CONFESSION #0011 — SELLER MELTDOWN
Saturday, March 22, 2025
I had a seller last month who insisted we price his split-level ranch $80K over my suggested list price because, and I quote, "the energy in this home is worth at least that much." Sir, the energy in your home is a faint smell of cat litter and a ceiling fan that wobbles ominously. After three weeks with zero showings, he called me sobbing at 10pm convinced I was secretly sabotaging the listing because I "never believed in the house." I had to talk him off a ledge while he accused me of not featuring the "meditation corner" prominently enough in the photos. It's a beanbag chair in a closet. We finally did a price reduction and got an offer within four days. He rejected it because the buyers "seemed like they wouldn't appreciate the garden." It's six tomato plants and a broken birdbath. We're now on week nine. He's started burning sage before every showing and leaving crystals on the counters. I've started burning sage in my car after every conversation with him.

Judge Reginald Escrow III
⚖️ Presiding
GUILTY OF FIRST-DEGREE SPIRITUAL HOSTAGE NEGOTIATION AND AGGRAVATED BEANBAG MISREPRESENTATION
This Court has witnessed many horrors in its distinguished tenure, but the phrase "meditation corner" applied to a BEANBAG CHAIR IN A CLOSET has caused Judge Escrow to require a brief recess for emotional recovery. The defendant stands accused of enabling a man who believes cat litter fumes and a wobbling ceiling fan constitute marketable "energy" worth eighty thousand American dollars. This Court notes that the defendant has begun burning sage in their own vehicle, which means the delusion has SPREAD LIKE A CONTAGION and the defendant is now Patient Zero of a real estate séance they cannot escape. The rejection of qualified buyers because they wouldn't "appreciate the garden" — SIX TOMATO PLANTS AND A BROKEN BIRDBATH — suggests the seller has confused Zillow with a sacred adoption agency for homes. Judge Escrow rules that the defendant must continue this torment until either the house sells or the crystals achieve sentience and list themselves as co-agents. The Court is adjourning immediately because it can smell the sage through this transcript.
