Start with hard boundaries, but do not stop there.
Template
A buyer intake form becomes useful once it captures the logic behind the search, not just the specs.
The best intake structure gives the agent something usable later: priorities, routines, tradeoffs, and how the buyer wants to decide.
Template blocks
What a buyer intake template should actually include
This is where area fit usually becomes clearer.
A brief without ranking becomes unstable fast.
The shortlist depends on this section more than buyers realize.
This changes how portable the explanation layer must be.
Put the address to work
Start with a property brief, not another blank document.
Use a live address to assemble the public property and neighborhood context that otherwise has to be collected and formatted by hand.
