Essential Information

• Client Contact Information. The real estate agent should receive the client’s full name, mailing address, phone number, and email address. The client should also indicate whether they intend to sell or buy property.
• Property Information.
  • Buyer. This party should specify the type of property that interests them and any special requirements the real estate agent should know, such as size, number of bedrooms, location, etc. Additionally, if the buyer has a specific property in mind, they may include information about that property, including the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) number if they know it.
  • Seller. Someone who wants to sell their property should ensure the document includes the address of the property they intend to sell and any information they may want the agent to know upfront. Sellers could use the form to describe the property’s qualities, including the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and square footage.

  Benefits for Real Estate Agents

  Agents benefit from using a client intake form for a number of reasons:

  1. Efficiency – Agents can prioritize clients who have completed the intake form, as those individuals are more likely to be serious about a property search or sale. Agents can more quickly provide customized solutions for clients who offer relevant preliminary information, reducing back-and-forth between the two parties.
  2. Communication – The form can help a client and agent get on the same page regarding the client’s expectations and needs at the beginning of the buying or selling process.
  3. Organization – The real estate agent may be dealing with several new clients. An intake form allows the agent to organize and categorize new clients and know which ones may need to be prioritized.
