I never ask and I never give.

It's more for the sellers satisfaction than for the Realtor.

Most feedback can be taken with a grain of salt due to its generality but sometimes a specific point is made which can be useful. It never hurts to ask.

You need to read between the lines and not all feedback is useful. But then you do get some gems. At the end of the day, if five people say the home's interior paint color is garish, it's a clue for the seller to repaint. If a bunch of people say price is too high, there's another clue for the seller to respond. I don't believe that feedback is only to get a seller to reduce their price. I always provide feedback after my showings and that's never the intention. The intention is to provide information that could be useful to the seller as to why my buyer is or isn't interested in their home.

The sellers like to hear something. It can also be a good way to get a better understanding of what the buyer wants. 

I don't ask for it, I don't give it.  I'm qualified to guide a seller without other agents input and what my buyers tell me is confidential.

Bob Crane depends if it really is serious feedback.  Not concerned if they are lame complaints (like we did not like the layout etc which we know and is disclosed in MLS as well as in pictures....)

I will weigh it.  If I hear the same comment(s), I understand what may be diverting their attention from seeing the home's value.  For example, if the color of the rooms is an issue, I would tell the Seller painting may be necessary...etc.

However, I had to laugh when I received feedback today that the Buyer did not like the area.  Seriously?  Shame on the agent who wasted their time with someone who did not check out the area first. 

Hi Bob -- I don't.  A written offer is feedback that I can take to the seller.   

No. I just finished explaining to a seller that many agents just don't provide feedback, and they have no obligation to provide it. It's voluntary, and most of it is usually vague and meaningless. I've had buyers tell me not to provide feedback, especially if they really liked the house. And many times, buyers need a few days of comparing, thinking, analyzing before they can even think about feedback, or decide what they like or don't like about a house and neighborhood.

A second set of eyes will capture items I may have missed!

I like tammy's answer. Many buyers and agents will say the price is too high any way.

Good morning Bob. I have heard that buyers are liars. If their lips are moving, they most likely are not telling the truth.

Good morning Bob. I pay close attention to what people say and what they don't say, as not all communication is verbal.

Bob - The problem is most agents do not provide the right kind of feedback, when they do provide it. I have had a few agents tell me some things that were beneficial, but very rare.

They rarely tell what they are really thinking.  They sugar-coat the showings.
