How long should a seller be expected to wait on a buyers response after accepting an offer? I do not want to lose out on other buyers.

I would tell the potential buyer up front that they 24 hours to proceed with the sale and at a minimum give you a cash deposit. It is far too easy for flakes to make offers and never show up.
