Prioritise your Preferences!
The Goal
Now that you’ve clarified what kind of property suits your goals, it’s time to prioritise. A clear brief is the filter that saves you from endless scrolling and second-guessing. When you define what matters most, everything else becomes faster and easier. By the end of this page, you’ll have a concise property brief built around your purpose, price, and non-negotiables.
Shortlist Tip: This single step removes roughly 80 percent of apartments and half of all houses that do not fit your criteria. That means weeks of saved search time and a sharper focus on what truly works.
📄 Priority Filter Template
Download the Priority Filter template to sort every property feature into three simple categories:
- Essential
- Preferred
- Bonus.
This is how to stay disciplined and avoid overwhelm when comparing listings.
Property Focus Worksheet
Use this worksheet to build two or three clear property concepts based on your Step 1 brief.
Each concept should define your purpose, price, and must-haves.
This is the foundation you will use when applying the SMART Filter in Step 2.
