The second showing was supposed to be quick. In and out, young couple, pre-approved, they'd already seen the photos. The stager had been there that morning to finish up. What she finished up was destroying the master bathroom. She brought a live plant. A fern. Huge thing, like 3 feet across. Put it on the edge of the jetted tub for ambiance or whatever. Filled the tub with water because she said the plant looked thirsty and she didn't want it to wilt before the open house Saturday. The tub has a leak. The sellers disclosed this. It's in the paperwork. She didn't read the paperwork. She's a stager, she doesn't read paperwork, that's not her job apparently. By the time we got there the ceiling in the kitchen was bulging. Actually bulging, like a blister. The husband touched it and his finger went through and brown water just. It just came out. All over the island. All over the quartz countertops the sellers spent 12 grand on last year. The couple left. Obviously. They were very polite about it which almost made it worse. The stager's insurance covers up to 5 thousand. The estimate came back at 8. The sellers are asking me who's paying the difference and I don't have an answer yet. My broker's not returning my calls. The fern is still in the tub. Nobody's moved it. Nobody wants to go back in there. I keep thinking about how she could've just. Not watered the plant.
