day rule, and who can buy you under each setup. And one item comes already walked, start to finish, with the sheet to hand your bookkeeper — so you see what closing a box looks like before you start.
27 pages. Built to print and pin up in the office.
The list tells you what. It doesn't teach you how. You could run this job yourself off the Punch List — it just means time spent figuring out the how instead of following a plan. The Blueprint is the plan, already drawn: the work orders, the scope sheets for your people, the order to do it in — ready to run.
Everything I sell has a 90-day full refund guarantee. If it wasn't worth what you paid, reply to any email and say so. That's all it takes.
Most businesses that get listed never sell. I learned why one deal at a time, and it was rarely the work itself. It was the file. This is the list the file gets checked against. Better a year early than a day late.
