Did you get feedback for showing of your listing?

Praful:  I use a service called Centralized Showing Service.  They set our appointments here in Fort Worth, and also send out automated requests for showing feedback.  When I get those requests, I always give feedback to those Listing Agents.  They need to get back to their sellers, and I think giving them feedback is the right thing to do.

There are always some buyers agents who crab and complain about their "fiduciary" responsibility to their buyers, and will NOT give feedback, but I think that is just baloney.  They, themselves, can give some sort of helpful feedback if they wanted to.  Just wait until THEY are the Listing Agent, and THEY need the feedback.

I contact the buyer's agent the day after the showing via email and usually get a response within a day or two.

I try to get feedback the next 48 hours after a showing. The other agent does not always call me back so soon, but I try.

Hey, Praful — I left a surprise for you in my blog post this morning. What? You thought I was going to tell you exactly what and where? Ha! But this comment is a clue.

Hi, Praful - I neither give feedback nor expect feedback. The best feedback is an offer. Absent that, they I have more work to do. I don't think it's anyone else's job to help me sell a house, and it's not my job to help them sell a house. The other thing is that my clients might not have any interest right now, but they might come back to that house, say, a month down the road. Providing feedback could be detrimental to my client's position. 

Hi Praful.....ditto to what Jim said.....it doesn't make sense to believe the buyer agent....he represents the buyer.....he's not going to be honest with you....the offer is the feedback.

Praful - I came here via Russel's Golden Oldie's post.  I am a listing agent primarily, but I'm respectful of agents who don't want to give feedback.  Feedback is a gift.  I don't need EVERY buyer's agent to give me feedback, just enough to provide my client with verification of things I've probably already told them they need to do, but they just had to hear it from others.  I do tend to give feedback on the listings I show if I'm personally asked.  I ignore the automated feedback forms.  I find them insulting.  If you want me to take the time to give you feedback, then take the time to call or e-mail me personally.

I agree that the best feedback is in the form of an offer but still, I do respond to phone calls, emails or even those automated ones.

Praful - Thanks for posting this blog. I found it on Russel Ray's Golden Oldies Blog. This is a big deal to me too. I always give feedback and as quickly as I can. I don't do it in a way that will hurt my buyer but, I am honest about it. Sometimes it is from  me and sometimes from the buyer. It depends on the situation. If an agent doesn't send feedback, I will call them if it is a listing we desperately need feedback on. It all depends but, I think each agent needs to do their part and at least acknowledge showing the property. Sellers anxiously await this feedback.
