I can definately relate to the fear factor.

1 Set a realistist list price for the property2 When you reject an offer please let the agent that it listed with know why it is rejected maybe we can bring the transaction together.3 Don't make us pay out of pocket for work done on the property and expenses to maintain it.4 Don't pay a reduced commission and require a referal fee5 Understand when we say the price is to high we can back it up and will and most likely already have.6 If it is in an area that we don't work let us reject the listing without fear that this is the last call we will get.( You don't want to know how much of a pain it is to drive 60 miles to drop off "all original paperwork")7 Don't sit on offers for a week without some kind of communication.
