Field guide
What a property information form should collect.
Use these six sections as a practical starting point, then remove anything that does not support your listing, onboarding, or management process.
Identity and layout
Describe the actual property.
Separate address, type, occupancy, rooms, units, parking, and dimensions.
- Address, unit, type, and use.
- Rooms, units, floors, parking, and storage.

Inventory systems, appliances, fixtures, outdoor areas, security, and accessibility.
- Systems, fuel, meters, and shutoffs.
- Appliances, fixtures, furnishings, and equipment.

Condition and history
Separate observations from assumptions.
Gather improvements, maintenance, concerns, and known dates as owner-provided facts.
- Renovations, replacements, dates, and warranties.
- Known damage, outages, or pending repairs.
- Providers, recurring visits, and open requests.
Occupancy and access
Plan the next visit without another thread.
Capture occupancy, notice, visit windows, entry, pets, and restricted areas.

- Preferred dates and blocked times.
- Key, gate, parking, pet, and entry notes.
Files and declarations
Collect evidence with useful labels.
Label uploads and ask owners to flag estimates or missing items.

FAQ
Property information form questions
Practical answers for agents and property managers designing a clearer owner intake.
What is a property information form?
It is a structured questionnaire for collecting owner-provided property facts, including layout, features, systems, condition history, occupancy, access, contacts, and files. Use the response for intake and follow-up, not as a replacement for inspection or verification.
What fields should I include for a residential listing?
Include the address, seller contacts, property type, occupancy, rooms, parking, dimensions, systems, improvements, concerns, fixtures, access, and photos. Ask owners to identify estimates, and show specialized fields only when relevant.
Can the form change questions based on property type?
Yes. Conditional logic can reveal association questions for condos, unit questions for multifamily property, or loading and power questions for commercial space. Owners see only relevant sections.
Can owners upload property photos and documents?
Yes. Add separate upload fields for photos, floor plans, inventories, warranties, invoices, utility records, or leases. Clear labels help reviewers identify each file and spot missing items.
How should I handle access codes and sensitive property details?
Collect only what is needed and restrict access to the relevant team. Consider requesting active codes through your approved secure process closer to the visit, and review permissions on integrations and exports.
Is this property information form generator free?
Yes. Makeform supports unlimited free forms and responses, so you can generate, edit, publish, and reuse your property intake without a submission cap. The paid tier removes the Makeform badge; it does not unlock basic form volume.
Can I send responses to my existing workflow?
Yes. Review submissions in Makeform or connect Google Sheets, Slack, or Zapier. You can route complete responses, tag missing files, and notify the person responsible for follow-up after checking destination permissions.
Does an owner's submission replace an inspection or disclosure process?
No. Treat it as owner-provided intake for preparing questions and next steps. Conditions, measurements, and records may need observation, source documents, specialist review, or another process suited to the property and location.
