I spent two months working with a couple who told me they were "highly motivated" and "ready to move fast." They had very specific requirements: four bedrooms, updated kitchen, big backyard, walkable to downtown, under $500K. Fine. I found them the perfect house on day three. They loved it. Talked about where they'd put the Christmas tree. Then they ghosted me for two weeks. When they finally resurfaced, they said they'd "decided to take a break" because Mercury was in retrograde and their astrologer advised against major purchases. I thought okay, I can wait out a planet. Three weeks later they texted asking to see more houses. Found them another perfect match. They wrote an offer. Seller accepted. We were two days from inspection when they backed out because the wife had a dream that the basement flooded. They're still in my phone as "DO NOT ANSWER" and last week I saw them at Target with a Century 21 agent. I made direct eye contact while holding my coffee. No words were exchanged. None were needed.
