He's Just Not That Into Your Listing

Feedback can make a difference, not all of the time and some of the time I have got homes sold just because of the feedback and thee was not a complete understanding to the buyer what the seller might do and I have put the seller and buyer together.

Love the title! Congrats on the Feature!

The gut feeling instict plays a much bigger part of house hunting than does logic for sure.

Carie, great blog post, and comments. I like when buyers give you a feedback, thats really

helps. Thank you for sharing!

Great post, I have often feel like I shouldn't say anything because there is nothing good to say but I feel obligated to give feed back that was asked for.

If a listing agent really wants feedback, telephone me and speak with me. 

Don't send me a form with no relationship to the house. 

I'm happy to give personal, informed feedback, to an interested listing agent.  Especially if it's soon enough that I can remember the property and not 2 weeks later. 

Also, if I say the buyers didn't like the back yard that backed to a busy, noisy road, don't argue with me and say it's not a problem.  

Also, if you have that much interest in the property and expect 3 offers later today, why are you calling me?

Don't get me wrong.  I sold a home one time because the listing agent called me and revealed facts about the owner/sellers that permitted me to write a contract favorable to my buyer. 

So, I'm always ready to TALK, but make it meaningful. 

The buyer of the real estate can love the property listing. But not be "in love" with it. Like dating, courting, sparking, there is a difference.

Carie - This is so true. Even we as an agent can look at a property and think it is a great property for the price and know it well sell fast. The buyer may not have the same feeling and may not be able to explain why. 

Good morning Carrie. This is a very clever title and boy is your point true. Nicely done. Enjoy the day.

How do you put a shoulder shrug into feedback? Total ambivalence.

I always try to find the positive in everything. Most agents and sellers like feedback and it is sometimes useful. Scratch my back and I'll scratch yours. If I don't get any from you, that's ok too!

This is the reason that giving feedback can be frustrating...to all of us.  We just don't know what they are thinking and we are pushed to try to find a possible reason that the buyer didn't write the offer.  Sometimes, like you said, there is not a reason, it just wasn't the one.

OK, my wife saw my previous post when I was typing it and now just brought it up. My wife said don't you guys know it is just like dating there are a lot of great guys and a lot of losers but you just keep dating until you find the one you want to marry. I'm a broker but she does the house dating until she finds the one she wants to marry, and then we move in. So maybe now I will just use line the buyers thought your house was a nice date but it just wasn't the one they wanted to marry.

Where do you get your graphics for your blogs?  They're always great.

Helpful feedback is exactly that and we are appreciative of it.."not that into"...."not soooo much !" 

Hi Carie

I really liked this post, and found my way back a few years thanks to Debbie Reynolds reblog. There have been times when coming up with specific feedback from buyers is very difficult...and sometimes it really IS just a feeling.

It's true, buyers are looking for love.  It's an emotional connection, not a rational one.  Everything about the house can be perfect, and still .. a no.   "My buyer is just not that into your house" is as good an explanation as any!

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.
