I belong to the Sacramento Association of Realtors, and in addition to our regional meeting, we have local meetings covering specific parts of our county. Each meeting is followed by a caravan of new listings in that area.
I participate in 2 caravans a week in different areas, and for one of them we have a great feedback system. We all pile into several cars, usually 3-4 people per car, and do a real caravan to each home. After everyone has toured a home, we all gather in the kitchen and fill out feedback forms and leave them with the listing agent for that property. We cover issues like problem areas of the house and yard, neighborhood, price, and recommendations for marketing it. Then we all go on to the next house and do the same.
The listing agent then has in writing all of the comments of the other agents, and can go over them with his/her client to discuss what they can do to get a better price and faster sale. I love this system, as it is tremendously helpful.
For the other caravan, some people go in carloads and others individually, not in a true caravan. We run into each other now and then in some of the homes, but to get feedback, the listing agents have to call or email everyone whose card was left at the home and solicit feedback individually. The problem with that is that the listing agents will call a week or so later,after we've toured 35-50 homes in two areas, and we can't remember which house it was that had the bad carpet or the evidence of leaks or whatever.
Does your local organization or office use one of these methods or something else to get feedback?
