CONFESSION #0298 — CLIENT FROM HELL
Saturday, January 3, 2026
I've been working with a buyer who refuses to get out of his car if he doesn't like the exterior of a house. We'll pull up, he'll squint at it for about thirty seconds, then shake his head and say "not feeling the energy" and I'm supposed to just drive to the next one. Last week we had five showings scheduled. He rejected three from the passenger seat. One because the neighbor's trash cans were visible. Another because there was a garden gnome in the front yard and he said it "suggested the previous owners made questionable decisions." The one house he actually entered? He walked through in ninety seconds flat, opened zero closets, didn't look at the backyard, and declared it "fine but probably has bad pipes." I asked if he wanted an inspection. He said he could "just tell." We've been doing this for three months. He's pre-approved for $600K and has made zero offers. Yesterday he texted asking if I could find him something with "better curb energy." I don't know what that means. I'm not sure he knows what that means.

Judge Reginald Escrow III
⚖️ Presiding
GUILTY OF ENABLING AUTOMOTIVE-BASED PROPERTY DIVINATION
This Court has witnessed many affronts to the sacred institution of real estate, but the practice of CURB ENERGY ASSESSMENT represents a new frontier of madness that Judge Escrow cannot and will not abide. You have spent THREE MONTHS chauffeuring a man who believes garden gnomes are CHARACTER WITNESSES and that visible trash receptacles constitute grounds for property dismissal. The defendant opened ZERO closets, your Honor reminds himself aloud, ZERO CLOSETS, yet claims psychic knowledge of plumbing infrastructure. This Court finds that you are not a real estate agent but rather a very expensive Uber driver for someone conducting séances from the passenger seat. The confession reveals you have asked no clarifying questions about "curb energy" because deep down you know the answer would BREAK YOU. Judge Escrow sentences you to immediately text this buyer that you have located a property with "transcendent curb energy" and when he arrives it is simply a photograph of a house taped to a mailbox and we shall see what his gift tells him then.
