CONFESSION #0955 — THE BUYER WHO NEVER BOUGHT
Thursday, October 15, 2026
The second showing was supposed to be quick. She'd already seen the house twice before with another agent (her cousin, who gave up, which should have been my sign) and she called me saying she was ready to make an offer, just needed one more look at the backyard to measure for her hot tub. Fine. We're there maybe three minutes before she starts asking about the neighbor's fence line and whether the seller would consider replacing the HVAC and could I find out if anyone died in the house because her daughter is sensitive. Spent the next eight months showing her probably 50 houses, maybe 60, and every single one had something wrong that only appeared after we left—the street was too curved, the garage faced the wrong direction (east, which apparently matters for reasons I still don't understand), one house she loved until she drove past at night and saw the porch light was yellow instead of white. Put in exactly one offer the whole time, 40k under asking on a property that had six other bids, and when it got rejected she said she needed to step back and reassess her whole living situation. Saw her at the grocery store last month and she asked if I was still in the business because she's thinking about starting to look again, maybe in the spring.

⚖️ Presiding
GUILTY OF AGGRAVATED CLIENT TOLERANCE IN THE FIRST DEGREE WITH RECKLESS DISREGARD FOR PERSONAL SANITY
The Court has reviewed this testimony and frankly, Reginald needs a moment because this confession has triggered what my therapist calls "a boundary event." EIGHT MONTHS? SIXTY HOUSES? She rejected a property because the PORCH LIGHT WAS THE WRONG COLOR TEMPERATURE? This is not a buyer, this is a psychological ENDURANCE TEST wearing a Vera Bradley bag and asking about death disclosures. The Court finds it deeply troubling that you witnessed her own COUSIN abandon this mission like a soldier leaving Saigon and you thought "yes, I shall succeed where blood relations have failed." I once ruled against a man for test-driving the same Camry fourteen times but at least he eventually committed to public transportation — this woman committed to NOTHING except your slow spiritual erosion. And NOW, NOW she emerges from the grocery store frozen foods section like a real estate sleep paralysis demon asking if you're "still in the business" as if you weren't CLEARLY shopping for off-brand cereal at 2pm on a Tuesday because of what she did to your commission-based income. The Court sentences you to immediate client vetting protocols and orders that if she calls in spring, you tell her Reginald said no.
SCANDAL RATING: 6.2/10 Showing Stockholm Syndrome
