Quick answer

Use it before the first pricing conversation: it surfaces the seller's real deadline, minimum acceptable number and who actually decides — the three facts a listing strategy stands on. Expectations are as stated today, so revisit them if the market moves or the timeline slips before you re-price.

Disclaimer: stated timelines and price hopes are planning inputs, not valuations or commitments to transact.

Constrains-first intake adapted from listing-consultation practice.

About this template

Listing failures trace back to three unwritten agreements: when the seller must be done, what number makes them say yes, and who else must also say yes. This questionnaire writes all three down early — with the life event behind the timeline, the minimum floor versus the headline hope, and the co-decision-makers named. Agents plan the campaign reality; sellers hear their own constraints read back before prices start.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why ask the floor number separately from the asking number?
Because every pricing conversation actually happens between the two. Writing both kills the bait-and-switch feeling when reality lands below the sign.
Isn't a deadline uncomfortable to ask?
It is the kindest question available: it converts hope into a plan or an honest no — and sellers respect the professional who asks early.
What if the answers disqualify the listing?
They still save everyone months — the questionnaire records why, and a later date can reopen it; nothing is lost but false tours.
Does this work for inherited or divorce cases?
Especially there — the decision-circle field names every co-owner and executor before campaign promises get made.
Should the questionnaire be filled before the house is tidied?
Before, ideally: the readiness-gap list becomes the to-do; tidying then has a deadline logic instead of a guilt one.
How is this different from the seller registration form?
Registration collects the property and terms; this collects the human constraints around the sale. Most teams run it in the same visit, one after the other.

Know the deadline before the price tag

Timeline, floor, names — three constraints that plan everything else.
