Questions to include on your Property needs assessment questionnaire

1. Agent Information

This section gathers basic information about the real estate agent which may be useful for record keeping and communication purposes.

  • What is your full name?
  • What is your email address?
  • What is your contact number?

2. Property Information

This section aims to collect detailed information about the property that the agent wants to assess.

  • What is the property's full address?
  • What is the type of the property? (Condominium, Single Family Home, Multi Family Home, Commercial Building)
  • What is the property's age (in years)?
  • What is the total area of the property (in square feet)?

3. Property Condition

This section is designed to evaluate the current state and condition of the property.

  • What is the overall condition of the property? (Excellent, Good, Fair, Poor)
  • Does the property need any major repairs? (Yes, No)
  • If yes, please specify the repairs needed.

The question about major repairs is crucial as it helps in evaluating the cost of potential renovations and maintenance, which can significantly affect the property's market value.

4. Market Information

This section provides insights about the local property market, trends, and competition.

  • What is the estimated market value of the property?
  • What are similar properties in the area selling for?
  • What are the current market trends in the area? (Rising, Stable, Falling)

The question about similar properties' prices is essential as it allows for a comparison that can help in determining the property's competitive market price.

5. Additional Information

This section is for any extra details that the agent feels are important to the assessment.

  • Is there any additional information that you'd like to share about the property?

Other question ideas

When you are creating your Property needs assessment questionnaire, here are some additional questions you may want to consider. These won't apply in every case, but should give you some ideas as you build out your form.

  • Has the property been assessed for energy efficiency?

    • This question could reveal whether the property is energy efficient, which might be a selling point for potential buyers, or a point of negotiation if it's not.

  • Does the property come with any unique features (e.g., solar panels, smart home systems, a swimming pool)? Please describe.

    • Unique features could significantly increase the property's value and attractiveness on the market.

  • What is the property's proximity to amenities like schools, hospitals, shopping centers, public transportation?

    • This information could highlight the convenience of the property's location, which might be a strong selling point.

  • Have there been any major renovations or upgrades in the past 5 years? If yes, please describe.

    • Recent renovations or upgrades could increase the property's value and might indicate less need for immediate maintenance.

  • Is the property currently rented or leased? If yes, what is the monthly rental income?

    • If the property is rented, the rental income is a potential source of revenue for the new owner, which could influence the property's market value.

  • How many days has the property been on the market?

    • The length of time a property has been on the market may indicate how easy or difficult it is to sell, which could influence the selling strategy.

  • Is the property listed under any historic or preservation regulations?

    • If the property is listed under historic or preservation regulations, there may be restrictions on alterations or renovations, which potential buyers need to know.

  • What are the annual property taxes for this property?

    • The amount of property taxes could affect the attractiveness of the property to potential buyers.

  • Is the property currently insured? If yes, what is the annual premium?

    • Insurance premiums could be a cost consideration for potential buyers.

  • What is the property's zoning classification?

    • Zoning can affect what the property can be used for, which might be important information for potential buyers.

Things to consider

  1. Mobile-Friendly Design - Ensure your form is mobile-friendly. Real estate agents are often on the move, and they might be filling out the form on a smartphone or tablet.
  2. Form Length - Be mindful of the form's length. If it's too long, users might abandon it halfway through. Try to only include essential questions.
  3. Clear Instructions - Make sure each question is clear and easy to understand. If there's any potential for confusion, provide additional instructions or examples.
  4. Field Validation - Use HTML5 validation features to check that the information entered is in the correct format. This can prevent errors and save time in the long run.
  5. Save and Resume - Include a feature that allows users to save their progress and resume later. This is especially useful for longer forms.
  6. Conditional Questions - Implement conditional logic to display or hide questions based on previous answers. This can make the form more relevant and less burdensome for the user.
  7. Privacy and Security - Ensure that the form is secure and that it's clear how you'll use and protect the data collected. This can help build trust with users.
