I had a seller who decided, two days before closing, that she couldn't part with the house because she'd just realized her grandmother's spirit "lived in the walls." Not a figure of speech. She literally believed her dead grandmother had taken up residence in the drywall. We had buyers who had already given notice at their apartment. Movers booked. Kids enrolled in the new school district. I spent four hours on her porch while she burned sage and asked her grandmother for "permission" to sell. At one point she made me participate in a prayer circle in the living room while her three cats watched from the stairs like furry little judges. The buyers' agent called me six times during this. I just kept texting back "handling it." Finally, grandma apparently gave her blessing through a flickering lightbulb in the kitchen. We closed two days late. I have never in my life been so relieved to see a faulty electrical connection. I'm adding a "spiritual consultation completed" clause to all my future listings. I don't even know if that's legal but I don't care anymore.
