Buyer Questionnaire · Coquitlam Move-Up Families

## Start with a plan — not a listing.

Three to five minutes. The same questionnaire I send every Coquitlam move-up family I work with. By the time we talk, we’re already aligned on timing, neighbourhood, and what “the right home” looks like.

Quick Answer

What is the first step to buying a home in Coquitlam?

Before showings or MLS links, fill out a 3-5 minute buyer questionnaire so the search is built around your actual non-negotiables — timeline, budget ceiling, neighbourhood priorities, school catchments, and what 'the right home' means to your family. **Craig Johnston, Top 1% Team Member — Greater Vancouver REALTORS®**, then prepares a hyper-local buyer roadmap before your first conversation. No generic MLS dumps.

Before we tour homes

## Most buyers don’t need more listings — they need a clearer process.

This questionnaire gives us both the same starting picture: what you want, why you want it, what you can’t live without, and where you have real flexibility. It’s 12 short sections — most buyers finish in well under five minutes.

Part 1 · 3 sections
About you
Contact, timing, and what you’ve already seen.

Part 2 · 4 sections
Your home
Type, size, bedrooms, neighbourhoods, must-haves.

Part 3 · 5 sections
Your plan
Financing, comfort zone, trade-offs, decision style.

Finish

Written read-back from Craig within 24 hours.
