Listing Feedback?

I leave feedback. I fthere is a problem i.e. pet odor,rat beans, ect they need to know so it can be fixed.

Corey, we find feedback to be extremely helpful. It is much easier to provide it when the listing agent is set up with a showing service like CSS because we get a feedback form emailed to us. It takes 30 seconds and can be done any time. I think agents don't want to take the time to personally call a listing agent to give feedback so email is easiest. We try to always give feedback.

Hi Corey,

  The automated feedback systems are best.  The agent who showed the listing can respond to the automated e-mail when they get a moment to do so.

  I always give feedback when requested.  If my buyers are not interested, it is a way to maybe spread a little good will and help out the listing agent and seller with some constructive input.  Why not be helpful if you can?  If your clients are at all interested in the property, just take care to not "give away" anything that could weaken your client's position in potential negotiations.  For example, the feedback would not be "Wow!  My clients fell in love with your listing!  They would give just about anything to live there!"   You just have to use common sense and always remember that your buyers are your clients.

On the listing side, the more constructive input the better.  Especially if there is something in particular that you have been pointing out to the sellers that then comes up repeatedly in the feedback.

I think it is very helpful in both directions. Sometimes it can make a difference if the feedback could result in changes to the listing or in our own buyer's expectations.

It is always beneficial both for the agent and the sellers.  The agent needs to be more persistent in getting the feedback from the showing agents.

We always try to give feedback. The good and the bad are easy. Its the average home that's more difficult to give constructive feedback about.

Corey,

If we want the public to view agents as professionals we can start by extending professional courtesy. I agree with the others that automated email is fine, is great. JMHO

When I show 8-10 properties in one day, I tend to forget to give feedback on all of them, unless one is really bad. But, if an agent asks, I always give feedback.
