Urgency can drive a decision. Being considerate of others schedules shows professionalism. That being said certain steps in a Real Estate transaction take time, we can not make bank underwriters or title searches go any faster then the time needed to complete them competently. Real Estate in general is a slow game.
I am aware that many professionals on Active Rain let clients know about the timeline right at the very first meeting. This is one sign of a good agent.
I have had clients purchase sight unseen and I've had clients take over a year to pull the trigger. Even purchasing a home sight unseen is going to take four to six weeks in our market.
Getting down to a more micro level of purchasing real estate a client needs to know about the common cutesy of viewing homes on Sellers schedules, keeping appointments with Bankers, Title companies and other professionals involved. Again, a good RE professional is going to prep the client for the way things work in their market.
Explaining how things work in your market will make your transactions go much smoother.
