Choose the unit of analysis
State whether you mean an individual agent, an office or the brokerage organization. Describe any relationship between those levels that matters to the request.
Separate an individual agent, office and brokerage before asking for a tailored audience discussion.

An individual agent, a local office and a brokerage are distinct audience definitions. Put the relationship into the request before adding location or contact requirements.
State whether you mean an individual agent, an office or the brokerage organization. Describe any relationship between those levels that matters to the request.
Separate the area an agent serves from the location of an office. Name the geography you intend to use for inclusion rather than treating both as one location.
List adjacent roles, organizations or locations that should fall outside the request. State how you want repeated agent, office or brokerage relationships handled.
Use these as unconfirmed request criteria. For each one, ask what evidence could support the definition and what remains unresolved.
| Decision | Define in your request | Evidence to ask about |
|---|---|---|
| Audience level | Individual agent, office or brokerage | How the person, location and organization would be distinguished |
| Relationship | Which agent-to-office or office-to-brokerage relationship matters | How the relationship would be represented and reviewed |
| Geography | Agent service territory, office location or both | What each location means and how it would be assessed |
| Exclusions | Adjacent roles, organizations and areas to leave out | How exceptions and repeated relationships would be handled |
| Contact requirements | Which contact details your review would require | Which details can be discussed and which remain unconfirmed |
Decide which definition drives inclusion before combining person and organization criteria.
Request A: Review agents whose service territory is the specified county.
Request B: Review offices located in that county, then discuss the agent relationships separately.
These requests ask different questions. This example describes requirements, not available records.
Write one sentence identifying the individual, office or brokerage you mean to include.
State the geographic definition, relationship requirements and exclusions together.
List the evidence you want to review and the contact requirements that still need discussion.
An agent request names an individual professional as its unit of analysis. An office request concerns a location, while a brokerage request concerns an organization. State which level you mean and how the relationships should be reviewed.
Specify them separately. An office address and an agent’s intended service territory answer different questions. Define which geography controls inclusion and what evidence you want to review.
No. A contact record or a role label does not establish a current project, a buying need or purchase intent. Keep audience criteria separate from any intent assessment.
No. The worksheet describes requirements to discuss. It does not confirm that records, fields or filters are available. Record the evidence and unresolved questions for each criterion.
Share the audience level, territory definition and exclusions you want to review.
