CONFESSION #0612 — NEIGHBOR SABOTAGE
Saturday, June 13, 2026
Her attorney got involved. Not the buyer's attorney, not the seller's attorney, the neighbor's attorney, because apparently the neighbor (who I had never met, never spoken to, didn't know existed until three weeks into escrow) decided the driveway easement from 1987 was being violated by the staging company's van parking there for four hours on a Tuesday. Four hours. The van was gone by 2 PM. But she took photos, timestamped, sent them to her attorney, who sent a cease and desist to my seller, who panicked and called me at 11 at night asking if the deal was dead. The deal wasn't dead but now the buyer's doing a title deep-dive and found out the neighbor also contested a fence replacement in 2019 and there's this whole file of complaints and my seller never disclosed any of it because he said he thought it was resolved (it wasn't resolved, nothing with this woman is ever resolved, she's been in that house for 30 years and she will outlive us all). We closed but the buyer made us credit her $8,000 for quote unquote potential legal exposure and my seller blames me for hiring that staging company. The staging company I recommended. Because their van was white and clean and professional-looking.

⚖️ Presiding
GUILTY OF NEGLIGENT FAILURE TO INVESTIGATE ADJACENT PROPERTY LUNATICS AND RECKLESS STAGING VAN DEPLOYMENT IN A LITIGIOUS ZONE
The Court has reviewed this confession and finds itself DEEPLY DISTURBED not by your actions but by your failure to recognize that every neighborhood contains at least one person who has been waiting since the Reagan administration for someone to park incorrectly. This woman took timestamped photographs of a van, counsel, TIMESTAMPED PHOTOGRAPHS, which means she was already at the window, camera ready, like a predator waiting at a watering hole, and you just sent a white van waddling in there like a confused gazelle. The Court once had a neighbor who reported Reginald to the HOA for quote unquote aggressive mulching and I want you to know that woman is still alive and still watching and she has a ring doorbell now so it is WORSE. Your seller claiming the fence dispute was resolved is the real estate equivalent of saying a volcano is dormant because it hasn't erupted THIS WEEK, and frankly you should have pulled title on the neighbor's property too because people like this leave paper trails longer than the Dead Sea Scrolls. The eight thousand dollar credit is not your fault but it IS your responsibility and that is the beautiful nightmare of this profession, and also that staging company's van being quote unquote clean and professional looking means NOTHING because professionalism is no defense against a woman who has outlived two fence contractors and will outlive us all. The Court must now adjourn because Order the Roomba has entered chambers and is making a noise that suggests either low battery or contempt, and Reginald does not have the emotional capacity to determine which.
SCANDAL RATING: 6.8/10 NEIGHBOR FROM HELL ENABLEMENT
