⚖️ Presiding
GUILTY OF CATASTROPHIC TITLE VERIFICATION NEGLIGENCE IN THE FIRST DEGREE WITH AGGRAVATED FAILURE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT DIVORCE EXISTS AS A CONCEPT
The Court is PHYSICALLY UNWELL at the revelation that two licensed real estate professionals from the SAME BROKERAGE looked at a man mowing a lawn and said yes this is sufficient proof of ownership. He showed you a deed from 2016 and NOBODY thought to ask what happened in the subsequent SEVEN YEARS of human existence? Reginald himself once dated a woman for three weeks before discovering she was still technically married to a man named Doug who lived in the basement, so The Court understands how these things can slip through the cracks, BUT REGINALD WAS NOT FACILITATING A FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR REAL ESTATE TRANSACTION AT THE TIME. You accepted a deed older than most TikTok trends as conclusive evidence while this man was out there WATERING ANOTHER WOMAN'S AZALEAS WITH CRIMINAL INTENT. The ex-wife owns a home she did not know was being sold by a man she presumably divorced for EXCELLENT REASONS, and somewhere a title company employee is still staring at their computer screen wondering if this profession was worth the student loans. Twelve hours of online compliance training is INSUFFICIENT — The Court hereby recommends you also be required to Google the phrase "public records search" while a disappointed broker watches. This Court must now adjourn because Reginald has just remembered he never verified who actually owns his own condominium.
SCANDAL RATING: 5.8/10 DEED OF DELUSION
