To do the best job for you, your agent will need the best information you can provide. Including:
- preferred price range
- number of bedrooms / bathrooms
- style of home (single-story, two-story, etc.)
- size of yard
- preferred school districts
- geographical areas / neighborhoods of interest
- special needs / special interests which your home needs to accommodate
Keep in mind that a very specific set of criteria may narrow your list of potential properties, while a very broad list may lead to an overwhelming number of properties to view.
