You've Got Feedback! I Had to do some cow roping for it...

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Seller:

Over the last couple of weeks, I've stalked the showing agent and even wrestled them to the ground for feedback and YES...I finally have some comments for you.

"The grass is a bit...well there isn't any"

"The neighbors dog can see over the privacy fence"

"We wanted a ranch home not a 2-story"

"Love the home, but it showed so well the buyer decided to wait until spring to buy"

Sincerely,

Your Realtor

Yay! My sellers have several showings on their home after a seemingly slow time in the market. I was excited, the sellers were really excited and so we waited. And waited. And waited. And....nothing!

No offer. No call. No feedback.

As with all my listings I make a call to the showing agent and send repeated follow up emails until I get feedback about the home. It's common courtesy for agents to acknowledge they showed your clients home by providing feedback...you know...those remarks and comments about the home that we have to interpret the meaning of most of the time.

Anyway...back to my point. How many times is too many to send an email or call an agent asking about them to tell me about the best and worst parts of the home. I mean all the sellers and I want to know is what we can improve upon to get this home sold.

But...the showing agent provides NOTHING! No offer. No call. No feedback.

Let's face it. Much of the time, the feedback we receive is less than useful. Comments like "showed well but no further interest." OK...TELL ME WHY there is no further interest. It takes only another second or two. Anyway, feedback of any kind is better than the unknown for a seller.
