What should a property sourcing brief include?
Published October 1, 2026 · 1 minute read
The answer
Define location, budget, lawful use, guest capacity, property condition, operating objectives, financing constraints, and acceptable uncertainty. Explain what disqualifies a property. A clear brief helps assess whether a recommendation fits rather than letting each new listing redefine the strategy.
Keep personal preferences distinct from financial requirements. Update the brief only through a documented decision.
