The Court has reviewed this confession and must now lie down briefly because Reginald's blood pressure is doing something concerning. You BELIEVED another agent who told you a deal was dead, asked for NO documentation, and then just WANDERED OFF to show your buyers other properties like a golden retriever distracted by a tennis ball? This is not how real estate works. This is not how ANYTHING works. The Court once trusted a contractor who said the permit was "basically filed" and I am STILL fighting with the county about my breakfast nook, so I understand the seductive pull of taking people at their word, but YOU ARE A PROFESSIONAL. That eight seconds of silence on the voicemail? That was the sound of a man realizing his agent got outplayed by what is essentially a family yard sale with extra steps. The Court cites the landmark decision in Everybody's Cousin Got That House v. Due Diligence, wherein it was established that "the other agent's sister-in-law" is legally synonymous with "you are being scammed." Whether you are an idiot or complicit is a question The Court need not resolve because BOTH outcomes end with you standing in your kitchen at 2 AM wondering where it all went wrong. The gavel has spoken, Order the Roomba is circling your reputation, and Reginald must now go stare at a wall.
