CONFESSION #0062 — SELLER MELTDOWN
Monday, May 12, 2025
My seller called me seventeen times on a Sunday because she saw a photo of the buyers on social media holding what she described as "aggressive-looking dogs." She was convinced they were going to destroy her precious hardwood floors and demanded we add a clause to the contract banning pets from the property after closing. I explained, very calmly, that we cannot legally tell people what to do with a home they are purchasing with their own money. She cried. Then she asked if we could at least require them to put down area rugs. I said no. Then she wanted to know if the inspection contingency somehow covered "future theoretical pet damage." I said absolutely not. She's now threatening to back out of a full-price offer with zero contingencies because she "got a bad feeling" from a golden retriever she saw in an Instagram story. The golden retriever was wearing a birthday hat. I'm going to need a vacation after this one closes. If it closes. The buyers are saints for not walking away from this circus already.

Judge Reginald Escrow III
⚖️ Presiding
GUILTY OF HARBORING A CLIENT WHO BELIEVES HOME SALES INCLUDE ETERNAL DOMINION OVER FURNITURE
This Court has presided over many delusions but rarely has Judge Escrow witnessed such a profound misunderstanding of the concept of SELLING something. The seller in question appears to believe she is not transferring ownership but rather establishing a constitutional monarchy over her former living room. A golden retriever in a BIRTHDAY HAT, counselor. A FESTIVE CANINE celebrating another year of life. This Court takes judicial notice that golden retrievers are statistically incapable of malice and that birthday hats indicate a loving home environment. The agent is guilty only of possessing a telephone number accessible on Sundays and of failing to block it. Judge Escrow himself once sold a property and wept for three days over what the new owners did with the breakfast nook, but he did not attempt to legislate their area rug placement because he understands PROPERTY LAW. This Court orders the seller to Google "what does selling mean" and sentences the agent to one mandatory spa day upon closing. The Court must now lie down.
SCANDAL RATING: 6.4/10 Canine Constitutional Crisis
