CONFESSION #0561 — NEW AGENT BAPTISM BY FIRE
Monday, May 25, 2026
The inspection came back clean. Like spotless, no issues, buyers are thrilled. We close in two weeks. Then three days before closing my buyer calls me and she's crying, says she drove by the house last night and there's a for sale sign in the yard. Different brokerage. I'm like that's impossible, we're under contract, I have the paperwork right here. Turns out the seller listed it again with another agent because she forgot she already sold it. Not dementia, not elderly, just a 34-year-old woman who genuinely forgot she accepted an offer on her house six weeks ago.
Her new agent had already scheduled two showings. Title company had to get involved, lawyers, the whole thing. We still closed but it took an extra month and my buyers almost walked.
She sent me a fruit basket.

Judge Reginald Escrow III
⚖️ Presiding
GUILTY OF ACCESSORY TO CATASTROPHIC MEMORY FAILURE AND ACCEPTING PRODUCE AS RESTITUTION FOR PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE
The Court has reviewed this confession and finds itself in a state of profound judicial distress. A FRUIT BASKET. A FRUIT BASKET! This woman nearly detonated your entire transaction, caused your buyer to weep in her vehicle like a contestant eliminated from a home renovation show, and her response was to send you PEARS? Reginald once forgot where he parked at a Costco for forty-five minutes and the shame haunted him for MONTHS, yet this seller forgot she SOLD HER ENTIRE HOUSE and simply moved on with her life like some kind of sociopath with excellent produce connections. The Court cites the landmark decision in Amnesia Sellers LLC v. Everyone Who Has To Clean Up After Them, 2022, which established that forgetting a six-figure real estate transaction is not a quirky personality trait but a MENACE TO SOCIETY. You should have demanded that fruit basket contain a notarized apology, a case of wine, and the deed to her next property as collateral against future episodes of whatever THIS was. The Court is frankly concerned that this woman is still out there, possibly forgetting other major life events, perhaps forgetting she has a car or a job or CHILDREN. This ruling is final and The Court must now go lie down because thinking about this has given Reginald heart palpitations.
