None. I've never used showing feedback. The only feedback I need is an offer or two or twenty.

I've used ShowingSuite (which some of you know as Centralized Showing) for many many years and love that the questions can be customized for each property.  I get an excellent response rate too!

I use Centralized Showing Service for all of my listings.  They have an email system that automatically emails the agent 3 times requesting feedback.  Works pretty good.

I try to have all showings set up via Showing Time, which is integrated with our listings.  It sends out auto feedback requests;  I'd say about 60% of the agents respond to it.  If they say something like "need a larger, flat backyard for children" then I don't need to follow up because it is what it is.  If I do not get a response, I follow up with a phone call.

I call each agent for feedback.  If it seems that they prefer text, I text asking for feedback.

I understand that feedback services are convenient and popular, but I feel like a service puts an extra layer between the agents.  Sometimes a conversation can be much more useful.

I seldom get too excited by the feedback, some of it is meaningless, some is clearly trying to soften us up for a lowball, and some of it may be usefull.

Jill Murty, Realtor - Orange County, CA  and I use the same method.

When a  feedback service requests such feedback, my philosophy is this can not be more important to me that to the listing agent, so the request is ignored.

If I REALLY want feedback, the showing agent will KNOW and they will either delver feedback immediately, usually text, or wait my call.

Tony and Suzanne Marriott, Associate Brokers , I'm cheap and lazy. I send myself a link to the home with the subject Feedback Please, and then use the address.  I then forward this link to all the agents who showed it along with a list of specific questions about the property and request their response.  

I offer to return the favor, which I generally do.  The response is okay, some will answer each question, others will just say something general like, not the right house, or first time out with this buyer.

We use Showing Desk but I think I elevated all my responses by changing their stupid standard questions. You have the ability to customize those puppies you know.  I changed my questions to on a scale of 1 to 5, etc.

No people much answer the FB at a decent percentage.

I don't request feedback. If they choose to provide it, that's fine, but it's not a big concern since most of it is vague.
