How much time does it take you to submit an offer?

[Greg Alway]

I have talked with a few Realtors and they are saying that it takes up to (2) hours in order to submit an offer once a client identifies a residential property they want to purchase.

*****

Example:  You are at your desk.  A person you never met before comes in and states that they want to make an offer on a property immediately. ....... The clock starts now!

How long does it take you to submit an offer on average?

AND

What have you done to automate the system?

Depends on what state I am in. Im licensed in 4 states. In Massachusetts it takes me about 10 minutes. In Maryland/DC its well over an hour just to put together the contract, so 2-3 hours including conversation with client and listing agent.
