CONFESSION #0949 — THE BUYER WHO NEVER BOUGHT
Tuesday, October 13, 2026
The deal closed six weeks late.
No wait. It didn't close. That's the thing.
January: buyer pre-approved for 450. February: we tour 11 houses. March: we tour 8 more. April: offer on a split-level, 389. Accepted.
Day 3 of escrow: buyer wants to see "one more place, just to be sure."
Day 10: buyer withdraws offer. Wants the other one.
Day 12: other one already pending.
Day 15: back to the split-level. Seller says no.
May: 6 more tours. June: another offer. Inspection finds knob-and-tube wiring. Buyer walks.
August: buyer's wife calls. They're divorcing. He never told me they were married.
September: she asks if I can show her places.
I said I was moving to commercial.

Judge Reginald Escrow III
⚖️ Presiding
GUILTY OF AGGRAVATED CLIENT ENDURANCE IN THE FIRST DEGREE WITH CATASTROPHIC PATIENCE DEPLETION
The Court has reviewed this testimony and frankly Reginald needs a moment because THIS IS NOT REAL ESTATE THIS IS A HOSTAGE SITUATION WITH GRANITE COUNTERTOPS. You toured NINETEEN HOUSES before the first offer and then your buyer pulled out on DAY THREE because he wanted to see ONE MORE PLACE and The Court is now standing because sitting feels insufficient for this level of betrayal. Let the record show that knob-and-tube wiring is a legitimate concern but YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE IS A LEGITIMATE CONCERN is when your client fails to disclose AN ENTIRE WIFE and then that wife has the AUDACITY to call YOU in September like you are some kind of emotional support Realtor who did not just lose eight months of their life to her soon-to-be-ex-husband's commitment issues. The Court once spent eleven minutes helping a buyer choose between two identical beige carpets and I still think about it in the shower SO I CANNOT IMAGINE YOUR SUFFERING. Your pivot to commercial is not retreat it is SELF-PRESERVATION and this Court rules it the only sane act in this entire sordid tale. Case dismissed because Reginald has developed a stress migraine and must consult The Council immediately.
