If asked how your buyer liked the property, you might can use this response.

Original content by Carie Shapiro

FeedbackYou never know how someone will react to a property.

I know you’re seeking feedback from me, however,  I don't have much to tell you.  No, it’s not the room sizes.  No, it’s not the kitchen cabinets.  No, it’s not the paint color.  No, it's not your seller's decorating style.  I’m really sorry I can’t explain it. 

It's true.  Often times, buyers will immediately know that they absolutely, positively adore a place – it’s perfect for them.

Sort of like love at first sight.  Other times, it may take more than one visit before a place starts to 'grow on them.'  On the other hand, buyers might react in a less than positive way – instantly.  Perhaps it’s a vibe.  An inexplicable feeling.  Perhaps, it's a palpable aura or energy force.  Perhaps, it's an eerie aroma triggering an unpleasant flashback.  Whatever it is, something isn't a good fit.  For them.

Please don’t take it personally.

I hope your seller won’t take it personally either.  Quite honestly, it really is a nice place and it shows well.  Otherwise, I don’t know what else to say.  I will say this:  If my client has a change of heart, you will be the first to know.  I promise.

I like it and very true. I had an instructor who said it is against your fiduciary duty to tell sellers what your buyer thought of their property. It is none of the sellers business. If they like it they will make an offer.

Beautiful and tactful answer.  And so true!

I'm primarily a listing agent, and find thoughtful feedback helpful.  A seller needs to hear if their house smells like a litterbox, or that it shows well, but the buyer just didn't care for it.  Feedback helps the listing agent when they've been pushing the seller to stage, repaint, declutter, or lower the price.  Sometimes sellers need to hear it from strangers before they believe it.

As a listing agent I do not beg for feedback as you can never beleive it anyway. If they like it, they dont want you to know they like it that much and if they dont like it, they wont tell you  why anyway. I do like that response Debbie Reynolds

Debbie,

It reminds me of the movie title, "He's Not That Into You!" which dealt with dating.  We did a weekly report for the owners of office building whose vacant floors we were filling. It a nice way of giving feedback.  A

We overrate the conscious mind in decision making like this. I bought my first home because of a knotty pine study despite the work needed in the rest of the home.

When I show a home and my client isn't overly enthused but has no negative comments about it, I tell the listing agent that the house was simply not quite my client's cup of tea.

A great play on words, I dont take it personally when someone does not like my home.  It only takes one, and they will be along soon.
