I hate it when a Realtor gets defensive, been dealing with one this week. He is too emotionally involved in his sellers house.

Every comment is a counter.

I believe that what goes around comes around, so I try to provide feedback as much as possible (when requested). I personally prefer an email over a phone call and also use Homefeedback.com for my own listing’s feedback.

I think I would have been a little taken aback by “Paulette’s” response to your feedback. It’s called feedback for a reason. You want that agent’s honest opinion so you can go to your seller and address any conditions or objections openly — with something solid to back it up. I love getting feedback, positive OR negative!

And seriously, the home has been on the market for 3 years??? Good grief! At what point does someone pick up on the fact that something isn’t right?? Yikes.

I’ve actually started using text messaging to give listing agents feedback (and also to schedule showings), which saves a lot of time and is incredibly easy. Most experienced agents don’t need a huge explanation, “liked layout but yard too small” type feedback seems to work just fine for me.

Here in KC our initial feedbacks are all done by email….thank God. I’m happy to fill them out. But get very annoyed when an agent calls me and starts trying to sell me on the home.

First – I’m not buying.

Second – I’ll let you know if they are making an offer on your property.

Third – Like you said, if you don’t want to know, don’t ask.

I’m in the if you’re smart enough to get the listing, you’re smart enough to know how to market it without my help. Why would I help a competitor position their sellers ahead of my sellers or the sellers of my brokerage.

I have spit flecked rant sprayed at this subject of feedback and Broker Open Houses…it’ll be up on Monday.

Great post!

Masterpiece!!! Absolute Masterpiece! As a buyer’s agent is not your job to make the seller happy or do the seller’s agent job. Yes feedback is an essential part of the showing but not a requirement. The amount of showings and lack of offers should be a tell-tale sign that you are out of the ball park either with condition or price.

I use www.homefeedback.com and get returns about 80% of the time. No fuss. No muss.

As far as pay it forward, Chris is the queen of pay it forward. In fact, she deserves a crown. Maybe even a throne.
