I’m pretty sure we can all agree that politeness is harder to come by as each day passes.  And every business is morphing into a different character, trying to adjust to constantly changing social landscape.  But here’s one thing that should not change.

When you are allowed to enter the home of a stranger to walk your buyer clients through, to test cabinet spaces and check out closet size and configuration, peek into the crawl space, walk the property…the very least you can do is send feedback to the agent who lists this property for sale for these seller clients.  After all, they have just let you stroll around their home.

You are doing a good thing for your buyers, and you are also getting paid.  And you are also in the business with the listing agent who needs your feedback.  Realize that these sellers want to know your opinion of the home because they may be able to make changes to make the home more appealing.

And if you ignore your obligation to provide feedback, you create more work for the listing agent, who now has to track you down, has to inform their seller clients that you didn’t provide feedback, just more annoying time sucking activities that would not be necessary if you, buyer agent, would do your job.  

And it is the polite thing to do regardless.  

Your friendly reminder from Brenda Briggs, Coldwell Banker Advantage.  Find me online and by the way, I will let you know what my clients thought of your home if I am in buyer agency.  That’s a promise.
