Welcome back to Real Talk with Andres & Heather, the podcast where we say the quiet part out loud about real estate, business, and the situations nobody warns you about—live, unfiltered, and without the highlight-reel nonsense.

In this “Am I the A-Hole? Real Estate Edition,” Andres and Heather unpack a powerful and emotionally charged scenario that many agents quietly face:

A listing agent takes on sellers going through a bitter divorce.
Communication is tense. Emotions are high. Boundaries start to blur.
Then—just days before closing—one seller asks the agent to secretly delay the sale because selling the house makes the divorce feel final.

What happens when clients want emotional support that goes far beyond your role as an agent?
Where is the line between compassion and professional responsibility?
And at what point is it okay to step back to protect your mental health?

In this episode, we dive into:

Real estate boundaries and emotional labor

Divorce listings and high-conflict transactions

When agents become therapists—and why that’s dangerous

How to protect yourself, your clients, and your business

Why setting boundaries doesn’t make you heartless—it makes you professional

So… was the agent protecting their sanity, or abandoning a client at their lowest point?

There’s no clean answer—only perspective, experience, and hard conversations.

Listen in, then tell us: Was the agent wrong—or was this the right call?
