Mommy’s Realtor

She came to assess the house. She had no idea she’d be the one appraised.

Tessa is seven months into her real estate career — prepared, professional, and determined to prove herself. When a listing appointment leads her to Victoria Watson, she encounters something no amount of preparation could have readied her for: a woman who asks the wrong questions at exactly the right moment, who moves through her own home like she owns everything in it, and whose attention makes Tessa’s carefully constructed competence feel very, very thin.

Victoria isn’t selling her house.

She never was.
