Member Resource Hub
This is a Shortlist member resource, designed to help you create a brief that is focused, realistic, and aligned with your long-term plan.
When you are buying from overseas, it can feel difficult to work out what type of property truly fits your needs. Many remote buyers start with vague ideas, scroll through listings, and hope that something clicks. The Property Profile Quiz removes the guesswork and turns your instincts into a structured brief that supports every decision you make next.
Why This Quiz Matters
This quiz helps you understand your buyer profile so you can build a sharper property strategy. Each section reveals how your preferences translate into real decisions about what to buy, where to buy, and how to evaluate the right options from overseas.
Your results will point you toward the next step in your Shortlist framework, whether you need clarity on lifestyle goals, financial thresholds, or investment strategy.
What the Quiz Covers
1. Your Intent and Goal
Understanding your intent is the foundation of your brief.
It sharpens your strategy so every choice aligns with your future timeline and long-term plans. Whether you are buying for lifestyle, investment, or both, this section helps you focus on properties that match your real priorities instead of reacting to random listings. It also prevents wasted effort by giving you a clear framework that guides every next step.
2. Lifestyle and Functionality
This part of the quiz looks at what truly supports your day-to-day comfort. It helps you understand the type of living setup that fits your routines, expectations, and long-term flexibility. Many remote buyers skip this step and later realise the property does not suit their lifestyle once they return. This section keeps your search grounded in what actually works for you.

3. Financial Focus and Risk
Your financial profile defines what you can comfortably hold over time. This section helps you assess how much flexibility you have so you can target properties that align with your comfort level. It guides you toward choices that respect your appetite for risk, ongoing costs, and future potential. This keeps your brief realistic and protects you from stretching into properties that become stressful to maintain from overseas.
4. Property Attributes
Here you refine the specifics:
• Preferred size
• Outdoor space
• Layout
• Strata or apartment fees
• Low or high maintenance preferences
These details help you translate broad preferences into clear, ranked criteria that allow you to filter properties with confidence.
