I respond appropriately.  Every situation will be different and unique to the person I am engaged with.  A canned response to anything just does not fit my style.

I hate to say "it depends" but it does! 

If the objection is something with a clear path to resolution, I just answer. If there could be multiple ways to get them past the objection and more info will help, then I'll ask more questions.

Each circumstance is different. For instance, if someone asked me if there is smoke in the air today, my answer is a straight forward "yes." But if someone asked me whether or not they should offer a certain amount of money on a house, my answer would involve asking them questions such as their motivation, their comfort level, etc.

I would give a solution-based answer, based on what you 'do'.  What I 'think' sounds like it's based more on emotion and feeling, and less on fact.  I will read replies below Andy Brown-Climer School of Real Estate - and I do believe both answers might be correct, based on someone's personality, and that applies to both the realtor as well as the client.

It really depends Andy.  If I know the clients well and think their objection is really not an objection but rather an open to discuss, we'll discuss more about their goals and what they've already told me. And at times if it truly is an objection I hit it head on and suggest an alternative solution

If in discussion, I explore. While exploring, I ask questions. When we come to differences, I want to assess that for accuracy. Finally, the source of the objection is quite relevant. What is behind it? Is it real and reasonable etc.

It is always a more positive step to answer the question and complete the response with a responding question to secure more information, plus, it clues the other party that you are on the same 'page'

Depends on the situation.  Who's objecting, what is my role, how serious are they, etc.  A lookey-loo at an open house, I'll just acknowledge and move on.  A real buyer I'm representing, I'll often probe.  Representing the seller, I always probe.

That's dependent on the situation, of course. 

"The house is too small" might be followed by "How much more space do you need." But "The yard isn't fenced for my dog," doesn't neet a follow up question.
