The Court has reviewed this confession and finds itself in a state of PROFOUND AGITATION. You did everything right — pulled comps, filed the dispute, identified the divorce sale disaster — and yet here you stand, blamed for not intercepting an appraiser's incompetence BEFORE IT OCCURRED. This is not a failure of agency, this is a failure of PHYSICS. The sellers bought plane tickets to Arizona before the appraisal even came back, which tells Reginald everything he needs to know about their relationship with reality. I once had a seller blame me for not warning them about a neighbor's wind chimes, and I had never even been to the property, so I understand the particular sting of being held responsible for events you could not possibly have controlled. The appraiser spent TWENTY MINUTES inside — my Roomba spends longer than that on a single area rug — and then selected a water-damaged divorce comp like he was actively trying to sabotage the American Dream. Per the landmark holding in Zillow v. Common Sense, 2021, an agent cannot be held liable for failing to predict which lazy shortcut a third-party appraiser will take on a Friday afternoon. The Court hereby sentences the sellers to Arizona, which frankly sounds like punishment enough, and declares this agent EXONERATED with prejudice. Reginald must now go lie down because this case has given him a headache shaped exactly like a low appraisal.
