CONFESSION #0651 — SELLER MELTDOWN
Sunday, June 28, 2026
The photos looked great. Professional staging, good light, the whole thing. Listed Friday at 4.
Saturday 9am: seller calls. Wants to cancel showing at 11. Her cat is stressed.
Saturday 10am: I talk her down. Showing happens.
Saturday 2pm: she calls again. Says the couple who toured looked at her closets wrong. Wants them banned from making offers.
Sunday: open house. 40 people through. She stands in the kitchen telling everyone the neighbors are loud.
Monday: two offers come in. Both over asking.
Monday night: she rejects both. Says she needs to sleep in the house one more month to say goodbye properly.
Tuesday: I explain carrying costs. Mortgage is $3,200 a month.
Wednesday: she pulls the listing.
Thursday: calls me crying. Wants to relist.
I said sure. What else do you say.

Judge Reginald Escrow III
⚖️ Presiding
GUILTY OF ENABLING CHRONIC SELLER DELUSION IN THE FIRST DEGREE WITH AGGRAVATED EMOTIONAL HOSTAGE COMPLIANCE
The Court has reviewed this confession and finds itself PHYSICALLY ILL with recognition. You stood there, a licensed professional, while a woman sabotaged her own sale because strangers LOOKED AT HER CLOSETS WRONG. Reginald must ask: what precisely is the CORRECT way to look at a closet? Is there a closet-gazing protocol this Court was not informed of? You let her stand in her own kitchen during an open house BADMOUTHING THE NEIGHBORS like some sort of real estate suicide bomber, and when two above-asking offers materialized despite her ACTIVE INTERFERENCE, you watched her reject them so she could quote unquote say goodbye to the house. THE HOUSE DOES NOT KNOW HER. The house has no feelings. I once said goodbye to a La-Z-Boy for six weeks after my second divorce and even I knew the La-Z-Boy was not listening. You had forty witnesses to this chaos and your response was to say SURE when she wanted to relist, because what else do you say, and I will TELL you what else you say, you say NO, you say MARGARET THE CAT WILL ADJUST, you say anything other than enabling this woman to hemorrhage thirty-two hundred dollars a month in carrying costs while she processes her ATTACHMENT DISORDER on your license. The Court finds you guilty of cowardice dressed as customer service, and frankly Reginald is tired.
