Better seller discovery
A structured questionnaire gathers the facts before the call, while leaving pricing strategy and recommendations for a real conversation.
Capture address, property type, size, occupancy, improvements, and repair needs in consistent fields instead of scattered texts.
Show lease questions for tenant-occupied homes, listing questions for represented sellers, and scheduling only for people ready to meet.
Tag urgent movers, consultation requests, and longer-term prospects so each submission enters an appropriate follow-up path.
Questionnaire workflow
Generate the foundation, refine it around your listing process, and connect responses to a prompt follow-up routine.
Describe who completes it, what you need before a call, and which situations need different questions.
Add your property types, time frames, service area, consultation options, and contact language.
Reveal tenant, co-owner, listing, or repair questions only when earlier answers call for them.
Route responses with the seller's contact preference and requested next step.
Choosing an intake method
Match questions to the lead stage while keeping answers easy to review.
Field guide
Use six sections to understand the opportunity without requesting a full transaction file.
Seller contact
Collect the contact and property identifiers needed for the first response, plus how and when the homeowner prefers to be reached.
Property profile
Structured basics prepare the agent without treating seller estimates as verified listing data. Leave space for unusual features.
Condition
Ask neutrally about upgrades, deferred maintenance, and areas the seller wants to discuss.
Motivation and priorities
Let sellers choose priorities such as timing, preparation, communication, or price, then add context in their own words.
Timing and readiness
Capture the likely listing window and any move deadline, then ask whether the seller wants an appointment.
Pricing expectations
Ask what the seller hopes to achieve and what informed that view, without presenting the answer as a valuation.

Practical answers for agents designing seller intake before a listing consultation.
It is a discovery form completed before an agent's next conversation. It gathers property basics, ownership context, condition, motivation, timing, pricing expectations, and follow-up preferences. Verify details and make listing decisions later.
Ask for contact details, address, property type, occupancy, features, upgrades, repair needs, selling reason, timing, decision-makers, expected price, listing status, and next step. Offer unsure or prefer-not-to-say choices where appropriate.
Match length to intent. Use a few qualification questions for website leads and more property detail before a booked consultation. Hide tenant, co-owner, or listing questions unless relevant.
Yes. Ask for a hoped-for range with an unsure option. Label it as the seller's expectation, not a valuation, and ask what informed it for a later pricing discussion.
Yes. Branch from occupancy and listing-status answers to lease dates, access concerns, current representation, or listing expiration. Other sellers skip those sections.
Yes. Use time frame and next-step answers to tag appointment requests, early consultations, or longer-term follow-up. Keep routing rules visible to your team.
Yes. Makeform supports unlimited free forms and responses, so you can generate, edit, publish, and use the questionnaire without a response cap. The paid tier removes the Makeform badge.
Review contact preference, next step, timing, decision-makers, and condition concerns. Confirm important facts, explain the consultation, and offer an appointment when requested.
Turn seller interest into an informed conversation.
