CONFESSION #0083 — LOWBALL OFFER
Monday, June 2, 2025
I just received an offer where the buyer's agent actually wrote in the comments section that their client "really loves the home and feels a deep spiritual connection to the property." Beautiful sentiment. The offer? $87,000 under asking with a request that we include all the furniture, the riding lawn mower, AND cover their closing costs. Oh, and they need a 60-day rent-back at no charge because their apartment lease doesn't end until then. I called the agent to see if there was any flexibility and she said her buyers were "firm but motivated." Firm but motivated to what, exactly? Insult my seller into a stress ulcer? The best part is they included a pre-approval letter from some online lender I've never heard of that expired two months ago. I presented it to my seller with a straight face because that's my job, and she just stared at me for a solid ten seconds before asking if this was some kind of elaborate prank. I wish it were, Karen. I really wish it were.

⚖️ Presiding
GUILTY OF PRESENTING A SPIRITUAL LOWBALL WRAPPED IN AUDACITY AND EXPIRED CREDENTIALS
This Court has witnessed many crimes against professional dignity, but rarely has it seen such a magnificent tower of delusion constructed with such confidence. The buyer feels a "deep spiritual connection" to the property yet offers $87,000 less than asking, which suggests their spirit guide is a raccoon who lives in a dumpster behind a bankruptcy attorney's office. They want the furniture, the lawn mower, closing costs covered, AND sixty days of free rent because their APARTMENT LEASE hasn't ended? The Court is experiencing what can only be described as judicial vertigo. And the expired pre-approval letter—EXPIRED BY TWO MONTHS—presented as if it were currency rather than kindling. Judge Escrow must pause to collect himself, for he fears his gavel hand may never recover from the tremors this confession has induced. The agent who wrote "firm but motivated" should be required to look up both words in a dictionary while standing in a corner. Case dismissed because the Court needs a moment alone.
SCANDAL RATING: 7.8/10 Spiritually Delusional Lowballing
