Actually, Mr. Seller, the Realtors HAVE given us feedback on your Tulsa home for sale
Anxious Sellers want feedback from every showing when their Tulsa home is on the market. At the time of listing, I promise to solicit feedback, but explain that not every Realtor is going to take time to respond to our request for feedback.
And Tulsa home Sellers seem to get angry when no feedback is given. To that, I want to respond, “Actually, Mr. Seller, the Realtor DID provide feedback on your Tulsa home for sale. They did NOT bring us an offer, and THAT, Mr. Seller is indeed feedback.”
It’s important to me to get along with all the active Realtors in my association, so I do my best to provide feedback after a showing. I will admit that I’m more likely to provide feedback when solicited by e-mail, so that I can check my notes or look up the particular listing.
Actually, Mr. Seller, the Realtors HAVE given us feedback on your Tulsa home for sale
For you Tulsa home Sellers reading this, please understand that Realtors work with multiple Tulsa home buyers and sellers at a time. We negotiate contracts, pull comps and often complete a variety of tasks into the wee hours of the morning. In between, we take numerous phone calls and keep in touch with title companies, lenders, repairmen and clients — we are required to multi-task and often do so at our family’s expense.
So, Mr. Seller, if the SINGLE Realtor who showed your Tulsa home for sale this week has NOT responded to my request for feedback, he/she is not trying to be discourteous. They have indeed supplied feedback in that they are NOT bringing an offer.

I don’t live in Tulsa, but I read this article while searching for information about realtors not providing feedback. While your “They have indeed supplied feedback in that they are NOT bringing an offer.” comment is true, I believe it is VERY unprofessional for a realtor to not provide feedback. It takes a lot of time and effort on the sellers part to get a house ready to be shown, and it takes just a few minutes to provide feedback. If you can’t do that, then it sounds like the realty profession is to difficult for you, and you should find an easier job. If you don’t want to do that, then you would not be welcome inside my home with any potential buyer. Go get your money from someone else, because I’m not paying you.

Chris, I definitely agree with you. Sellers deserve feedback and I go out of my way to provide it – because I would like the same courtesy provided for my home Sellers. Our industry is one of service and providing professional communication is key. Thank you for stopping by to comment.
