He wasn't returning her calls or emails promptly at all, so this only added to the confusion. 

Each Co-owner hereby agrees to promptly sign any additional instruments or documents that are necessary or appropriate to carry out the purpose of this Agreement.27.

Your comments have prompted some introspection.

I'm building a growing network of contacts, and I'm often surprised at how generously and promptly people generally respond to my questions.

Live cats - code enforcement estimated between 40 and 80, and promptly cited me the day after I purchased the house, despite the prior owners status quo for many years.Very next deal: 35-40 cats w/ cat boxes.

Three phone numbers is costing me about $60/mo when all the smoke clears with taxes included, so it's not cheap, but it's cheaper than a live human being and does a lot for me.I use RingCentral as my one stop shop for Buyers, Sellers, Landlords interested in Property Management, Tenants, and 24 hour recorded information on properties for Sale and available rentals.The marketing / business cards for each business route people to the correct MAIN phone number within the system and they get appropriate IVR prompts.

Starting at the top; @Joshua Dorkin , for being my, (and everyone's) first colleague, founding such a fabulous website, doing the podcasts, and promptly answering any questions that I have had for him.

@Dennis Pressey Jr except that a phone call interrupts someone's day whereas a postcard can be dealt with at one's leisure, voicemails also are looked at promptly by many people as it is possible that they are important. 

In addition to this, calling can be very time consuming if done manually, prompting many people to switch to an automated dialer such as Mojo or Calltools.

@Brian OrtinsThank you for responding promptly and for the valuable information.
