Vendors often receive a blend of buyer comments, but not all feedback holds the same value. Michael Tomadakis trains sellers to distinguish between automatic inspection chatter and the real market signals that drive bidding.

**Decoding the data:**
– **First week focus:** Michael closely tracks the nature and tone of feedback at the first two inspections—are buyers highlighting minor cosmetic details, or do they focus almost exclusively on price and comparison properties?
– **Repeat inspections:** Serious buyers usually inspect more than once. Michael’s campaign logs track repeat visits as a hard sign of real interest.
– **Price resistance:** If multiple buyers cite price as their only barrier, and that matches the tone of recent appraisals, the vendor is likely above market.
– **Complaints versus negotiation:** Michael has seen buyers voice strong criticism (“too small”, “wrong layout”, “needs a reno”) and still make an offer. Emotional language is sometimes used to justify a lower price; Michael advises not to overreact, but look for patterns instead of anecdotes.

**Detailed example:**
During a recent Northcote townhouse sale, of the nine groups through in week one, three made comments about proximity to transport, but two revisited, then submitted soft offers only after the price was revised $20,000 down.

**Takeaway:** Real feedback is best measured in actions: repeat inspections, genuine questions about contract and terms, and offers—even low ones—are the ultimate evidence.
