Several buyers are\r\n        competing for the same property. A closing date suddenly\r\n        becomes a problem. A client becomes frustrated.

A reactive agent may turn a low offer into an insult,\r\n        a disagreement into a confrontation, or a temporary impasse into\r\n        a deal that cannot be recovered.\r\n    <\/p>\r\n\r\n    <p>\r\n        A composed agent behaves differently.
