A real estate agent struggles to sell a home because the seller refuses to declutter, clean, or address odor issues, forcing the agent to perform extensive manual cleaning and creative workarounds before every showing, resulting in no offers after 38 showings.

No software solution addresses the core problem of a non-compliant seller who won't prepare the home for showings, requiring the agent to intervene manually.
