Buyer Qualification Checklist

Qualify a buyer in 2 minutes before you spend time sourcing — budget, financing, intent, timeline.

Before you source — confirm:

  • [ ] Budget range (min + max), not just a ceiling
  • [ ] Financing status — loan pre-approved / AIP / cash / pending
  • [ ] If loan: rough DSR / commitments checked
  • [ ] Own-stay or investment (drives type + area)
  • [ ] Decision-maker present? (spouse / family)
  • [ ] Timeline to move / complete
  • [ ] Areas — primary + acceptable alternatives
  • [ ] Must-haves vs nice-to-haves
  • [ ] Has the buyer viewed elsewhere? What stopped them?

_A qualified buyer is worth ten "just looking" enquiries._
