It depends on the situation but normally buyers are OK with the default of 3 days but there have been a few exceptions.  In our sellers market I don't think putting a short deadline will not work, unless you have a really outstanding offer

Don't ever 'threaten' the seller in an offer. It depends on who's version of 'timely' you are using. I say I want to hear right away like in 24 hours.

Typically, we don't use deadlines here with offers. I only did it once and the deadline wasn't received well. Apparently it pi$$ed off the seller and they didn't want to negotiate. So my buyers bought a different home and the first one with the pi$$ed off sellers expired without selling. I don't know what my point is!

It depends. I find out from the listing agent what the status is of the seller. If in town I give them typically 24 hours.  If out of town or country that could take a bit longer. I also will add that if it's a hot property and I have a feeling more offers will show up (and we saw it first) then I will shorten the time frame if possible to get the home tied  up for my buyers.
