Give me a "no drama" settlement every time. I love being bored in between an accepted offer and settlement. This isn't to say that "stuff" doesn't happen. Of course it does. Real estate transactions are complex, and expensive, and demand and deserve a lot of attention to detail.
The difference in making an entire real estate transaction relatively smooth has a lot to do with the agents involved.
Professional agents take action. I know some agents that believe that if they ignore a problem in a real estate transaction, that it just goes away. Professional agents know better. Real estate isn't like wine making. Problems tend to get worse with age. Professional agents attack problems as they occur. No waiting around, fix it and get it off the table.
Professional agents don't let their emotions get in the way. I'm sure you've all dealt with screaming agents, cussing agents, and everything in between. In my experience, that isn't a particularly effective strategy for getting anything done. I've never seen one item on a home inspection report that "self corrected" after being yelled at. Make sure you swear at that lender...that will make the loan commitment smoother. This industry does attract more than a few "drama queens."
Real estate is complex, but it isn't rocket science either. Experience and training, addressing items as they occur, understanding the contract. All these and a few more will go a long way to making a successful transaction.
