AskGuru Q&A Community

**Yes, it is standard industry practice, but you are completely entitled to set boundaries and take your time.**

Agents push for post-viewing feedback for two primary reasons:

### 1. Why Agents Do It

* **Buyer Agents:** An appointed buyer's agent needs your honest reactions (e.g., *"layout felt cramped," "too near the corridor," "good natural light"*) to calibrate your preferences and stop scheduling mismatched units.
* **Seller Agents:** If you viewed directly with the seller's representative, their duty to the seller is to report viewer sentiment, gauge offer readiness, and find out whether the asking price or condition is meeting market resistance.
* **Sales Urgency:** Some agents try to strike while the viewing is fresh to create momentum or test whether you are ready to make an offer.

### 2. How to Manage It Without Feeling Pressured

You never have to provide immediate, on-the-spot verdicts while walking out of a lift lobby. It is completely reasonable to digest what you saw, discuss numbers with your partner, and review your finances first.

**Copy-paste this message to set a clean boundary:**

> *"Thanks for arranging the viewing today! My partner and I always debrief and compare our options together in the evening. We'll take 24 to 48 hours to assess the unit against our shortlist and will let you know if we'd like to arrange a second viewing or make an offer."*

If an agent continues to message repeatedly after that, a polite *"Still evaluating our options, no updates for now; will reach out if there's interest"* will establish the distance you need.

Dear sir/mdm,

Thank you for your understanding in the follow up efforts of my fellow realtors after viewings. It is normal for us to follow up with prospective buyers on their feedback and decision as sellers will also be checking in if we have followed up on the buyers who viewed.

I also understand that the decision and feedbacks may not be so straightforward and buyers may need more time to have any decisions. It will be helpful of course to indicate that you may like more time to consider and when it is good for the realtor to follow up with you. That will allow you more space and time to think without being disturbed unnecessarily.

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 15 years of experience serving the Singapore real estate market. Check out the EdgeProp featured article on myself recently at https://www.edgeprop.sg/property-news/geryl-lim-leading-landed-real-estate-heart-hustle-and-harmony

I am very active in the residential segment of Singapore real estate market, having transacted hundreds of deals from HDBs to private condominiums and landed properties in Singapore, and have handled many unique cases in sales and purchases as well as rental deals.

Over the years, I have also established a network reaching out to more than 15,900 expatriates, bringing my market presence to both in and outside of Singapore. This has created an additional exposure when I manage my client's portfolios, on top of the conventional on and offline platforms, where other estate agents are relying on. This has allowed me to consistently convert leads into results.

With an evolving market, where change is the only constant, I have also been investing in upgrading of my knowledge and skills sets to improve myself and meet the demands of current and future market.

It is normal industry practice and a mark that the agent is doing their job well for the seller to actively help sell the home.

While you are not obliged to share any thoughts, the agents would certainly appreciate it when buyers are open to share :)

If there is genuinely nothing wrong with the home but you require some time to think, this is completely understandable too - Telling the agent exactly this is extremely helpful feedback too :)

Meanwhile, if you do require an additional professional lens to analyze the options you are considering and figure out the pricing strategy for your purchase, I'll be happy to come in to help!
