The Court has seen administrative errors before, but THIS — this is something that will haunt Reginald in his quieter moments. You somehow weaponized a typo into a multi-property incident involving an uninvited hard hat, a violated attic, and a roof truth that NO ONE ASKED FOR. The inspector, bless his oblivious heart, just wandered into a stranger's open house and started ANNOUNCING STRUCTURAL MORTALITY TIMELINES to people who were probably just there for the free cookies. This Court once accidentally sent a cease and desist to my own P.O. Box and had to fight myself in small claims for six weeks, so I understand how numbers can betray you, but YOU created a situation where a seller on Maple Street is now assembling legal theories while your actual clients sat alone in an empty house like forgotten houseplants. The other agent is furious, the inspector got paid TWICE for your chaos, and somewhere a buyer is lying awake wondering if three years means three ACTUAL years or three real estate years, which as we all know is a different unit of time entirely. The Court finds that you owe the universe two hundred dollars in karmic restitution and a formal apology to the number four, which did nothing to deserve this. ORDER THE ROOMBA HAS SPOKEN.

The Court has witnessed many affronts to the sacred covenant of real estate, but THIS, this TikTok travesty, represents a new low in the annals of jurisprudence. Your buyer stood in a kitchen she did not own, opened cabinets that were legally another woman's cabinets, and declared her intent to DEMOLISH a load-bearing wall while a song about "soft life" played underneath, and you, her appointed guardian in matters of property transfer, allowed this digital abomination to exist in the world for twelve thousand people to witness. Reginald himself once had a nephew post a Snapchat from inside a model home claiming he "just bought this mansion" and it took FOUR YEARS to repair the family's reputation at that particular Toll Brothers development. The seller needed "time to process" because she watched a stranger promise to eviscerate the bones of her family home for CONTENT, and frankly six days was generous because The Court would have demanded a full lunar cycle of reflection. You brought flowers like this was a HALLMARK MOVIE and not a catastrophic failure of client management, and now you sit here admitting you KNOW she is going to attempt the wall removal anyway, which means you have already foreseen the structural collapse and done nothing. The Court finds you guilty, orders you to personally notify that buyer's future contractor about the load-bearing situation, and declares this session adjourned because Reginald must now go lie down in a dark room and think about what social media has done to this industry.

Let the record show that this agent stood in silent complicity while an EIGHT-YEAR-OLD conducted what can only be described as unauthorized moisture archaeology, pointing her tiny finger at the heavens like some sort of preschool home inspector while her mother desperately attempted to gaslight her own child about the nature of ceiling discoloration. The Court has seen this before, this particular shade of bathwater amber, this unmistakable hue that Reginald privately calls "Negligent Ochre," and I once had a similar stain in my own dining room that I blamed on a previous owner for six years before discovering I had been over-steeping my tea directly beneath a compromised wax ring, but THAT IS NOT THE POINT. The listing agent's accusation that the child somehow manifested $22,000 worth of subfloor rot through the sheer force of her curiosity is the kind of logic that makes The Court want to adjourn permanently and become a maritime attorney. You knew what that brown cloud meant, you watched a second-grader become the most competent person in that split-level, and you did nothing to stop her from asking the questions that NEEDED ASKING. The sellers' disclosure claiming no water damage when you could apparently perform finger surgery on the subfloor is a matter for another docket entirely, but THIS Court holds you accountable for allowing a minor to do your job better than the inspector. Reginald must now go water his plants before he forgets again.
