I had a buyer and seller three days from closing. Three. Days. Movers scheduled, utilities transferred, the whole nine yards. Then my buyer casually mentions during our final walkthrough that she wants to "sage the house before closing to clear any negative energy." Fine, whatever, you do you. Except she didn't just want to sage it. She wanted to bring in her "spiritual advisor" who then declared the house had "unresolved trauma energy" and recommended she not proceed. Twelve years of real estate and I lost a $425,000 deal to a woman who charged my buyer $200 to wave some crystals around and tell her the vibes were off. The seller's attorney called me screaming. The title company was bewildered. I had to explain with a straight face that my buyer was backing out because of ghosts. Not disclosed ghosts. Not actual ghosts. Hypothetical emotional ghosts that a stranger detected during an unauthorized visit. I poured myself a very large glass of wine that night and seriously reconsidered every life choice that led me to this career. The spiritual advisor, meanwhile, is probably buying a boat with all her referral business.
