Things to consider
- Simplicity and Clarity - Make sure the form is easy to understand and complete. Avoid industry jargon where possible and provide clear instructions for each question.
- Relevance of Questions - Only include questions that are pertinent to the property evaluation. Irrelevant questions can make the form longer and more time-consuming to fill out.
- Use of Conditional Logic - This is a feature that allows you to show or hide questions based on the responses to previous questions. For example, the question about renovations should only appear if the respondent answers "Yes" to the question "Has the property been renovated recently?"
- Mobile Friendliness - Ensure the form is easy to fill out on mobile devices. Many real estate agents are constantly on the go and would appreciate the ability to complete the survey on their phone or tablet.
- Testing the Form - Before officially launching the form, test it thoroughly. Make sure all the questions appear as they should, the conditional logic works correctly, and the form is user-friendly.
- Data Protection - As you will be collecting potentially sensitive information, ensure your form adheres to data protection laws and regulations. Inform the respondents how their data will be used and stored.
- Feedback Option - Include a section at the end of the form where respondents can provide feedback. This will help you make continuous improvements to the form.
