The decision to make first
An FAQ can fill a page without helping visitors if it repeats marketing claims instead of explaining the team’s real contact and scheduling process. Prioritize stable operational questions with approved answers, and route property-specific or professional-advice questions to the appropriate team member.
What the handoff should contain
For every answer record the question in visitor language, approved response, owner, related page and the event that should trigger a review.
Suggested wording to approve
Example wording: “These answers explain how to contact the team and request the next step. Property details and individual arrangements still need their own confirmation.”
Test the difficult case
Compare the FAQ with a small anonymized sample of call reasons and check whether a new visitor can find the relevant process answer. Do not turn a broad FAQ into legal, financing or valuation advice, or imply every external system is already connected.
Worked example
Fictional example: The team repeatedly answers how showing requests are confirmed, but the FAQ mostly contains broad promotional questions. Replace one with a clear process explanation. A test reader should understand that a preferred time is not automatically reserved and know which team contact can confirm access, without needing to call simply to interpret the website.
Review it in operation
Review unanswered recurring questions and add content only when the team can approve a useful and sufficiently specific response.
