  • Bolton: using viewing feedback without taking it personally

Viewing feedback is most useful when it reveals a pattern. One person's decorating preference should not automatically become your next project.

What to consider

Ask your agent to distinguish comments about price, condition, layout and presentation. Find out whether each concern stopped the viewer considering an offer.

Look for a pattern before changing course

Separate an observation from the conclusion you draw from it. A viewer may dislike a finish but still recognise that the home meets their needs; another may like the photographs but find the layout unsuitable. Ask how comments relate to the decision to proceed. Repeated, specific concerns deserve a discussion, while isolated preferences may not justify expense. Agree how any change will be assessed so your response produces useful learning rather than activity alone.

Your next step

Look for repeated, specific objections. Agree a response to the strongest pattern, then assess whether the change improves the quality of interest.
