So we actually did make a valiant effort to burn the rat - house down before the new closing date . And by " valiant effort , " I mean that we flipped the breakers back on out of curiosity after the a / c and lights conked out half - way through our measurement - taking for baseboards and paint estimates . Enter sparks , flames , and a realtor whose vocabulary was pretty much reduced to " Really ? "
According to the above context, answer the following question.
What cause the realtor to ask " really ? "


We ruined the chance for a sale of the house .
