If you dont want to hear answer

Feedback is an important tool in the marketing and sale of a home. The Wells Team places a lot of importance in feedback as we work with our clients. We work hard to get feedback from other agents while we are very forthcoming with feedback on homes that we show buyers.

Recently we were showing higher priced Lake Lanier properties. ($450,000 to $650,000). My partner had a request to give feedback on one such property. Her answers were honest and professional based on her buyers opinion.


Comments included:
•Hand prints, from finger paint, on the garage doors
•Kitchen Counter tops with a lot of clutter


Not horrible comments but enough to have our buyer lose interest in the home. Not just any home but a lake home priced in the mid $500,000 price range.


The selling agent was very upset with the comments taking them very personally.


It is a buyers market. They expect a lot, continue to have a lot of choices, and have foreclosures as options.


Bottom line: Don't ask the question if you don't want to hear the answer.
