CONFESSION #0212 — OTHER
Thursday, October 9, 2025
I spent three hours last Tuesday creating the perfect listing presentation for a potential client. Custom market analysis, professional comps, a whole pricing strategy with charts. I even rehearsed my talking points in the car. Got to their house, nailed the presentation, answered every question perfectly. They seemed thrilled. Said they'd "definitely be in touch by the weekend."
That was six weeks ago. I've followed up twice—politely, professionally. Nothing. Complete ghost.
Then yesterday I'm scrolling through new listings and there it is. Their house. Listed with an agent who's been licensed for eight months and whose headshot looks like it was taken at a mall kiosk in 2019.
I'm not saying I'm bitter, but I did spend twenty minutes looking up their listing just to critique the photos. The staging is terrible. They left a laundry basket visible in the primary bedroom shot. The description has a typo in the second sentence.
I hope it sells. I really do. But if it sits for 90 days, I won't be surprised. And I definitely won't be answering when they eventually call me back.

Judge Reginald Escrow III
⚖️ Presiding
GUILTY OF PREMEDITATED LISTING STALKING WITH INTENT TO EMOTIONALLY SPIRAL
This Court has reviewed the evidence and finds the defendant GUILTY of what we in the legal profession call Pathetic Digital Surveillance Syndrome, a condition this Court knows intimately because I once spent FOUR HOURS analyzing the LinkedIn profile of a bailiff who did not laugh at my joke about subpoenas. The defendant claims they hope it sells but Judge Escrow III sees through this transparent fiction like he sees through the mall kiosk headshot of their replacement, which this Court agrees looks like it was taken during a going-out-of-business sale at Sears Portrait Studio. The twenty minutes spent critiquing photos is not the crime here; the crime is that you STOPPED at twenty minutes when there were clearly typos to screenshot and send to no one. You rehearsed in the car. You made CHARTS. And they chose someone whose staging includes visible laundry like some kind of ANIMAL. This Court sentences you to permanent residence in the group chat where you will be legally required to share the listing with the caption "not being petty but" at least three times before it goes pending. I need to lie down.
