CONFESSION #0755 — LOWBALL OFFER
Wednesday, August 5, 2026
The open house went fine. Great traffic actually, maybe 30 groups through, and then Monday morning this offer comes in at 485 on a house listed at 619 and my seller calls me like I personally wrote the offer, like I went out and found the lowest possible number and submitted it myself, and I'm trying to explain that we don't have to accept it, we don't even have to counter, but she's already crying about how insulting it is (which it is, genuinely) and how her mother's china cabinet is built into the dining room and that alone is worth something, and I didn't have the heart to tell her built-ins actually complicate things because buyers want to rip them out, and meanwhile the buyer's agent calls me to "feel out the temperature" and I said cold, the temperature is cold, and he goes "well my client is flexible" and I said flexible from 485 means what, 490, and he actually laughed like we were friends, like we were in on something together, and my seller is still texting me about the china cabinet, she sent a photo of it, it's not even that nice

⚖️ Presiding
GUILTY OF EMOTIONAL HOSTAGE NEGOTIATION IN THE FIRST DEGREE WITH AGGRAVATED CHINA CABINET PERJURY
The Court has reviewed this confession and finds itself DEEPLY DISTURBED by the multi-front psychological warfare being waged upon this agent, who stands accused of nothing more than existing between two unreasonable parties while a mediocre china cabinet looms in the background like some mahogany specter of delusion. Let the record reflect that Reginald himself once had a client send forty-seven photographs of a breakfast nook over the course of a single weekend, each one captioned with increasingly unhinged claims about "morning light energy," and The Court still wakes up in cold sweats thinking about it. The buyer's agent laughing like you were CONFEDERATES IN LOWBALL CRIMINALITY is grounds for immediate disbarment in at least four states I have invented for this purpose, and his so-called flexibility from 485 to presumably 490 is the numerical equivalent of spitting on the Constitution. As for your seller weeping about an offer she is under ZERO obligation to acknowledge while simultaneously texting photographic evidence of furniture that, per your own testimony, is NOT EVEN THAT NICE, this Court finds her guilty of Decorative Delusion Under Duress, case citation In re: That Built-In Nobody Asked For, 2019. You are hereby sentenced to three days of not answering your phone, effective immediately, and ORDER the Roomba will now escort everyone from my chambers because Reginald has a showing at four and refuses to discuss it further.
SCANDAL RATING: 6.8/10 Cabinet of Lies
