Bouma Team Real Estate- Residential Buyer Intake Questionnaire 
Thanks for filling out our Buyer Intake Questionnaire! The purpose of this form is to give you a chance to tell us more about yourself and what your goals, expectations, and needs are as a Buyer! Buying a home can be overwhelming. Our goal is to take as much of the mental load off your shoulders as possible.

Do you have any questions about the RECO Information Guide or the Buyer Representation Agreement? 

(if we haven't had a chance to go over these documents with you yet just put "N/A")

Have you been pre-approved for financing? If not we're happy to connect you with some great brokers and mortgage agents. If you don't need financing, just write "N/A"  *
Have you bought and sold property before? If so, how recently?  *
Have you worked with a real estate agent before? What was that experience like for you?  *
What's your budget for your next purchase?  *
What geographical area would you like to stick to?  *
Your next home will need to check some boxes. What are your non-negotiables? For example, what's the minimum number of bedrooms and bathrooms you need? Do you need to be a certain distance from a school or place of work?  *
What's important to you but secondary to your non-negotiables... In other words, are there boxes you'd LIKE to check but aren't absolutely necessary? For example, are there certain amenities you'd like to be close to? 
How long do you plan to live in your next home? 
(ex) until your kids are grown, until you retire, for the next 5 years, until you can afford a larger home, etc) 
*
What's your style? Are you looking for something that is or feels like a new build, or do you like century homes or homes with a bit more charm? 
How much time do you spend looking at listings through different platforms, like Realtor.ca, facebook, etc?

Is this a point of frustration in your life or do you enjoy the search?

We've noticed that some of our clients love searching through listings, while others dislike, feel overwhelmed, or simply don't have a lot of time. What has been your experience so far? 
*
How're you feeling as you move forward with your home search?  (ex) apprehensive, unsure, excited, curious, ready for a fresh start..) Are there any obstacles that are standing in your way? 
What day and time of the week are you usually the most available for a check in call? 

Our team will check in to see if any of the properties we've sent you are interesting to you, and to see if you have any concerns or questions about them. 
What day and time of the week are you usually the most available for showings? 
A couple things about showings: 

- We're flexible and can often book showings for the day-of. If you can, it's helpful if you let us know that you'd like to see a home a day or so beforehand. Some listings are tenanted and usually require at least 24-hour notice for showings

- Many sellers have ring cameras, security cameras, apple devices etc. in their houses and listen through during showings. I know- spooky right? To protect your negotiating position, We encourage our clients to refrain from saying anything negative (or overly positive!) about a property, or anything about your finances/financing/motivation for moving, etc. while we're in a listed home. We'll chat about all that once we're out of the house. 

- If you have young kids you're always welcome to bring them to any showings! After all, they're making a big move too and we know they're going to be excited to view different homes as well. We do ask that you let them know they need to be careful with the properties we visit. Keep in mind that some properties have hazards such as pools, roads, fireplaces, etc.
