CONFESSION #0424 — SELLER WHO KEPT CHANGING THINGS
Saturday, April 4, 2026
Her daughter started asking questions. That's how this one started.
Monday: listing signed. Tuesday: photos scheduled. Wednesday: seller calls, says take out the backyard shots, daughter thinks the fence looks cheap.
Thursday: new fence photos. Friday: daughter doesn't like the kitchen island color in the pictures. Seller asks can we edit it.
Saturday: we edit it. Sunday: daughter googles comps, says we're underpriced by 40k.
Monday: price goes up. Tuesday: no showings. Wednesday: daughter finds a scratch on the front door in photo 6. Seller wants reshoot.
Thursday: photographer charges 200 dollars for reshoot. Seller says daughter will pay. Daughter doesn't pay.
Friday: offer comes in at original price. Seller wants to accept. Daughter says wait for better.
They waited. They're still waiting. That was March.

Judge Reginald Escrow III
⚖️ Presiding
GUILTY OF PERMITTING UNLICENSED BACKSEAT DRIVING IN A RESIDENTIAL TRANSACTION ZONE
The Court has reviewed this calendar of horrors and finds the defendant guilty of what can only be described as transactional hostage syndrome. You let a DAUGHTER who has presumably never held a real estate license, never sat through a single continuing education course on fair housing, never experienced the soul-crushing joy of a failed septic inspection, DICTATE the terms of a listing like she was some kind of fence-aesthetics warlord. Reginald himself once had a nephew suggest his gavel collection would look better in a different room and that nephew is no longer invited to Thanksgiving OR Easter OR the summer cookout where I announce my quarterly verdicts. You edited a KITCHEN ISLAND COLOR, counsel, you committed Photoshop crimes against a perfectly serviceable countertop because someone who found comps on GOOGLE decided she understood market dynamics better than a licensed professional. The fence was FINE, the price was FINE, and now these people are sitting in a house that has been on the market since MARCH like some kind of real estate purgatory because you failed to deploy the most powerful tool in your arsenal which is the word NO. This Court has seen spineless behavior before but rarely has it witnessed an agent so thoroughly steamrolled by someone whose primary qualification appears to be being born. Case closed, the Roomba is beeping, Reginald must adjourn to scream into a throw pillow.
