In this episode of The Last Honest Realtor, David Fleming reveals how the disappearance of buyer feedback and agent follow-up is quietly reshaping Toronto real estate. In 2025, buyers have gone silent—and most listing agents are missing the signals, killing deals through inexperience, confusion, and a refusal to adapt.
From aggressive feedback calls before a showing is over, to agents clinging to 2022 tactics in a buyer-driven market, this episode breaks down the small missteps and missed conversations that now separate a successful sale from a lingering listing.
In This Episode:
- Why listing agents are chasing feedback the moment you leave a showing
- How fear and confusion are paralyzing agents on both sides of the deal
- The critical difference between patient buyers and buyers stuck in indecision
- What actually happens when agents refuse to negotiate or communicate
- The new metrics that matter: showings, inspection requests, and vanished offers
- Why outdated playbooks are costing sellers six figures in lost opportunities
- What listing agents must start doing differently—or risk irrelevance
