Why does the agent on the other side of the deal matter to me?

The agent representing the other side of your deal affects how smoothly your transaction runs, since a responsive, competent counterpart keeps paperwork moving and communicates clearly, while a difficult or unresponsive one can cause delays and missed deadlines regardless of how well your own side is handled. You typically cannot choose who represents the other party, but your own agent's ability to manage that relationship professionally still matters to your outcome. A good agent works around a difficult counterpart rather than letting friction derail the deal. Joel Boss has experience keeping deals on track even with a difficult agent on the other side.
