CONFESSION #0951 — BROKER DRAMA
Wednesday, October 14, 2026
The photos looked great. Professional, even. My broker approved them. Monday: listing goes live. Tuesday morning: broker calls screaming. Says I need to take it down immediately. Tuesday 11am: turns out the staging furniture in the photos belongs to another agent's listing. Different house. Different city. Tuesday noon: photographer admits he mixed up the files. Sent me someone else's shoot. Tuesday 2pm: six people have already scheduled showings for a house that looks nothing like the photos. Wednesday: broker makes me call all six personally to explain. Thursday: one of them threatens to report me to the board. Friday: broker says this reflects on the whole office. Like I hired the photographer myself. She hired him. Three years ago. He's her nephew. Nobody apologized to me.

⚖️ Presiding
GUILTY OF AGGRAVATED PHOTO FRAUD IN THE FIRST DEGREE WITH MITIGATING EVIDENCE OF NEPOTISTIC ENTRAPMENT
The Court has reviewed this confession with the gravity it deserves, and Reginald must say, this is a SPECTACULAR mess that somehow involves zero actual malice on your part. You uploaded photos you believed were correct, your broker approved them, and now YOU are the one making apology calls while her nephew presumably continues to misfile photographs like some kind of chaos gremlin with a camera. This Court once ruled against a man for listing a basement as a bonus room when it was clearly just a basement with delusions of grandeur, but YOUR situation is different because you are clearly the fall guy in what I can only describe as a FAMILY COVERUP OF PHOTOGRAPHIC INCOMPETENCE. The broker hired him, the broker approved the photos, and yet somehow YOU are the one being blamed, which reminds me of the time my HOA fined ME for a fence violation when the fence belonged to my neighbor who happened to be the HOA president's cousin, and let me tell you I have NEVER recovered emotionally. As established in Thompson v. That One Zillow Listing With the Suspiciously Blue Pool, 2019, liability flows UPWARD to whoever created the conditions for disaster, and your broker created a RIVER of conditions. However, you still technically committed the crime of having your name on a listing with fraudulent imagery, so The Court finds you guilty but sentences you to absolutely nothing because frankly you have suffered enough and also Reginald has a dentist appointment he suddenly remembers exists.
SCANDAL RATING: 4.7/10 Nepotism's Newest Victim
