If direct communication is not productive, the real estate agents involved should work together to facilitate a resolution.

Encourage the seller to have open and direct communication with the seller of their new home to understand their situation and find common ground.

If the title issues are complex, the seller may need to engage legal counsel to navigate the resolution process.

The seller should work closely with their title company to understand the specific title or survey issues and the steps required for resolution.

If feasible and the seller is comfortable with the risks, they might consider waiving certain contingencies, though this should be done with careful consideration.

The seller needs to actively negotiate with the seller of their new home to resolve inspection or appraisal issues promptly, potentially through repairs or credits.

If the current lender is the bottleneck, the seller might need to explore alternative lenders or bridge financing options.

Advise the seller to immediately contact their lender to understand the exact nature of the financing delay and explore expedited options.

If feasible and appropriate, suggest a brief direct communication with the buyer to expedite their input.

Gently ask the agent if there are any buyer-side delays that are contributing to the communication lag.
