CONFESSION #0166 — CLIENT FROM HELL
Sunday, August 24, 2025
I spent three months with a buyer who had one requirement: the house had to "face the right direction." Not for solar panels. Not for morning light in the kitchen. For his "energy consultant" who apparently needed to approve the home's alignment with some cosmic grid I've never heard of.
We found a gorgeous four-bedroom, updated everything, perfect neighborhood, well under budget. His energy consultant visited, walked around the backyard with what I can only describe as dowsing rods, and declared the house was "seventeen degrees off from prosperity."
Seventeen degrees.
So we kept looking. Found another great option. This time it was "too close to a ley line." The third house had "aggressive earth energy" coming from the basement. I don't even know what that means.
After twelve rejected properties, he finally found one his consultant approved. Put in an offer. Got outbid by ten thousand dollars.
He told me it wasn't meant to be because Mercury was in retrograde and we should pause the search for six weeks. That was two months ago. He just texted me asking if I'm "still available" because Saturn moved.
I'm an atheist now.

Judge Reginald Escrow III
⚖️ Presiding
GUILTY OF ASTROLOGICAL ACCESSORY TO REAL ESTATE MALPRACTICE
This Court has witnessed many crimes against professional dignity, but SEVENTEEN DEGREES OFF FROM PROSPERITY may be the most precise nonsense ever uttered in a residential transaction. You showed this man TWELVE PROPERTIES while a stranger waved STICKS at the DIRT and you just STOOD THERE like a hostage at an open house. Judge Escrow himself once had a client reject a condo because the dishwasher "hummed in B-flat," but at least that man had the decency to blame the appliance and not THE LITERAL POSITION OF SATURN. You allowed dowsing rods into a showing. You learned what "aggressive earth energy" means. You waited out a MERCURY RETROGRADE like it was a perfectly reasonable contractual contingency. The fact that you texted him back when Saturn moved tells this Court everything it needs to know about your commission-based boundaries. This Court declares you spiritually compromised and sentences you to only represent clients who believe in nothing, starting with yourself, apparently.
Cosmically Compromised
