Confession #1002 — Other Agent Was the Problem

“The wire didn't arrive. Three days before closing the wire didn't arrive and I'm calling the other agent like hey we need to figure this out and she goes oh yeah the buyers decided to switch lenders last week. Last week. We're closing Friday and they switched lenders last week and nobody thought to maybe mention this to the listing side? And I'm trying to stay calm because my sellers already bought plane tickets to move to Phoenix (non-refundable, like $800 worth) and this agent is acting like I'm being unreasonable for wanting more than 72 hours notice that we're pushing closing by minimum two weeks. So I ask her when the new lender can realistically close and she goes I don't know I haven't talked to them yet. You haven't talked to them yet. Your buyers switched lenders and you haven't talked to the new lender. She said she was waiting for them to reach out to her. The lender. To reach out to the agent. That's not how it works, that's never been how it works, I don't even know what to say to that so I just said okay well can you call them now and she said she was at lunch.”

GUILTY OF CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE IN THE FIRST DEGREE, AGGRAVATED LENDER ABANDONMENT, AND LUNCH-BASED DERELICTION OF DUTY

“The Court has reviewed this confession and frankly Reginald needs a moment because his blood pressure medication was NOT calibrated for this level of professional malpractice. Let the record show that the opposing agent committed what can only be described as a COMPLETE ABDICATION OF BASIC COGNITIVE FUNCTION, as established in the landmark case of Actually Do Your Job v. Whatever This Is, 2019. She was WAITING for the LENDER to reach out to HER? The Court once waited for a sandwich to make itself and you know what happened? NOTHING HAPPENED because that is NOT HOW CAUSALITY WORKS. Your sellers are out eight hundred dollars in non-refundable airfare to Phoenix, a city The Court has strong feelings about due to an incident at a Scottsdale open house that is NOT relevant here, and this agent is treating a Friday closing like a SUGGESTION while she masticates her way through what Reginald can only assume was a COMPLETELY UNDESERVED lunch. The Court finds the confessing agent INNOCENT of wrongdoing and instead issues a bench warrant for the other agent's real estate license, her lunch, and whatever audacity gland is clearly malfunctioning in her brain. ORDER THE ROOMBA HAS HEARD ENOUGH AND SO HAS THE COURT.”

“The other agent emailed at 9pm saying my listing photos made the house look bigger than it is and she was going to report me to the board, which okay first of all I used a wide angle lens like literally everyone does, but she tagged the brokerage Instagram account in a post calling it "deceptive marketing" and said her buyers drove 40 minutes and felt misled, and then her followers (she has like 8,000 somehow) started commenting on every single one of our posts going back months, just the word "scam" over and over, and my broker called me at 6am asking why there were 200 notifications, and the thing is the house is 1,100 square feet, I listed it as 1,100 square feet, the photos show the actual rooms that actually exist, her buyers just didn't read the listing before driving out there which is not my problem except now it is my problem because someone screenshotted the whole thing and put it in a local Facebook group with 12,000 members and now the seller is asking if this affects the price and I don't know what to tell her because three showings canceled this week and the other agent never even apologized she just deleted her post like that fixes anything”

GUILTY OF AGGRAVATED WIDE-ANGLE WARFARE AND BEING COLLATERAL DAMAGE IN A SOCIAL MEDIA DRIVE-BY

“The Court has reviewed this confession with the weariness of a man who has seen too much, and frankly Reginald needs a moment because this case is EXACTLY why I no longer allow Instagram at family gatherings. Let the record show that the accused deployed a wide-angle lens, which is the photographic equivalent of wearing Spanx to a first date — technically legal, universally practiced, and only criminal if you lie about the contents. The buyers drove FORTY MINUTES without reading that the home was eleven hundred square feet, which was CLEARLY STATED, and The Court must ask: do these people also order at restaurants without looking at the menu and then sob when the burger arrives? Meanwhile this other agent, this eight-thousand-follower MENACE, orchestrated a comment-section jihad and then DELETED THE EVIDENCE like a coward fleeing a crime scene in sensible flats. I once had a listing where someone complained the backyard looked bigger in photos and I said "ma'am that is called THE SUN" and she reported ME to a board that does not exist. The seller asking if this affects price is like asking if a tornado affected your gazebo — YES, OBVIOUSLY, because we live in a hellscape where accountability has been replaced by screenshot culture. You are guilty only of being caught in the crossfire of someone else's unhinged vendetta, and The Court sentences the other agent in absentia to a lifetime of buyers who ask if the basement can be converted into a bowling alley.”

“We lost the earnest money dispute. That's where this ends. Here's how we got there. January: Sign up for mastermind group. $3,000 for six months. Guy runs it from his boat apparently. February: First "hot seat" call. He tells me my problem is I don't "create urgency." Gives me scripts. March: Use the scripts. Tell buyers the market's moving faster than it is. One couple panics, writes offer $40k over on a house that's been sitting. April: Inspection comes back rough. Foundation issues. They want out. April, same week: Seller won't release earnest money. $12,000. May: Mastermind guy's advice? "That's a mindset issue, not a strategy issue." June: Buyers hire attorney. Name me in the complaint. July: Settle. My E&O deductible is $5,000. The boat guy's still posting wins.”

GUILTY OF URGENCY MANUFACTURING IN THE FIRST DEGREE WITH AGGRAVATED BOAT-BASED CONSPIRACY

“The Court has reviewed this confession and finds itself PHYSICALLY ILL at the sheer audacity of paying three thousand dollars to receive advice from a man who apparently conducts business while fighting seasickness. Let Reginald be clear: you did not join a mastermind group, you joined a floating pyramid scheme with nautical theming, and the only thing you mastered was the art of creating fake urgency that resulted in VERY REAL legal consequences. You told buyers the market was moving faster than it was, which is like telling someone the building is on fire when actually you just burned some toast, except in this case the toast cost them forty thousand dollars and YOU ate the deductible. The Court once paid two hundred dollars for a webinar called "Leverage Your Listings" and the only thing I leveraged was my own disappointment into a strongly worded email that went unanswered, SO I UNDERSTAND THE IMPULSE, but I did not subsequently commit what amounts to market velocity perjury against innocent homebuyers. And when the foundation crumbled, so did your defense, because "the boat guy told me to" is not a legal strategy recognized in any jurisdiction including international waters where he apparently LURKS. The Court sentences you to never again take advice from anyone whose office has a hull, and notes for the record that the real mindset issue is believing that a man who fled to the sea has anything to teach you about solid ground. Case dismissed, Reginald must go lie down.”
