Oh, the Wonders of Agent Caravan Feedback!

Do you have agent caravans in your area?

Having a group of 20, 30, 40, or more real estate agents touring your listings before they hit the market definitely couldn’t hurt – and the agent caravan feedback could prove extremely beneficial for you and your sellers.

Think about it. Agent caravan feedback is a fountain of knowledge, after all, you’re not getting the opinion one buyer at a time, but instead the insight from fellow real estate professionals. They can point out potential issues, giving you and your sellers the opportunity to make adjustments before the potential buyers come to call.

If you haven’t guessed it already, here are the key things you’ll want to get agent caravan feedback on:

• Listing price
• Location
• Layout
• Condition (are repairs necessary?)
• Cleanliness (odors present?)
• Staging (is it necessary or was it a job well done?)
• Curb appeal (yard-work or paint needing touch-up?)
• Additional comments or suggestions

After sharing the agent caravan feedback with your sellers, adjustments can be made to make the home more presentable to the public. If you get an abundance of positive agent caravan feedback then you and your sellers will have the peace of mind knowing the home is ready to show and can then simply look forward to agents bringing the buyers that they feel would be interested in your listing.

For those who may be feeling a little overwhelmed by the thought of collecting, organizing, and neatly presenting any agent caravan feedback, the process can be relatively painless if you have Showing Suite. The system has a default “Agent Caravan” template. Simply send an agent caravan feedback request to each agent and the system will automatically follow up and compile the feedback received into statistical reports you can present to your sellers.

If you haven’t had an agent caravan come through your listings, it may be a good idea to check into setting one up.
