他们家有一幢小楼,楼上楼下五六个房间。

Is it wrong to say: 他们家是一幢小楼,楼上楼下五六个房间。

他们家有一幢小楼,。。。。 maybe 他们家还有一幢大楼。And we are not sure if they live in the 小楼。

It is ok to say 他们家是一幢小楼,楼上楼下五六个房间, because 家 can be the "family" and also can be "the house the family live in".

I want to ask a real estate agent. Which one is correct?

离我们学校近的地方有什么样子的房子? or 离我们学校近的地方是什么样子的房子?

'离我们学校近的地方...' doesn't sound Chinese...

I would say: 我们的学校附近...

Does this sound Chinese?

离学校远一点儿的地方,...

Yeah, this sounds Chinese to me.

离学校不远的地方 and 离学校很远的地方sound OK

but not 离学校远的地方 or 离学校近的地方

Normally, I would say

我们的学校附近... or 我们的学校这一带...

or 靠近我们的学校...

You can also say 离我们学校近有什么样子的房子, instead of 离我们学校近的地方有什么样子的房子.

Or 在我们学校附近有什么样子的房子.

在我们学校附近有什么样子的房子可以买? could work too.
