Clarify what you are looking for
Specify the area, budget, property type and timeline so a broker can understand your search.
A targeted search can include alerts or options agreed upon with your broker, depending on the available listings and marketing rules.
Understand listing availability
Access and marketing conditions vary depending on the listing and the agreement with the broker.
Ask whether a property is actually available, what the visit arrangements are and what information can be shared.
Check the agreement and fees
Before signing a mandate, understand the term, the services and the applicable conditions.
A promise of “exclusive” access does not guarantee that a property will fit your budget or criteria.
