The open house went fine. That's not the problem. The problem is this house has been on market for fourteen months now and we've done maybe twenty open houses and the seller still thinks it's priced right because his neighbor sold for that much in 2021. His neighbor had a pool. His neighbor had a garage that wasn't converted into whatever this is. I don't even know what to call it. There's carpet on the walls. Every single showing, I have to explain the carpet on the walls. Every single one. I've started just saying it was for acoustics because I genuinely don't know and the seller won't tell me, he just says it was expensive. We had a buyer last March who was ready to offer, ready to go, and the seller decided he wanted to be present for the inspection. Not allowed, I told him that, he showed up with a lawn chair and sat in the driveway drinking a Big Gulp and commenting on everything the inspector wrote down. Buyer walked. Had another one in August, got to appraisal, came in sixty thousand under. Seller blamed the appraiser. Then blamed me. Then blamed the buyer's agent specifically, like she personally chose that number. I've reduced my commission twice trying to make deals work. Twice. My broker thinks I'm insane and honestly she's probably right but I just want this thing gone. I dream about this house. Literally. Last week I dreamed the carpet grew onto the ceiling and I woke up sweating.
