Buying or Selling a home can be very stressful. Hiring a Realtor can help, but cannot entirely prevent, missteps along the way.
Great reminder that we sometimes forget that interpretations and perceptions can be very detrimental when they are not in-line with the other party's intentions. We have contractual deadlines in place here in CO for responses on key actions and that definitely facilitates the process. When those deadlines are not part of the contractual agreement and someone expects them because their previous transactions did have them, it can be an instant red flag for someone who is process oriented. In that case, the other party's not dragging their feet in responding becomes even more important.
Holly this is some good Info for all,good luck with your business and good luck in 2012, E
Well said Holly.
The realtors need to also remember that they should remain rational and not
cause more stress to the process - keep your client's end game in perspective throughout.

Charlie, You are right on, one party was from a state where they were accustomed to deadlines and one wasn't.
Ed, Thanks for stopping by.
Nor, Realtors can definitely fuel the fire if they are not careful. I am big believer in stepping back from the situation and thinking it through before reacting. We are often just the messenger, no need to make a situation more emotionally charged than it already is.
When I sold real estate, time for acceptance was at presentation of the offer. It kept things moving quickly.
