The way I convey the information depends on the seller.  They always get the truth and most often the unsanitized version.

We believe that our clients deserve to know the truth. If it's an email or a text, we copy it to them. However, if it's totally nasty...I may tweak it just a little if I know the seller is sensitive.

I guess sellers press their agents for feedback after a showing. But what do they expect, their house is what it is, why tell them it's in the wrong neighborhood, the configuration isn't right etc. None of these things can be changed. Maybe a "someone is smoking in the house and it turned my sellers off" is helpful.  But in my opinion, feedback should be geared to the agents, though, such as "an offer is coming" is nice, better than "my clients made an offer on a home down the street."

If I am forced to give a feedback, I give it lots of sugar or merely say, "they've just started looking".  I do not hold much weight in either giving or receiving feedback.

Sugar coat if they are not buying o ther wise most listing agent will argue with you about it, if they are interested, they are just thinking about it,

No need to sugar coat showing results.  We set up the sellers to receive all comments - which should reinforce the true asking price - especially if it is overpriced.

Quoting others is great, that way you convey the message you've probably tried to get across yourself and this time in a more direct way e.g. the buyers didn't like the popcorn ceiling.

Feedback usually means they are not interested. Agents considering making an offer should not show their buyers hand so I think most feedback is critical.
