I don't even let sellers begin to pack until we've clearned the "conditional" phase and then it's ONLY if I know what the conditions are and buyers don't always share and nor do loan officers.... it depends if it's house/appraisal related or buyer related if I say "go" on the "do we start packing?" question.

That's a very good point!
