A few years ago sellers were thinking what do we do to earn our commissions.  A house comes on the market and a lot of the time the seller would get multiple offers and the deal is done.  At settlement the seller looks at the HUD and wonders what did the agent do.  He put a sign on my yard, listed it on the MLS and possible some advertising.  During this time the deal was tougher on the buyers agent to make sure the offer was right and if it wasn't dealing with an upset client.  We'll times have changed and now the sellers realized that it takes work to sell a house and the buyers feel that they are in no rush and want the sky. 

From talking to other agents I am hearing every deal is hard since both sides are being tough on a deal.  The sellers need every penny and the buyers want what they want or they will keep looking.

What do you think about this when doing deals.
