Typically, I will wait to see if the listing agent asks for feedback and then I will give it.  Unless there was something going on at the showing that the listing agent needs to be aware of.

In my area, selling agents almost never call a listing agent to leave a feedback. Some listing agent do follow up on showings, but most of agents are too nice to tell the honest feedback or they just simply don't remember details( after showing 5 other properties).

If the listing agent has been proactive, chatted with me and requested feed back I most certainly will prove my buyers evaluation and mine if wanted. If the request is via auto-responder email from the mls or showing service never, ever, ever.

An exception will be if I see potential hazard or damage I will notify the listing agent. For example, back door, front door or slider unlocked at my arrival, plumbing leak, storm caused damage, or evidence of unintended occupancy.

If the agent has to set up an appointment with a tenant, for example, I try to get back to the listing agent and tell them that they were very cooperative, didn't leave, place was a mess, etc. That's something that they should know. Generally, the listing agent knows what he's got and doesn't need me to stroke him. That would also not help my client if we are interested.

After a particularly successful day showing lots of houses, the listing agent call me to provide feedback. And I start with the buyer observation. The agent asks, "Did the buyer comment on whether to above ground pool should be removed?" 

Opps, I gave you feedback on the wrong hours. Yours is #842.  Here's the feed back your your listing. I would assume much of the email badgered feedback is FAULTY.

If the agent ask for feedback, yes please give it.   When I was a buyers agent I always wrote down notes about each house for my memory but also if the listing agent asked for feedback.  Now as a listing agent I rarely get feedback from buyers agents.  Its frustrating, but I'm not surprised and have prepared my sellers for it.

 Port St Lucie, Yes I like feedback but my main concern here is not to violate our Code of Ethics. I will not and do not expect to place any client in a poor position to negotiate on the purchase of a home. My opinion on the property is all I'm  willing to give and just that is what I expect from a professional Realtor.

We use Showing Desk which will prompt the agent for feedback.  I give feedback that is good, bad and neutral.  I think Professional agents give feedback - kind of like the golden rule....do unto others as you want done unto you.  Don't you like getting feedback?  It can help with price reductions, home clean up, etc.

Hi Frank as Lise Howe and Patricia Kennedy replied --- unless there is some sort of red flag --- water leaking, intruders in a vacant house, something askew -- I don't call the listing agent.   If they are interested in knowing my feedback, they can find me.  

As Inna Ivchenko commented -- most feedback is not particularly helpful.

I don't call - only because time is so limited and valuable - but I always, always provide feedback to listing agents.  It's something I want and "need" for my listings and certainly make sure to do the same for others.  Now, obtaining feedback from showing agents on my own listings has been like pulling freaking teeth for some reason, which I don't quite understand.  I can make 3-4 attempts (email, text, etc) and 95% get no reply.  I haven't come across an agent yet that doesn't want/need showing feedback on their listings, so you'd think they'd show the same courtesy, but ...

I thank the listing agent for showing property. If feedback is requested depending on buyer's interest I respond either:

1. Thank you for showing 123 Any Street. My buyers are still looking. 

2. Thank you for showing 123 Any Street. My buyers have decided to move forward on another property.

First, the listing agent has to contact me for feedback. If they don't, it's not my job to contact them about their listings.

 

Second, we use a showing service, which emails requests for feedback. I might only call if four requests have been emailed and there's no response.

If an agent takes the time to send me something (automated or not) I will always reply.  I agree with Frank that you should contact the agent if there is an issue (smell, safety issue, etc) and also that feedback should be careful, in case your client may be interested. 

 

However, if beds weren't made, house dirty, key broken, etc., I will give that feedback, regardless.  I reply with constructive criticism, if needed.  I appreciate the feedback, so I find something may  be helpful to others.
