@Wesley W.Why not the traditional hinge door? 

This speed can create unrealistic expectations for clients about the time it takes to close a deal, subsequently putting pressure on realtors to hasten processes that traditionally need more time for due diligence.Client RelationsRealtors invest considerable time in building client relationships, providing advice, market analysis, and negotiation skills.
