Frustrated Realtor Chronicles Part # 5847
For the love of all things holy, please leave feedback after your showing.
I am begging.
I am not asking for a 12-page dissertation. I don’t need a SWOT analysis. I don’t need a narrated PowerPoint presentation.
A text message will do.
“Too small.”
“Too much road noise.”
“Buyers hated the carpet.”
“Not interested.”
“House was fine but they decided to move to Montana and raise alpacas.”
Anything.
Because here’s what happens…
My sellers are on pins and needles.
“Did they like it?”
“What did they think?”
“Any concerns?”
“Did they mention the price?”
“Do they want a second showing?”
And then I get to look like the world’s least effective detective when I have to say:
“I have absolutely no idea.”
Meanwhile, the showing agent requested the appointment, confirmed the appointment, opened the lockbox, toured the property, drove home, ate dinner, watched Netflix, tucked their kids into bed, and apparently entered the Witness Protection Program.
And look, I get it.
Sometimes buyers drag their feet.
Sometimes they don’t know.
Sometimes they need a day or two.
That’s totally fine..
Just tell me THAT.
“Still waiting on buyer feedback.”
Perfect. Great. Wonderful. We have communication.
Because your fingers were intact and working just fine when you were blowing my phone up at 11:00PM because your buyers absolutely HAD to see the house at 8:00AM.. it would be really cool if I didn’t have to summon your spirit through a Ouija board three days later just to find out how it went.
At this point I’m considering adding “Are you still alive?” to my feedback requests.
Sellers think we’re sitting around ignoring them, and honestly, it makes all of us look ridiculous.
So if you’ve shown a house recently…
Leave feedback.
Send a text.
Release a carrier pigeon.
Smoke signals.
Morse code.
Literally anything.
Sincerely,
Every listing agent in America. 👋
