Questionnaire:  Qualifying Buyer Prospects

Every salesperson has war stories about indecisive, demanding, disloyal, or financially irresponsible buyers.  This questionnaire can help you determine buyers’ motivation upfront.  Buyers who can’t answer the questions definitively may not be ready to move into your hot-prospects list.

1. How long have you been looking?

2. Are you working with another salesperson or broker?  If yes, whom?

3. Do you rent or own your current home?

4. What is your monthly rent or mortgage payment?

5. Must you sell a home before buying?  If yes, what is the status?

6. Must you complete a lease period before buying?  If yes, what is the status?

7. Do you have a budget for monthly payments?  If yes, how much?

8. What’s your price range?

9. Has a lender pre-qualified you for a loan?  If yes, for how much?

10. How much cash do you want to use for the purchase?

11. Do you have special requirements in a property?  If yes, please list.

12. If you have school-age children, are you willing to move during the school year?

13. Who is your employer?

14. Will anyone else help you make the buying decision?  If yes, who?

15. If we find the right property, are you prepared to make a decision now?

16. What times are best to contact you?

17. What times are best to preview properties?

18. How do you like to communicate (phone, fax, mail, e-mail)?
