Below are several sets of descriptions taken from a local real estate magazine.
If you received a Job offer in a distant city and were considering the purchase
of a condominium, which of the following real estate agents would you most
prefer to visit first? Which agent would you least prefer to visit?
In the box next to the agent you would most prefer to visit first, write "1". In
the box next to the agent you would least prefer to visit, write "9". Then go
back and look for the second best, then the second worst, and so on, until all
agents are ordered from "best" to "worst" using the numbers 1 through 9. Thank

We are attempting to assess the kinds of features that people would want to
see when shopping for a condominium in an unfamiliar city. Two pages of
condominium listings have been selected from the Housing Locator Monthly of
a large midwestern city. We would like you to choose the one condominium
that you would most prefer to see if you had a limited amount of spare time
during a brief visit to that city.
We have chosen these two pages from the Housing Locator Monthly for the
following reasons:
1) All listings on these pages are about the same price (within a range
of about 10%).
2) All listings on these pages are about the same driving distance from
the employer (about 15 minutes).
In other words, the condominiums listed on these selected pages are all
about the same with regard to price and location. Again, we would like you
to choose the condominium that you would most like to see if you were on a
brief visit to the employer's city. We also need your opinions regarding
the general format used by this listing service.
Y o u will only have minutes to look over these two pages, after which we
will ask y o u some questions regarding this listing service. Please do not
mark on these pages! Remember, we are mostly interested in the one
condominium you would most like to see if y o u were on a tight schedule while
visiting the employer's city.
